About Nessie

Nessie, the lone girl among her brothers, brings a lively spirit to her foster home. She holds her own during rambunctious wrestling matches but just as quickly turns into a sweetheart who loves to cuddle. This little adventurer has no fear when it comes to scaling the tallest cat trees, and she's always the first to demand attention the moment someone walks in. While she might sport a resting grumpy face, it's clear that her heart is full of love and personality. If you have a home filled with cat trees, plenty of toys—especially jingle bell balls and tiny mice—and you're looking for a lap cat to snuggle with after a long day, Nessie could be your perfect match. One note: she's a little wary of dogs, so a gentle introduction will be necessary if there are any furry canines in the household. Give her a chance and you won't regret it. What are you waiting for?
