My story

Named after the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Cat is 10 years old and 11 lbs. He's healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on shots. I adopted Cat at 12 weeks old from St. Francis Society. His foster found him under her porch, took him in and bottle-fed him until he was old enough to be adopted. Cat thrives on routine. He would do best in a home where he's the only pet and can have all the attention he needs. He has never been around kids before, so a home with small children might not be the best fit for him. Facts About Cat: - Food-motivated, always excited for meal times. - Loves to talk and will hold a conversation with you. - Does not like to be held or handled for too long, but he will follow you around, hang out with you, and let you know when he wants to be pet. He loves having his chin scratched! - Indoor-only cat, but loves going out on a screened-in patio! - Not a fan of the car or vet. - Loves to play, carry his toys around, and show off his "catch!" Cat Nikko's mother had to move the landlord would not allow him with her, and mom sadly surrendered him to CJPaws. Cat Nikko takes a little bit to warm up to people but when he does, he is friendly and likes being petted and played with. He loves his stuffed toys and dangling toys and loves to be brushed. He needs space at first and if people move too quickly with him, he will run and hide. Cat Nikko has only lived indoors and has never been around wildlife or dogs. He has lived with other cats and has been the more dominate one in the home with the other cats. He has never been around children and it is unknown how he reacts to them but is good with adults. When Cat Nikko goes to the vet, he has needed to be sedated before because of his anxiety when being handled for exams. Cat Nikko enjoys being scratched under the chin and hanging out on the screened-in porch to nature watch. He loves fabric toys and cardboard scratchers. *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals. It can take up to 24 hours to respond to your application and an additional 1-2 business days to have your application approved. Not all applications will be approved. Applications that are incomplete will not be approved. Please include all veterinary information, as we will be contacting your veterinarian. If you have never had a pet before and thus do not have an established vet either in the area or in an area you previously lived in, we recommend adopting from your local Animal Services. Our adoption fee covers spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, monthly flea medication while in our rescue, any medications while in our rescue, an FIV/FeLV test, and the unconditional love of your new family member. Our rescue does not continue to pay for flea medication, vaccinations, deworming, or any other medications after the animal is adopted. All costs and fees accrued after adoption are the responsibility of the new family.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nikko (fka Cat), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
