Notes from Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF-IL)

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 quiet when we first meet, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet personality really shines through.

Unfortunately, Nelson was abandoned when his family moved away. Thankfully, a kind person brought him indoors and gave him the safe and loving environment he needed. He’s very happy to be safe inside and is now ready to find a forever home of his own.

Nelson loves playing with string toys and finding a cozy spot by the window where he can watch the world outside. He enjoys having a quiet, comfortable place to relax and would love a home where he can take his time settling in and show you what a wonderful companion he can be.

Nelson is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained. His adoption fee is $135.

If you are interested in meeting Nelson, 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.
