Nocciola

Nocciola (pronounced Nucholla), is the Italian word for hazelnut.

This Italian stallion has a past that will remain a mystery. All we know is that he arrived on a door step about 20km away from the closest house. And despite everyone's best efforts, no owner could be found for this handsome man.

Weighing in at a whopping 6.1kg, he is no little kitty.

This handsome man has a silky soft, dark chocolate brown coat and piercing green eyes.

He is quiet and friendly but very independent. Nocciola is litter trained, but prefers to go to the toilet outside, rather than use a littler box in the house. He also needs some outside time as he gets a bit stressed if he is locked in for too long. For this reason Nocciola will need a home with a cat proof backyard or an enclosed cat area.

Nocciola gets along ok with other cats and dog, as long as they're not too pushy with him and they let him have his space.
