About Nova

Nova is currently in a foster home, growing big and strong. She’s an independent kitten who loves to explore her surroundings. Though Nova enjoys her human's company, she often prefers to sleep beside them rather than on their lap. A cheek rub might start off as a cozy moment, but she might decide it’s playtime instead! This playful little one loves toys that she can chase and bat around. You can pre-adopt Nova with a $50 choice hold fee, which guarantees you the first chance to adopt her once she’s ready to go home—expected by mid-November. After that, adoptions will be at the shelter without a visit, as frequent trips can stress her out. Nova is eager to meet her forever family, so get in touch with the shelter soon to reserve your chance!

Adoption Fee

Inquire directly with rescue.

Adoption fees can usually be paid via credit card, or other convenient methods. Please check with the shelter for specific payment methods.
