About this Cat
Nelly was a stray fending for herself outside after reportedly being put out by her original owners. She was not faring well at all and it was about to get very cold. She was thin, her coat looked awful, and she was reportedly begging to get inside of homes in the neighborhood. One of our fosters knew she needed help and offered to foster her if we took her into our rescue. Of course we said yes! Nelly is very affectionate but quirky in how she accepts attention from humans. We aren't sure if she was undersocialized in her early months, if she is traumatized from her time living outdoors, and/or if humans mistreated her prior to now but she can be a bit leery of hands even though she rubs all over you wanting love. Initially she would nip at her foster mom somewhat unexpectedly sometimes when she was touched even though she was acting like she wanted to be pet. After about 2 months in her foster home, her quirky behaviors have dramatically decreased overtime but she may need an acclimation period in her new home when she gets adopted as well. She is in a foster home with other cats and does well with them. There are also dogs in her foster home and initially she was quite scared of them but she has adjusted to them well after slow introductions were done. We are recommending a home without small children for her. Nelly loves meat tubes so she's requesting a family who will continue to give those to her! Her adoption fee is $100 and you can apply to adopt on our website.

Adopt Nelly and Receive Nelly's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Nelly's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Nelly's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Nelly, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Nelly's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Nelly was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Nelly’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Nelly’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Nelly’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
