About Nova Home To

Nova is easy to fall for: affectionate, gentle, and never pushy with other cats. She soaks up a good petting session and greets everyone with friendliness. New toys spark her curiosity, but she's just as quick to sprawl out on something soft for a long nap. Nova handles vet visits like a champ and is current on all vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. She does best with scheduled feeding—she loves her food and can’t be free-fed. Right now, she’s nicely fit and healthy. Her vet recommended Hills C/D food to help her manage urinary health and stress, especially since changes at home have made her a little anxious. Otherwise, Nova is happy, well-mannered, and would fit right in as someone’s devoted companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
