Meet Nessie, a female domestic shorthair mix who is almost 3 years old and weighs in at a light 6 pounds. She has a coat of gray, tan and white fur and big eyes. Nessie is a bit on the shy side, so she will be looking for a family who can provide her with a calm and serene home as she acclimates to a new environment. It would be ideal for Nessie to go to a home where there is already a friendly cat ready to show her the ropes. Nessie loves treats and likes to play with toys. She gets a bit nervous around small humans, so she would prefer a home where all the people were at least 15 years old.
