More about Nicholas

Meet Nicholas Nicholas—affectionately known as Nick—came to us from a heartbreaking situation. His elderly owner became overwhelmed caring for multiple cats and sadly passed away, leaving the kitties alone in the home for several days. When we rescued Nicholas, he was hungry, sickly, and unsure of the world around him.Because Nick didn’t receive consistent care or socialization early on, he’s still learning how to trust people and build confidence. He’s a very sweet boy at heart—just timid and nervous at times. He’s not aggressive in any way; he simply needs patience, gentleness, and time to feel safe.The beautiful thing about Nicholas is that he wants to trust. He’s already learning that humans can be kind, that pets feel good, and that love isn’t something to fear. As he begins to blossom, his true personality starts to shine—soft, gentle, and quietly affectionate once he knows you’re safe.Nick takes a lot of comfort from other cats and truly thrives when he has a friendly, confident feline companion to show him the ropes. For that reason, he must go to a home with another calm, social kitty. He would do best in a quiet household without young children or large dogs.If you’re the kind of person who understands that the most rewarding bonds take time—and you have the patience and heart to help a shy soul continue to bloom—Nicholas just might be your perfect match.
