About Nellie

Meet Nellie! This charming girl has a heartwarming backstory, having been rescued with her siblings from a deep storm drain when they were just six weeks old. After being saved just in time, they’ve been adjusting to the comforts of indoor life. Nellie is sweet and a bit shy, but once she gets to know you, she becomes a purring machine who loves attention and pets. She enjoys cuddling up beside you or curling on your legs for warmth. After playtime, she settles in for a long nap before a snack and right back to the fun. It’s important to note that Nellie must be adopted with her sister, Sadie. These two complement each other’s personalities perfectly. They’re really a team! If you’re interested in welcoming them into your home, please apply through our website. **All applicants must live within a reasonable driving distance of Bethel, CT (PA, NY, MA, NJ, MD). We have an amazing transporter who brings adopted kitties north on a monthly basis, often directly to your home!**
