About Nutmeg

Nutmeg and her sister Cinnamon are here to add a touch of joy to your life! Born in April 2023, these young black cats share a special bond and must be adopted together. While they might be a bit skittish at first, they've shown tremendous progress at our sanctuary. Cinnamon tends to be more outgoing and enjoys being petted once she feels secure. Nutmeg is a bit more reserved, still learning to trust humans, but has great potential to blossom in a loving home. If you're patient and caring, you could provide them the loving environment they deserve. Ready to give them the perfect home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
