Story
My name is Nero's Twin and I was born 3/1/23 and haven't had much interaction with humans prior to entering the rescue. I am learning, and come out for quiet, treat time. I am beautiful, with a coat like no other, long muzzle and striking pattern. I will need patience and lots of TLC to adjust to human contact and become a housecat.
I am a hider when it comes to humans, sometimes giving a quick, gentle hiss letting you know I'm nervous, before going to a comforting, quiet hiding spot.
Although I am part Maine Coon, I'm human dependent for food and INSIDE shelter. Although I've been outside, I MUST be a housecat due to my thick, long coat, inability to hunt and survive outside on my own, and skittish ways.
**If you are considering adopting me because of my breed, please know it can take up to 6 months for me to get comfortable in a quiet home. I may never be a lap cat, but more of a night crawler who comes out at night while I adjust. If a social lap cat is your goal, I might not be the right fit. I also might surprise you in time and come out more with calm energy, lots of safe hiding spots, and the ability to come along at my own pace.
We are a Christian-based organization with a Mission to improve the lives of cats. We specialize in cats that will bond closely, but would otherwise 'age out on the shelf' because they are shy, or need special understanding. Without it, they would never know the love, safety, and comfort of a furever home.
*Please do not adopt if you believe in disciplining a cat, including ‘water bottle training’. We are a behavioral rescue and believe in positive redirection to adjust behavior, rather than punishment with cats.*
