This black-and-white beauty is Izanami, named after the goddess of creation who gave birth to the Japanese archipelago.
Izanami used to live on the streets and birthed quite a number of kittens herself. A kind soul in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, gave her and two of her grown kittens a home, and later entrusted them all to ARK.
An ¡°incredibly calm, cool and collected¡± cat, Izanami will make a great companion for someone with a quiet home.

Only 5 years old, Izanami is an ¡°incredibly calm, cool and collected¡± cat once she settles in, according to an ARK staff member. Preferring peace and quiet over games, she loves being stroked and gets a little chatty from time to time.
Izanami will make a perfect companion for someone who is looking for a special friend to chill with in a tranquil home.
