About Nova

Nova and her siblings were found abandoned in an apartment after their tenant moved out. It's a rough start for these kittens. Initially frightened when they arrived at the shelter, Nova has spent time in foster care and is now back, ready to find her forever home. This sweet girl is a bit of a wallflower. While she will tolerate petting, she prefers to observe from the safety of her kennel or a cozy hidey box. Approaching her usually results in a gentle retreat; she often melts into a puddle, hoping to blend in and go unnoticed. However, she's more confident if you bring food. She adores watching the world go by and enjoys playing with toys, especially when she feels a bit of distance. Nova also appreciates the companionship of other cats, making her ideal for a multi-pet home. She seeks a special family who will provide love on her own terms.
