Story
Nick loves to cuddle and be loved. He is very nervous because his bigger brothers pick on him. Except for his big brother Sunny who is his best friend and protects him from the others. When he wrestles he uses yelling to surprise and get the upper hand. He is genuinely one of the sweetest cats I've even had the chance to know.l and all I want is for him to have a forever home where he is loved. His mom had 7 baby boys and I have been absolutely overwhelmed trying to hold everything together. My worst nightmare is sending him to foster care and him being put down somehow. My ideal home would take both him and his brother Sunny together so they can continue to be lifelong best friends. He loves to chew and play with thin foil toys. He loves playing with laser pointers. If you make a sharp whistle he will come running to your feet. He hates baths and loves his mama. He has an opinion about most things and loves to share it.

Story
Sunny was the biggest and smartest of his litter of seven boys. He was born October 2022. He is picky with his love and once he knows he is loved he will press into you and love on you harder than any other cat you will meet. His best friend is his brother Nickolas whom he defends and loves nonstop. Sunny likes to play with chase toys and loves to be pet and loved on. He is an ABSOLUTE mama's boy and stays close to his mom (Emma) as much as possible. He is very proud and knows what he deserves and isn't afraid to avoid anything else. All I want is for him to have a forever home where he is loved. His mom had 7 baby boys and I have been absolutely overwhelmed trying to hold everything together. My worst nightmare is sending him to foster care and him being put down somehow. My ideal home would take both him and his brother Nick together so they can continue to be lifelong best friends.
