My story

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

Nausicaa is a sweet, friendly young girl who is always looking to trade pets for purrs. She loves to greet you at the door with a head butt to start the exchange. She has excellent manners and calm energy.

Nausicaa has amazing social skills. She likes to be near you and checks in regularly while going about the day, but she is content to be independent, too. She’s very quick to purr, and it’s a full, generous rumble that just keeps going. She has speedy paws for playing with stick toys, and she often trots around with a toy mouse in her mouth. (She usually drops it if she catches you looking; she’s very dignified). She’s perfectly litter compliant and has been happy to use a cardboard scratching surface or fabric scratching post.

Nausicaa is a proximity cat, not a lap cat (yet, at least!). She doesn’t love to be picked up and held off the ground, but she doesn’t struggle against it, either. Her favorite place is next to you, preferably while you scratch her chin or pet her. She was raising kittens until recently, though, so she’s had a lot on her plate—she’s so young herself that she has a lot of growing and changing left to do.

Nausicaa is beautiful on the inside, but her markings and coloration are stunning, too. She has an elegant clouded tabby coat with sleek, shiny fur. Her eyes are milky jade green, and her nose has the cutest black outline. She has a little freckle on her tongue that is adorable!

Nausicaa is a calm, classic beauty who loves your company and lets you know it with head butts and purring. If a forever companion with first class dignity, a big purr, and a hidden playful streak is your jam, Nausicaa is the girl for you.

Nausicaa is FeLV positive, but oh so deserving of a forever home. Estimated date of birth is Fall of 2022.

Our adoption center is located at 7962 Clyde Park SW Byron Center. We are open by appointment only once an application has been submitted and approved.

'Our adoption facility houses so many kitties. The rest are in foster homes. If you want to meet a specific kitty, please inquire with us before attending an adoption event, so we can make every effort to have the requested kitties available!

For every kitten that is adopted another kitten will have a chance at a healthy happy life. Kitten season has been especially busy this year and we have been at capacity for some time now. Sadly this means people who want to help the cats and kittens in their area are being turned away because of limited resources.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of feral cats through education and action, following the humane methods of Trap-Neuter-Return, and thus treating every feral cat with the compassion and respect they deserve.

The Humane Answer: Trap-Neuter-Return
If you've ever seen cats in an alleyway eating out of dumpsters, or blending into the wild habitat of a wooded area, and wondered about their condition and how you could help them, read on...

Some of them, having been lost or abandoned, have found their way to a colony where they can survive amongst other felines. But the majority live out their lives as feral, or "wild", cats. Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction.

Communities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program.

Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.

For more in-depth information on TNR, please visit our links page to visit the Alley Cat Allies web site or the Feral Friends web site.
