Meet Nellie

Nervous Nellie has been with SCAT since April 2025. It has taken her quite some time to learn that people can be trusted. She spent her first several months in care hidden away. Nellie has had several foster roommates who have helped to bring her out of her shell. She has gradually become more comfortable and confident with her fosters. She loves to be around other cats but can play a bit rough at times. Nellie enjoys playing interactively with a wand toy or on her own with other toys. She is an enthusiastic biscuit-maker but don't let her knead on you as her claws are sharp!
Nellie has learned to love pets and she now frequently seeks them out. It is important to pay attention while interacting with her though as she still occasionally gets nervous and will reach out with a swat if she feels uncomfortable. Pets are more successful if you let her come to your hand rather than reaching out for her.
