Nizmo's Story
This pet is available only through ACC New Hope partners. To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response.<br/>Pre-Screener Form<br/><br/>Meet Nizmo!<br/>Nizmo is a young adult cat who came to us after his owner was forced to relocate to housing that does not allow pets. He previously lived indoors with adults and other cats and was described as a quiet, low-key companion who preferred lounging nearby and observing his surroundings. Since arriving at the Care Center, Nizmo has been struggling with the shelter environment and is showing signs of fear and stress that are not uncommon for sensitive cats in a noisy, unfamiliar setting.<br/><br/>My Ideal Home<br/>Nizmo is looking for a calm, adult-only home with experienced cat guardians who understand that some cats need time, space, and patience to feel safe. A predictable routine, quiet environment, and allowing him to set the pace for interactions will be key to helping him decompress and show his true personality. Based on reports from his previous home, once settled he has the potential to be a relaxed, couch-potato type companion.<br/><br/>Good with Kids?<br/>Nizmo is recommended for an adult-only home. He can become overwhelmed when he feels pressured and will do best without the unpredictability of children.<br/><br/>Good with Other Pets?<br/>Nizmo previously lived with other cats and may be able to do well with a calm, respectful feline companion, given slow and thoughtful introductions. He has no known experience living with dogs.<br/><br/>Overall Health<br/>Nizmo has been examined by our veterinary team and appears healthy overall. He is neutered and up to date on his core care.<br/><br/>Behavior Determination<br/>Level 4 - Nizmo is exhibiting fear-based behaviors in the shelter, including growling, hissing, and swatting when he feels threatened. These behaviors are believed to be shelter-related, as his previous owner described him as calm and easygoing in a home environment. He will need patient, cat-savvy adopters who are comfortable working with a fearful cat as he adjusts.<br/><br/>Other Fun Facts<br/>In his previous home, Nizmo enjoyed interactive play, liked to chase and pounce on toys, and was even known to play a bit of fetch. While he may not show these sides of himself right away, with time and understanding, Nizmo has the potential to become a quiet, loyal companion who enjoys simply being near his people.<br/> Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 10.34375lbs Age: 1yrs 0mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered
