My story

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

Meet Nugget!

A dashing four-year-old Domestic Short Hair from Roseville, CA, whose sleek black coat and mesmerizing green eyes make him a true heart-stealer. This medium-sized gentleman, weighing in at a healthy 15 pounds, is the perfect mix of spunky and sweet, with a touch of sass that will keep you endlessly entertained!

Nugget is a playful spirit with a love for laser pointers, teaser wands, and anything infused with catnip. When he's not showing off his hunting skills during playtime, you'll find him perched by a window, chattering at birds or soaking up the sights of the world outside. He’s even harness-trained for outdoor adventures—though he’s still working on mastering his confidence. Nugget also adores watching “Cat TV” (squirrel and bird videos are his favorite) and relaxing to calming feline music.

At the heart of Nugget’s charm is his affection. When he’s ready for love, he’ll pad over, climb onto your chest, and settle in for snuggles. During these moments, chin and ear scratches are mandatory, and if you’ve got a soft blanket nearby, he’ll reward you with the cutest biscuit-making performance! Nugget even enjoys being held like a baby—talk about a cuddle pro!

While Nugget thrives on human companionship, he prefers a single-cat home where he can embrace his “bachelor lifestyle.” He’s lived harmoniously with a dog in the past, so canine friends might be a welcome possibility. Nugget is microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. However, he has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which requires a prescription diet and daily medication (happily taken in salmon-flavored Pill Pockets!). His new caregiver will need to continue this regimen to keep him happy and healthy.

Are you ready to welcome a charming, chatty, and snuggle-loving companion into your life? Nugget is waiting to meet you and start a new chapter filled with love and laughter. Could your home be the perfect place for this handsome fellow? Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Nugget and his unique story!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
