My story

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

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I am looking for a home with a patient person.

I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.

Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!

I have been known to shower my favorite people in love!

Nilsu tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.

My foster writes: Nilsu is the ideal pet for someone looking for a chill friend! He is very comfortable with people (even strangers) and likes to hang around, sitting by your side or taking a nap on your lap. He likes to spend time resting and asking for pets, and loves wet food. He would be perfect for a family that wants a loving pet who is not too active but likes to be around people.
