About Nelly

This very sweet and rare orange female was rescued from an outside hoarding situation where she lived with approx. 50 other cats. She has special needs and is looking for her forever home. She has been diagnosed with heart disease and kidney disease, but that doesn't slow her down. She loves to chase her toys all over the room and loves to be pet, rolls over for belly rubs and purrs a lot. She is shy at first and would not do well with young children or a noisy environment, but she loves to play, run and chase balls and little catnip toys, and then nap on her pillow. She enjoys sitting up high on her cat post and going out in her enclosed catio. She can get jealous and a littly bossy with other cats and is absolutely terrified of dogs, so she would do best with no other pets. Nelly is fully vaccinated and spayed, dewormed and microchipped and appears that she may have some Persian genes by the shape of her face. She is currently on a special diet for her health and is doing great. This special little kitty is looking for her forever home where she will be loved and spoiled. If you have a soft spot for special needs kitties that deserve to have a happy life, she is your girl. Her adoption fee has been reduced to $100.
