Meet one of our newest kitties...Nougat. She is a beautiful 2-year-old Tortoiseshell with a coat washed in a sea of chocolate brown, orange, tan, and black. Torties are known for their tortietude, however, Nougat doesn't possess any diva-like qualities. Instead, she has a mild temperament and a delightful disposition. Even when frightened, she has never hissed growled, or swatted once.
A couple of interesting facts about tortoiseshell cats: the most common coat style is mosaic — the traditional color combination mixed randomly. A chimera describes a tortoiseshell cat that is one color on one side of its body and a different color on the other side. It can happen on the face or throughout the entire body. Nougat has the more common mosaic pattern coat.
Nougat is a little shy but has begun to warm up to us and is enjoying the petting and back-scratching she has been receiving. She'll be a wonderful companion for someone special. She would prefer a household with older children. She gets along with the other cats in the rescue and is adjusting to our dogs.
If you are interested in meeting Nougat, contact us for a meet and greet.
