About Nemo

Nemo is a loving senior cat looking for a new home after being returned to the sanctuary when his owner passed away. At 12 years old, this affectionate boy has been well-adjusted since coming back but truly misses the warmth of a family. Nemo is a diabetic cat who requires twice-daily insulin injections, but he is very manageable during his care, remaining calm for both his needles and glucose tests. His sweet demeanor makes him a delightful companion, and he loves to eat and cuddle. This loving senior is also neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Don't let his diabetes deter you; our vet tech will provide you with all the necessary training and support. If you open your heart and home to Nemo, you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Nemo gets along well with other cats, so he would fit into a multi-pet household seamlessly. Ready to meet Nemo? Apply to adopt today!
