Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Looking for a snuggly and playful new addition to your family? Look no further! Niko is a 2 1/2 year old male who would love to spend his days purring in your lap, chasing a laser dot around the house, and cuddling up next to you while you read or sleep. He is great with kids, and he doesn't mind being manhandled or held. He is curious, talkative, and loves to observe what you are up to - he especially enjoys sitting on his kitchen perch and watching you cook. Sometimes, he is even too smart for his own good - he learned how to open several of the doors in our home! He needs lots of love and attention in order to thrive. When he doesn't get enough attention or snuggles, he gets anxious, and he expresses his anxiety by overgrooming the fur on his belly. Consequently, he has some bald spots on his tummy! He is really a neat cat though, and with lots of love he will thrive. His current family loves him dearly but is expecting a baby soon and cannot continue to care for him.
