Nico was found quietly waiting for help in the back alley of a Los Angeles home - and it was immediately clear that this gentle boy was never meant to live outdoors. From the moment he stepped inside, he embraced indoor life as though he’d been waiting for it all along. The rest is history. Nico has since received a full veterinary evaluation (including a professional teeth cleaning) and is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. He is FIV positive, but currently lives peacefully with an FIV-negative cat - proof that with proper introductions, FIV cats can coexist safely and harmoniously. Nico doesn’t have a single aggressive bone in his body. He’s very affectionate and endlessly devoted. He thrives around other cats and is the ultimate “Velcro cat” - the kind who follows his person from room to room, always wanting to be near. Whether you’re working, watching TV, or just moving about the house, expect a soft gray shadow at your side. He’s also very food-motivated (but not picky), which makes mealtime easy and predictable. He loves to play, climb, and perch - high spaces bring him joy, so a cat tree or elevated shelves would make him very happy. Nico has impeccable manners — he’s never scratched furniture and prefers toys to anything else. What he truly wants most is connection: to be close, to be loved, and to be part of a kind household where he can give back all the affection he has to offer. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will fill your home with warmth and devotion, Nico might just be your perfect match. Please contact the foster at for.kate.efremova@gmail.com
