About Nellie

Nellie is a gentle soul who values calm, easy company over cuddles and chaos. She prefers to keep things low-key, quietly sharing your space while you read or work, and she’ll happily curl up at your feet or by your side for a bit of affection. Loud noises and busy environments aren’t her thing, but she melts for gentle pets and, at night, she’ll quietly snuggle up in bed. Toys offer her moments of brightness—she’s especially fond of tossing her stuffed mouse around, stalking feather wands, and chasing anything on a string. If she wants your attention, she might gift you a tiny, soft squeak. Nellie lives with stomatitis, an inflammatory condition managed by medication and a wet food diet. Her care needs are straightforward but essential, and she’ll do best in a stable, adults-only or older kids home where her boundaries and medical routine will be respected. No other cats, dogs, or young children for Nellie—she enjoys quiet and one-on-one companionship. Her tabby markings, wide eyes, and sweet face make her stand out, but it’s her peaceful presence and gentle nature that linger with you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
