About Nimbus

Nimbus was rescued after being found alone in the snow, cold, matted, and congested. He needs patience and understanding in his new home, as his first week will likely be spent hiding and cautiously observing his surroundings. Once Nimbus realizes he’s safe, he completely transforms into a true cuddle bug who loves being carried, curling up on your chest, and receiving—and giving—sweet kisses. He becomes incredibly affectionate and gentle, and wants nothing more than to feel secure and loved. A bonus: Nimbus adores other cats and thrives even more with a feline companion, so a household with a friendly cat will help him feel comfortable faster. This precious boy is waiting for someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace and discover just how loving and devoted he can be. Since Nimbus was born on January 15, he's a steadfast Capricorn—full of loyalty and quiet strength. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
