About Nutmeg

Meet Nutmeg, a bright and loving kitten born in August 2025—she’s a cuddler through and through, already mastering the art of being a lap cat. This young domestic shorthair has a playful streak, but she shines brightest when she’s snuggled up close, nestling her head under your chin for comfort. Nutmeg’s favorite things are simple: playtime, a good meal, and the company of people and other friendly animals. She gets along well with dogs and needs at least one kitty companion in her new home—a feline sibling helps her learn and thrive. If you’ve been considering a pair, Nutmeg’s sisters Spicy and Cinnamon could join her as built-in best friends. This little tabby is looking for her forever family, somewhere she’ll be spoiled and cherished for the affectionate sweetheart she is. She’s being fostered in Riverside, but hopes for an adoptive (or foster) spot closer to Los Angeles. If you want a Taurus kitten who will return every kindness with steady purrs, Nutmeg could be the one you’ve been waiting for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
