About Nyx (Domestic short hair) in Montello

Nyx is waiting for you at Little Orphan's Animal Rescue, Inc. in United States. This girl is really something special! She has the heart of a warrior as she battled (and won) FIP twice! She is now strong and healthy but still looking for her perfect home. Just look at that sweet round face and bright, beautiful eyes!! Please keep reading to see if NYX might be exactly who you need in your life, she truly deserves the best and we know her person will be totally worth waiting for. ***This kitty is an FIP Survivor. Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) was once 100% fatal, but now thanks to an amazing group of researchers this is changing. In 2023 about 80% of cats diagnosed and treated are being saved.

We believe some of this is due to FIP treatments (which while she was treated included a needle shot daily) so she may have some sensitivity on her back, Again, she will let you know when you are "doing it right". Because of this we think NYX's perfect fit would not include small children, not because she dislikes them, but just du
