Foster cat`s bio for their adoption profile: Nervous Nellie has been a foster with SCAT since April 2025. It has taken her quite some time to learn that people can be trusted. She spent her first several months in care hidden away. Nellie has had several foster roommates who have helped to bring her out of her shell. She has gradually become more comfortable and confident with her fosters. She loves to be around other cats but can play a bit rough at times. Nellie enjoys playing interactively with a wand toy or on her own with other toys. She is an enthusiastic biscuit-maker but don`t let her knead on you as her claws are sharp!
Nellie has learned to love pets and she now frequently seeks them out. It is important to pay attention while interacting with her though as she still occasionally gets nervous and will reach out with a swat if she feels uncomfortable. Pets are more successful if you let her come to your hand rather than reaching out for her.

Any special needs or traits the adopter should know about? (we may add this to the bio): Nervous Nellie has graduated from the in-progress list to the adoptable list, but she will require a special adopter who is willing to work slowly to build a relationship with her. Patience and careful attention will be required, understanding that swats are likely to still happen.

More about this rescue

Since 1996 SCAT Street Cat Rescue's prime focus has been feral cats because of the limited options available for them. TNR is a successful option instead of the traditional trap and kill. The majority of the cats rescued by SCAT, however, are socialized and available for adoption. As the city grows, so to does the need for our services. Adopt, Donate, Volunteer, TODAY!
