This is the cat version of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. And it was love at first sight. He leaned enthusiastically into my hand, closing his eyes in bliss as I petted him. He then jumped down from his mezzanine ledge and leaned into my tummy as I petted his shoulders and cheeks, all the while making goo goo eyes at me. He jumped up back onto the ledge to sniff my forehead and my nose, then promptly lay down to solicit more petting. Nene is not a reserved snob. He seems to be the perfect match for those who like cuddling sessions. In fact, in his previous home, he liked cuddling with his human child brother, his cat brother, and his dog brother. Now I know what’s inside that big body of his: cuddles, cuddles and more cuddles. Come adopt Nene today, and start cuddling with the cat version of Dwayne Johnson.
A volunteer writes: This is a magnificent specimen of a cat. He is super friendly and has a wonderful face. He’s a chatty fellow who loves to interact with people. There was no one that he wasn’t happy to talk to. He would fit in with any family I feel as he likes tons of people around him. He’s a love bug. His former family said he loves to cuddle with the child he lived with, and the family dog. What a sociable kitty.
NENE looks confused after his owner left him at the shelter. He needs a new home asap.
