My story

Niko: Velvet Panther Vibes & Gentle Soul Hi… um, excuse me… I’m Niko. I might not burst into the room like my brother Max (he’s got the volume turned way up), but give me a little time and a lot of love, and you’ll see me start to shine. I’m a sleek little mini panther with big golden eyes, a gentle heart, and a sweet, shy spirit just waiting to blossom. I’m the quieter half of our bonded pair, the yin to Max’s zoomy yang. Where he’s bold and chatty, I’m soft-spoken and thoughtful. I like to observe from a cozy corner, warm up at my own pace, and once I feel safe—watch out—I’m ready for head scritches, slow blinks, and deep purrs. I’m still building my confidence, but it’s clear I’ve got “future lap cat” written all over me. My favorite hobbies include: scratching my cardboard pad with great flair, napping in sunbeams, and chasing Max down the hallway like a tiny panther on a mission. We wrestle, we zoom, we nap tangled up like a heart-shaped puddle of fur. Max makes me feel brave, and I keep him grounded. We’re a purrfect pair—and we need to stay together. I don’t say much, but trust me—my snuggles speak volumes. With patience and kindness, I’ll show you my full self—sweet, silly, and fiercely loyal. Just promise you’ll bring Max too.
