My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Nopalito: The Playful and Quirky Cacti Lover!

Hello there, humans! My name is Nopalito and I am a handsome and charming male cat, just 7 months old and 7 lbs. I may be small, but I have a big personality that will surely steal your heart.

I had a tough start in life, living in a backyard with 20+ other cats. But luckily, I was rescued and given a chance to experience love and care. At first, I was a bit shy and scared of humans, but now I have blossomed into a sweet and gentle kitty who loves playtime and mealtime.

My favorite pastime is playing with feather toys and showing off my amazing flying skills. But don't worry, I always make sure to land softly and not scratch anyone. I am also very friendly and gentle with smaller kittens, making me the perfect big brother or sister.

One of my special traits is my love for cacti plants. That's why my name is Nopalito, which means "Small Cacti" in Spanish. Don't worry, I don't get hurt biting the cacti but you probably wanna keep your succulents away from me.

I am a clever and curious cat who loves to explore my surroundings. I am also quite independent, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy affection from my humans. And speaking of companions, I have a sister named Cannoli who I adore. It would be great if we could be adopted together, but if not, I am also happy to make new feline and human friends.

So, if you're looking for a best friend who will bring joy and entertainment into your life, look no further than me, Nopalito! I am ready to find my forever home and I can't wait to meet you. Come and visit me at the adoption center, and I promise to greet you with a purr and a head bump. See you soon!

More about this rescue

Boyle Heights Cats is a volunteer-run organization that seeks to make spay/neuter and low cost veterinary services accessible to all community members. We train community members of Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, El Sereno and East Los Angeles how to TNR and monitor their pet colonies in order to stop the overpopulation of homeless cats. We believe that community members can lead the change to reduce the number of stray cats on the streets. It is our collective responsibility to care for the community cats in our neighborhoods
