About Nemo

Nemo is an exuberant and playful tuxedo cat with a heart of gold. When he’s not zipping around, he can be found enjoying TV time with his foster, often using her leg as a backrest. After an episode, he takes a well-deserved nap on the bed, and you're welcome to join him! Watch out—during treat time, he loves Churu and should ideally be seated on your lap to truly enjoy it. Cheek and chin scratches will get him purring, and he makes biscuits like a pro. Now around 6 months old, Nemo was rescued from a Brooklyn backyard alongside his littermates. Initially shy due to limited socialization, he has greatly thrived in foster care. With a little patience, he'll quickly warm up and delight you with his acrobatics as he plays with wand toys. Nemo thrived alongside his sister, playfully chasing and grooming her. He’s looking for a forever home where he can share his life with another cat or you can adopt him alongside another kitten. Nemo is a neutered male, FIV and FeLV negative, vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP, microchipped, and fully ready to join your family. Give him the loving home he deserves!
