Nicki is a tiny tortie masterpiece painted in swirls of amber, chocolate, and gold. At 2 months old, she carries the quiet poetry of her colors—soft, subtle, and full of mystery. Her wide, wondering eyes take in the world with both caution and curiosity: she may tuck herself away at first, like a secret waiting to be discovered, but with patience and kindness, she begins to unfurl—revealing the sweetness hidden beneath her timid shell. Once she feels safe, her affection is as warm as the pumpkin spice autumn tones in her coat. We are open to walk-in adopters Monday-Saturday 11am-4:30pm and Nicki goes home spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped!
