Meet Nicholas — affectionately known as Fat Nick — our handsome, big-framed gentleman with the sweetest soul. At 6 years old and a solid 12 pounds of love, Nick is a little chubby… but mostly just a sturdy, cuddly boy with a striking black coat and the most adorable white tuft of fur on his chest. Nick’s story is one that tugs at your heart. After his beloved owner passed away, he found himself in a rural county shelter — scared, confused, and unsure of what his new world meant. Despite that loss and upheaval, Nick has remained incredibly gentle and loving. He’s ready to find a forever home where he can feel safe and cherished again. Nick is the definition of calm and comforting. He’s incredibly sweet, quiet, and gentle. His favorite hobbies include: * Sitting beside you on the couch * Cuddling up close during movie nights * Sleeping next to your pillow like your personal nighttime companion * Patiently modeling silly costumes for your photo ops (yes, he’s that easygoing!) * Eating while lying down Nick currently lives in a home with other cats and kittens and is very respectful of them. He’s not the rowdy, wrestle-all-day type — he prefers the quiet, peaceful life — but he coexists beautifully. He also lives with three dogs and does great with them. Zero aggression toward any animal or person — he’s truly a gentle soul. Because of his calm personality, he’d likely do best in a quieter home. Older children who understand how to be gentle would be wonderful companions. Very young, high-energy kiddos might be a bit overwhelming for this laid-back guy. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate, drama-free companion who will happily be your couch buddy and bedtime snuggler, Fat Nick might just be your perfect match. Big heart. Big frame. Even bigger love! Nicholas is fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, defleaed. He tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and Heartworms. He recently had bloodwork done and is in great health with no medical concerns. And here’s a fun bonus: Nick has no teeth — which means he’ll never need a dental cleaning! It doesn’t slow him down one bit, and he manages just fine. Interested in learning more about Nicholas?
