Nelson's Story

Hi, I'm Nelson! I'm a sweet, gentle black cat with a big heart and an even bigger love for treats. I'm bonded with my brother Oliver, and we are truly inseparable. We do everything together, from playing and napping to exploring new spaces. A little about me... I'm a playful and curious cat who loves toys, especially catnip mice. I have a funny habit of washing my toy mice in the water bowl before playing with them again. I also enjoy watching TV or videos on your phone and will happily sit nearby while you scroll. I can be a little shy at first, and small noises sometimes startle me, but I warm up quickly in a calm and quiet environment. Once I feel safe, I'm incredibly affectionate and gentle. I've never bitten or scratched anyone, and I love having my head, back, and belly rubbed. I'll even give you kisses to say thank you. Churu sticks and any kind of treat are my weakness, and I love to curl up on your lap, usually half on and half off, for some cuddle time. If you think you can give Oliver and me a loving home to call our own, fill out an application. We'd love to meet you!
