About Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the smallest of her litter, but don't let her size fool you; she's a little powerhouse. She plays fiercely with her brothers, proving she's not one to back down. Nutmeg melts hearts with her love for human cuddles. Her stunning tortie coat features unique asymmetrical patterns on her back paws, making her incredibly charming. Nutmeg is up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming. Although she hasn't been spayed yet, it's essential that all our animals are fixed. Therefore, we ask for a $100 refundable deposit to schedule her surgery. Once it's done, you'll get your deposit back. Currently, Nutmeg is at our Heartland Facility in Wheeling. Feel free to visit during our open hours—Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm, or Sunday Noon-6pm—to meet her in person. No appointment is necessary.
