My story

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

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step.



Meet Nova,

Nova is a sweet, male cat that is on the shy side.  He was found living in a culvert under a good Samaritan's driveway for over a year.  The family is pretty sure he was dumped there or the prior homeowners left him behind.  The family fed the cat for months before finally trapping him and taking him in when the weather started getting cold a few weeks ago.  No one stepped up to claim him so he is now available for adoption.  He is the sweetest boy but is very shy.  He will need a quiet home where he can decompress and learn that living inside is a good thing.  He does not have any aggression and will allow petting but is nervous while he is receiving pets and love.  We believe he lived in a home once but has been outside for at least a year that now indoor living is still a little scary.  We are not sure at this time if he could live with other cats or dogs so we are looking for a quiet home with no other pets and no young kids to help with his transition.  Does your home seem like the perfect home that Nova so desperately deserves?  Apply for Nova today to get him his perfect, forever home!
