Curious & Alert, A Sweet Companion, Shy Girl

Nellie likes things gentle and easy-going, which is just like her personality! She has never warmed up to being picked up and cuddled in a lap, but she adores to be in the room with her human, keeping them company as they read a book or work on their computer. That is her happy place, and she loves being petted as you both sit there, enjoying your quiet time together. At night, she will snuggle cozily in bed.

At playtime, Nellie has her favorite toys: a stuffed mouse, a fishing pole toy, a feather wand. She has fun chasing her toys around, and especially has a grand time tossing the stuffed mouse into the air…and catching it!

Nellie has stomatitis, which is an inflammation of the mouth; she is currently on meds to make her more comfortable. Stomatitis is typically treated through meds, supportive care, and possible removal of teeth. It may require extra medical care, like medications, and a wet food diet. For more information, please contact APA!

Her ideal home is low-traffic and low-key, with adults, young adults, and older kids who can be respectful of her boundaries and provide treatment for her stomatitis, if necessary. She has never been around little kids, other cats, or dogs, and would be best as the only pet in her new home.

Nellie is a beautiful brown-with-a-hint-of-black and white tabby, a striped tail, big eyes, and a sweet face. She is a tender girl who wants to be your quiet and soulful sidekick, and will sometimes squeak cutely when she wants your attention. She is a little jewel, perfect for someone looking for a companion who is content simply to be near you, sharing space. Contact us today to learn more and to arrange a meet & greet!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
