Cleo De Nile

Cleo De Nile has a name fit for royalty, a gorgeous black coat and one very reasonable request: please allow Her Majesty a little time to get to know you.

This beautiful fluffy girl might not be the first to rush over and demand attention, but there's something rather lovely about her quiet, gentle nature.

At three years old, Cleo is a sweet but slightly timid girl who's still finding her confidence in the shelter. New surroundings and unfamiliar faces can make her a little nervous, so she prefers to take things slowly. Despite feeling unsure at first, she's been gentle with the people caring for her and has shown that she can gradually relax once she's had a chance to settle. She just needs a little reassurance that everything is going to be okay.

Cleo would love a calm, comfortable home where she can enjoy life at her own pace. A cosy hiding spot, a predictable routine and someone who understands that trust takes time would be a wonderful start. Let her get comfortable, respect her space and allow her sweet personality to emerge naturally. Her new family will also need to keep up with some simple dental home care and regular vet checks to look after those pearly whites.

Every queen deserves a place where she feels safe, loved and completely at home. Cleo isn't asking for a palace, just a patient family willing to give this gorgeous little lady the chance to feel like herself again. And we think she'll be well worth getting to know.

We encourage you to come and meet Cleo De Nile at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible, as our cats cannot be placed on hold.
