Meet Nova, a five-month-old orange and white boy who is truly "out of this world." He's got a bit of an independent streak and is perfectly happy to launch into his own solo missions, exploring every nook and cranny of his environment. But don't let his explorer side fool you--he frequently "gravitates" toward his roommates for some serious cuddle time. Whether he's off on a solo trek or tucked into a kitten pile, Nova is a bright light who brings a wonderful balance of curiosity and sweetness to the room. Because he thrives on that social connection, Nova is looking for a home where he can stay in orbit with a sibling or join a household with another young, playful cat. We're big fans of kittens growing up in pairs because it's a total game-changer for their development. Having a co-pilot helps them burn off that cosmic kitten energy and teaches them cat manners, like how to play gently. For a human family, this means your kitten always has a friend to keep them occupied, leading to a much more grounded and happy adult cat. Nova's adaptable personality makes him a great candidate for a home with a cat-friendly dog, and he'd be a stellar match for families with kids 5 and older who can be gentle with a young kitty. If you're looking for a companion who is equal parts brave adventurer and cozy snuggler, Nova is ready to make your home his new universe! His adoption fee is $250. *To visit our cats, you must make an appointment on-line at www.caringforcatsmn.org/adopt.* Note: While we are happy to respond to your questions about any of our cats, you will still be required to make an on-line appointment at www.caringforcatsmn.org/adopt if you wish to meet our cats.
