Niko: Velvet Panther Vibes & Gentle Soul <br/><br/>Hi... um, excuse me... I’m Niko. I might not burst into the room like my brother Max (he’s got the volume turned way up), but give me a little time and a lot of love, and you’ll see me start to shine. I’m a sleek little mini panther with big golden eyes, a gentle heart, and a sweet, shy spirit just waiting to blossom.<br/><br/>I’m the quieter half of our bonded pair, the yin to Max’s zoomy yang. Where he’s bold and chatty, I’m soft-spoken and thoughtful. I like to observe from a cozy corner, warm up at my own pace, and once I feel safe—watch out—I’m ready for head scritches, slow blinks, and deep purrs. I’m still building my confidence, but it’s clear I’ve got “future lap cat” written all over me.<br/><br/>My favorite hobbies include: scratching my cardboard pad with great flair, napping in sunbeams, and chasing Max down the hallway like a tiny panther on a mission. We wrestle, we zoom, we nap tangled up like a heart-shaped puddle of fur. Max makes me feel brave, and I keep him grounded. We’re a purrfect pair—and we need to stay together.<br/><br/>I don’t say much, but trust me—my snuggles speak volumes. With patience and kindness, I’ll show you my full self—sweet, silly, and fiercely loyal. Just promise you’ll bring Max too.<br/><br/>Please note:<br/>- Niko should be adopted with a littermate<br/>- Indoor only<br/><br/>For more information or to apply for Niko, please go to:<br/>https://www.givemesheltersf.org/adoption/cat.php?id=12281<br/><br/>[id=12281;ts=1765094424;src=pf]
