Nico’s Adoption Story

Nico is a rescue from Texas- he had been living out in the country after his abusive family had thrown him out. His leg had been horribly broken from a snap trap (which had to be amputated) and he is blind in one eye (result from abuse).  He has been adopted by an incredible family- who love him very much. The following is from Nico's family.....

"When we first brought Nico home, I was really worried about it being the right fit for him. He spent his first few days trying to make himself invisible, hiding in every little crevice he could find. He'd really only venture out at night and cry, or dart under tables and chairs for cover during the day when no one was looking. He was hesitant to accept pets, but it was obvious he was secretly longing for affection when he'd lean his entire little body into your hand for pets, even while hiding in fear. With time, patience, and a little encouragement from his two new kitty siblings Gemma and Loki, Nico very quickly began to come out of his shell and learned how to be a cat again. As soon as I realised he was comfortable with us, I knew he was staying forever - we couldn't put him through the stress of rehoming him again, and most importantly, we fell in love with him. 
He especially adores Gemma, who we often find grooming each other, and his disability doesn't slow him down in the slightest as he tears across the house after Gemma. When he isn't playing with his sister, he loves to toss around his favourite whale toy,or otherwise spends his days lounging around in whatever comfy human bed he chooses all to himself. He's practically a different cat than the one we first brought home, and the biggest snugglebug who absolutely loves kisses. I'm so glad we were able to welcome him into our family and give him another chance at life where he can be spoiled daily."
