Neve (affectionately known as "Nevester") is a loyal companion who will never turn down a chin scratch! He is an affectionate kitty who loves pets, cheek scratches, and forehead kisses. He'll sleep right next to you at night and will make sure to always have a paw on you. He is a very polite kitty and likes to be invited up onto your couch or bed. As soon as he gets an invitation, he'll crawl right onto your lap or chest and purr away!
Neve is very loving and trusting of the people he bonds with, but is shy and takes time to warm up to new surroundings and humans. He is anxious with noises and guests, and likes having hiding spaces to retreat to. Neve would do best in a calm environment with someone willing to put some time into building trust with him. Once he trusts you, he is a super affectionate, loving kitty and will make you feel so special for being picked by him!
If you are interested in adopting Neve, please send an email to jenna.awlafoster@gmail.com to arrange a virtual meet and greet with the pet's foster parent. You should receive a reply within 24-48 hours.
