Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nibby is a sweet girl with a sad story. Her approximate date of birth is January 2007. She is front declawed and very scared. She belonged to an elderly person who passed away. She and her owner were the only two in the household, no other people or pets. After her owner passed away, she was left alone at the home. Family members came back to feed her but after a short while, they took her to her vet and never came back to get her. The vet contacted us and asked us to find her a new home. She had already been spayed and front declawed. We got her updated on her vaccinations and microchipped. She has been pretty grumpy growly and very stressed. She is afraid of the other cats at her foster home so she has gone to another foster home where she has become accostomed to being with 2 other cats that don't bother her. We have not tried her with dogs because we don't want to further traumatize her. She was adopted in February 2011, but returned 6 weeks later. She was in a home with an elderly woman and doing well but when Nibby settled in and decided she was queen bee, she bit the lady when she startled her. We are hoping that we will be able to find the perfect new home for her--a single, settled person or possibly a couple that has a very quiet household, with either no other pets or perhaps only one or two other pets who are very docile and who doesn't have a lot of things going on all the time. And one who is willing to be firm with Nibby and not let her take over! When she is held, she relaxes and settles in. She really does love attention...she is just too scared to show it at first. Because she does bite, we recommend no children. Could you be the right one to give her another chance? We hope so!
