About Nessie

Nessie is a delightful two-month-old female kitten who has just joined us from a partner shelter after being found as a stray. She's still getting used to her new surroundings, so patience and training will be essential as she learns the ropes of living in a home. The first few months are crucial for establishing her confidence and comfort around people and other animals. By exposing Nessie to varied experiences—like different sounds, touches, and sights—you’ll help shape her into a well-adjusted adult cat. If you’re considering adopting Nessie, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our process operates on a first-come, best-match basis, so we can't hold animals. When you meet Nessie, we encourage all household members to attend to ensure she’s the right fit for your family. If all goes well, same-day adoptions are encouraged! The adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and a starter bag of food. Get ready to welcome a new friend into your life!
