About Nugget

Nugget is a lovely gray and white cat with striking green eyes. She came to the shelter in February 2020 after being live-trapped in the area. Shy by nature, Nugget isn’t fond of being petted in the shelter, but she's gradually learning to trust people through positive interactions. She has a special bond with her friend Arden, and they must be adopted together. This playful duo enjoys chasing bouncy balls and feathers but absolutely goes wild for a laser light. Be sure to provide them with a mix of tangible toys to keep frustration at bay. Nugget and Arden do best with a calm, patient caregiver who understands that trust takes time. Once they feel secure, their true personalities begin to emerge. A home without young children would be ideal since they dislike being held. If you're ready to welcome this shy pair and help them thrive, the shelter will offer guidance to ensure a smooth transition. To meet Nugget and Arden, visit them at the Alaska Humane Society. They can't wait to find their forever home!
