My story

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

Hi… my name is Nicole 🖤
I’ve been waiting a long time to tell my story, and I’m really hoping it reaches the right human.

I came to this sanctuary many years ago as a feral kitty who didn’t like people at all. Before that, I was living on a sheep farm, unwanted, cold, afraid, and hungry. Life was hard, and trusting humans wasn’t something I knew how to do. But this sanctuary changed everything for me. They gave me safety, patience, love… and yes, lots of food (that part helped a lot).

It took a long time before I let anyone touch me. I needed time, understanding, and gentle hearts. And guess what? It worked. I’m now a very sweet girl who loves being petted. So much so that if you stop too soon, I might give you a gentle love tap to remind you that you’re definitely not done yet. 💕

I’m also a licker, if you sit with me long enough, I’ll give you a full bath until you’re nice and clean. I adore cozy beds, and if you spend enough quiet time with me, I may even hop right into your lap. Having my own human… my own bed… my own lap… that’s my dream.

New places can be scary for me, so my forever family will need to understand that I’ll probably hide at first. Please don’t take it personally, I just need time to adjust. Patience is how you win my heart.

A few more things about me:
• I’m all black with one white whisker (very fancy, I know).
• I wear a pink collar, so I’m easy to spot.
• I love lickable treats and will always find my way to them.
• Catnip makes me go absolutely wild.
• I get the zoomies and love to play.
• I adore other cats and would do best in a home with a feline friend.

I’m considered a special needs kitty because I have FIV, but it’s truly nothing to be afraid of. I’m happy, healthy, and recently had a dental, so my teeth are sparkling clean. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about FIV; I promise, I’m worth it.

If you think we might be meant for each other, you can come visit me any day between 1–5pm, even on holidays. I’ve waited a long time… and I can’t wait to finally have a home of my very own. 🖤

I have excellent litter box habits. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat.

I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV positive, FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our goal is to be a sanctuary for cats who are not adoptable and to find loving homes for those who are. We welcome you to visit our sanctuary to snuggle with our furballs. You may even end up going home with one...or two!!!

You always need to remember our cats come with baggage. Lots of them were treated badly by people and it has taken time for them to trust us. They may need to come out of their shells once you adopt them. You need to give them time to see you are not going to hurt them. We love our Furballs and want good homes for all of them. Please remember it is all about the cats for us.

We only adopt out our Furballs to people within 2-3 hours of our sanctuary because of the baggage they come with. This does not include some of the cats in foster care (contact their foster parents for more information).
