My story

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


Meet Nellie! She was an outside stray that I caught along with her 3 kittens when they were around 7-8 weeks old (about 12 weeks now). You would never guess that she was formerly feral–I think it’s more likely she was a stray, because she is SO friendly!

Nellie is a beautiful, sweet girl. She loves bathing her kittens and she loves to be pet–she will rub on you or your hand if you’re not actively petting her and she wants some love! She’s becoming extremely playful and fun. It’s really wonderful to watch her get a chance to enjoy playing with and taking care of her kittens now that she feels they are all safe. It’s also a treat to see how happy and peaceful she is settling into a comfortable bed or lying down next to me for some belly rubs. She’s truly a gorgeous cat as well with beautiful markings.

In an ideal world she would be adopted with one of her babies, preferably Poblano. Those two really love each other (as you can see in the pictures).
