About Nemo (with Kiki)
Nemo is a shy, independent little kitten who is still learning how to trust the world around him. He prefers quiet environments, gentle people, and plenty of space to observe things at his own pace. He isn’t a snuggly kitten, but he shows his comfort in subtle ways — staying nearby, watching curiously, and slowly building trust with the people he feels safe with.
Nemo is especially timid and relies heavily on Kiki for confidence and reassurance. He loves curling up beside her, following her lead, and sleeping with her for comfort. A home willing to adopt both Nemo and Kiki together would give him the best chance to truly thrive.
