About Nikita

Nikita is currently in a loving foster home, waiting to meet her forever family. This beautiful chocolate tuxedo cat is estimated to be around 8 years old. She's incredibly sweet and enjoys weaving around your feet as you walk. When it's time for bed, she loves to cuddle up next to you and spoon—it's a charming sight. Having spent years outdoors raising her kittens, she’s finally found the comfort of a safe home. Nikita thrives on treats and is gradually learning to play both independently and with her foster. Catnip is her favorite, which has really helped her open up. She is affectionate but does not get along with other animals. Nikita is FIV positive but is very healthy and up to date on all vet care, including a recent dental cleaning. She does have some dietary needs due to chronic constipation, which require her to eat a specific diet, including wet food and a little Miralax. This lovely lady is house trained and ready to bring joy to your home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
