Nemo

Nemo is a sweet, quirky boy who knows what he likes: a comfortable place to nap, a person of his own, and—most importantly—an uninterrupted supply of running faucet water.

Before coming to Revelation Gardens, Nemo belonged to someone he loved deeply. When his owner passed away, Nemo lost his person and the life he knew. He was placed with a family member, but the arrangement didn’t work out, and eventually his owner’s wife contacted us. She drove Nemo all the way from Maryland to Revelation Gardens, where he could have the time and space he needed to grieve and adjust.

And grieve he did. Nemo missed his daddy terribly.

When he first arrived, he kept his distance and wasn’t always receptive to affection. If someone crossed a boundary, Nemo had no trouble communicating his displeasure—occasionally with a well-placed slap.

Over time, we’ve watched him begin to come back to himself. He’s happier, more comfortable and increasingly affectionate, although he’s still a cat who appreciates having his boundaries respected.

Nemo is healthy, neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He would love a quieter home with someone who understands that trust may take a little time—and who would give him the chance to have his own person again .

A willingness to leave the faucet running now and then would probably earn you bonus points.

Could you be Nemo’s person this time around? Come spend some time with him and let him decide.
