My story

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

*** Nellie & Puff are in a foster home. ***

Nellie: black & white tuxedo, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 6/1/23, #19282
Puff: black & white tuxedo, med-long hair, spayed female, born 6/17/24, #19285

Cats: *BONDED PAIR*
Dogs: prefer not
Children: calm older kids

BACKGROUND: This gorgeous young mama wandered into a yard in the Coachella Valley and promptly gave birth. Nellie had perfect instincts, because the homeowners kept her fed and safe for several weeks while they reached out to rescues. (Their pre-teen daughter named her Nellie!) The family moved into foster care where Nellie was a dedicated and devoted mother.

PERSONALITY: Young mama + kitten = FUN! Their infectious energy will brighten your home.
---Nellie is beyond lovable. She was barely a year old when she gave birth, and she is definitely still a kitten at heart: she’s playful and energetic! Nellie loves to play and pounce and is rarin’ to go whenever you bring out a wand toy. She is ferocious at hunting that red laser dot. When the wands and laser pointers are put away, Nellie will purr and nuzzle against you. She’s a tad reserved with strangers but is super sweet once she has a chance to get to know people.
---Puff is aptly named: look at her floof! And those extra-long whiskers! Even her feet are extra fuzzy. Puff likes ear rubs, cuddling, and toy mice… in any order.
---Nellie did show favoritism among her five babies, and from the start it was Puff, who grew up attached at the hip to her mama. They MUST be adopted together.

COMPATIBILITY: Nellie has continued to be comfortable with all of her kittens even though they are no longer physically reliant on her. She was wary of other cats in her foster home, though as she shifts out of mom mode and if she’s given a slow and proper introduction then she may adapt and be comfortable. They have met a gentle Labrador dog in foster care but Nellie isn’t really a fan and doesn’t like when there’s barking or other loud noises. Older respectful children should be fine though they prefer an overall quieter home.

Sweet Nellie and her Puffalicious daughter are beautiful inside and out. Will they bring their desert-origin warmth to your life with sunshine and smiles for years to come?
