Nigel - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Trenton, New Jersey

Bite hold 10/2-10/11/26Meet Nigel: The Gray Gentleman with Plenty to Say

Nigel is a handsome, solid gray boy of about two years old, and he has never met a stranger he didn't like. He wandered into one of our traps during a TNR project in Trenton, hungry and clearly used to people. Someone had cared for him once, and then left him to fend for himself. Nigel doesn’t hold a grudge. He’s affectionate, social, and happy to be around his people.

He’s also a talker. Nigel will tell you about his day, his opinions on dinner, and exactly where he’d like to be petted. If you enjoy a cat who keeps up his end of the conversation, you two will get along.

At two, Nigel is a young cat with a lot of energy and still learning his manners. He loves to play, and he plays enthusiastically, sometimes using his mouth. He’s never aggressive; he’s an excitable young cat who needs to learn what’s okay to chew on. He needs an adopter who will:

Offer lots of interactive play (wand toys, chasers, puzzle feeders) to burn off energy
Redirect mouthy moments to toys instead of hands or feet
Be patient and consistent while he learns

A home with another playful, confident cat could be a great fit, since a furry playmate would give him an outlet for all that energy. He’d thrive in an active household where someone is around to play with him every day.

If you’re looking for a loving, chatty, fun-loving companion and are ready to help a young cat grow into his best self, Nigel is waiting to meet you.

If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon. All our cats are neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped prior to adoption. Thanks for opting to adopt!
