My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nino is a charming 4-year-old boy who first came to us as a tiny kitten in 2021 and, after some life changes, returned to the shelter in December 2025. The transition was hard at first, but with time and patience, Nino has shown his true colors! He is a sweet, affectionate soul who loves to rub against you and be near his people. He’s playful, food motivated, and full of personality, enjoying love on his own terms and blossoming more each day. Curious about other cats and experienced living with one, Nino would do best in a home with older kids and gentle handling. With a little understanding, Nino is ready to fill a lucky home with warmth, love, and quiet companionship.
