Approx. 1-year old Russian Blue Mix, Neutered Male, Shots, Microchipped
Ideal Placement: Very calm, loving home with an experienced cat person. Other cats ok.
Nimbus came to us quietlyâjust as he moves through the world. A silvery-gray cat with the stillness of a cloud and eyes full of unspoken stories, he spent his early days lingering near street corners and gutters, never quite belonging to the bustle around him. Even then, it was clear: Nimbus wasnât meant for the chaos of the outside world. He needed safety. He needed quiet.
At about one year old, Nimbus is one of the most mellow cats weâve ever encountered. His subdued nature has led us to believe he was either under-socialized as a kitten or may have experienced trauma early in life as a stray. Whatever his story, it has shaped him into an incredibly gentle and sensitive soul.
We brought Nimbus into the safety of Pookaâs Purrhouse just as coyote sightings were rising in the neighborhood. He didnât resist. He didnât panic. He simply accepted the change with the same calm acceptance that now defines his days indoors. From the start, Nimbus has been a soft, steady presence. Not shy in the fearful senseâjust deeply mellow. He rests in his upper perch on a warm heating pad, content to observe, not yet ready to engage.
Weâre giving him time. Time to feel safe. Time to remember what stillness without danger feels like. His current routine is slow and deliberate, and thatâs exactly what he needs. Heâs not yet ready for adoptionâbut when he is, we believe Nimbus will thrive in a peaceful, low-energy home with a gentle human and a quiet rhythm.
He currently shares space with Weasley, separated by a large indoor catio. There have been no signs of stress or territorial behavior from eitherâjust quiet coexistence. Itâs a promising sign that Nimbus may do well with another mellow feline companion in the future.
Nimbus is not the kind of cat who will jump into your arms or chase toys across the room. But if youâre someone who values the quiet presence of a companion who gently coexists with youâwho watches the world with soft eyes and asks nothing more than a safe, warm cornerâthen Nimbus may someday be your perfect match.
For now, we are simply honored to give him a place to restâand we honor his process, just as he is.
