Story
Meet Chanel (but she goes by Nelly) – Wall Survivor, Sass Queen, and Treat-Fueled Genius
Once upon a time, in the attic of a commercial building, a kitten named Channel was born into a world with zero knowledge of humans. Truly. She thought pigeons were the top of the food chain. Then, one day, at just 4 months old, she found herself literally stuck behind a wall. (Relatable metaphor, anyone?)
Thankfully, the humans came to her rescue.
At first, she was like, “No thank you, bipeds.” But after a 1-year intensive socialization program (with snacks), Nelly graduated with honors and is now ready to grace your home with her incredible presence.
Let’s set the record straight: Nelly is not your average cat. She’s a tiny comedic genius, a bit of a diva, and fully fluent in sass — but also incredibly loving in her own wonderfully weird way. She’s an affectionate, funny, ultra-soft sweetheart — with a few… personal boundaries (that we totally respect).
Let’s break it down:
Lap? No. Cuddles? Yes.?
Nelly does not jump onto your lap — she’s a classy girl — but if you pick her up for snuggle time, she melts into your arms like the perfect warm loaf. She purrs like a motorboat and becomes a floppy, plush cloud of purring joy. She knows humans need cuddles. She gets it.
Kisses? Surprisingly yes.
This girl has studied human behavior and figured out that forehead kisses = love. She now loves kisses (but, let’s be real, she prefers treats — she’s fluent in affection and bribery).
Communication queen.?
Nelly almost speaks human. She has two signature meows:
The “Hi I’m Cute, Gimme Snacks” meep.
The “Excuse me, I am done being snuggled now” high-pitched protest.
She’s a vibe.
Nelly doesn’t just nap — she poses. She’ll stretch out next to you like a flaky croissant, or curl into a window loaf with total elegance. She rubs against everything when happy, tail shaking like a feather duster. She’s got feelings and she shows them.
Treat obsessed
Her treat obsession is next-level. We're 90% sure she could be trained to solve puzzles, open cabinets, or even play the piano if you offered her a Churu. She’ll eat directly from your hand and look deeply into your soul while doing it.
Feather toy destroyer & scrunchy toy collector.
Plastic wrap? Scrunchy ball? Feather wand? She’s on it. She’s obsessed. We hide the plastic because she will absolutely try to steal it and sprint away like she just robbed a bank. She loves catnip toys too!
Cat lover.
Nelly adores other cats — they’ve always been her comfort zone. Initially she will make sure to establish that she is the queen of the house to all newcomers, but then she will quickly become friends.
Nelly is:
* 1.5 years young
* Spayed, healthy, and hilarious
* A feather toy assassin
* Obsessed with crinkly things and crunchy treats
* A master of non-verbal communication (but also... kinda verbal?)
* Not a lap cat — but a beside-you-at-all-times cat
* Great with other cats, especially if they appreciate her unique vibe
