Meet Nugget

Meet Nugget! A dashing four-year-old Domestic Short Hair from Roseville, CA, whose sleek black coat and mesmerizing green eyes make him a true heart-stealer. This medium-sized gentleman, weighing in at a healthy 15 pounds, is the perfect mix of spunky and sweet, with a touch of sass that will keep you endlessly entertained! Nugget is a playful spirit with a love for laser pointers, teaser wands, and anything infused with catnip. When he's not showing off his hunting skills during playtime, you'll find him perched by a window, chattering at birds or soaking up the sights of the world outside. He’s even harness-trained for outdoor adventures—though he’s still working on mastering his confidence. Nugget also adores watching “Cat TV” (squirrel and bird videos are his favorite) and relaxing to calming feline music. At the heart of Nugget’s charm is his affection. When he’s ready for love, he’ll pad over, climb onto your chest, and settle in for snuggles. During these moments, chin and ear scratches are mandatory, and if you’ve got a soft blanket nearby, he’ll reward you with the cutest biscuit-making performance! Nugget even enjoys being held like a baby—talk about a cuddle pro! While Nugget thrives on human companionship, he prefers a single-cat home where he can embrace his “bachelor lifestyle.” He’s lived harmoniously with a dog in the past, so canine friends might be a welcome possibility. Nugget is microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. However, he has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which requires a prescription diet and daily medication (happily taken in salmon-flavored Pill Pockets!). His new caregiver will need to continue this regimen to keep him happy and healthy. Are you ready to welcome a charming, chatty, and snuggle-loving companion into your life? Nugget is waiting to meet you and start a new chapter filled with love and laughter. Could your home be the perfect place for this handsome fellow? Contact us at [email protected] to learn more about Nugget and his unique story!
