Hi! My name is Nelson, and I’m a gentle, quiet, and loving boy looking for a very special home. I have a unique short coat that makes me extra special, and my friends think I may have some Egyptian Mau in my family tree! I may be a little more quiet than my best friend Manchita, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet personality shines through. I especially love spending time with Manchita, playing with string toys, and finding a cozy spot by the window where we can watch the world outside.

Manchita is my best friend and my big brother, and I really look up to him. We do just about everything together — we play together, nap together, and keep each other company. Our bond is incredibly special, and we’re looking for a family who will let us continue life side by side. We must be adopted together, because we’re happiest when we have each other!

Nelson is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained. Nelson’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Nelson and Manchita, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
