About Nikko

Nikko gets excited over foil balls, catnip toys, and especially his turbo scratcher. Around dogs, Nikko keeps his cool. He seems comfortable and adaptable provided introductions are slow and steady. He does best as an only cat or with a calm feline roommate who doesn’t crowd his space.
