MEET OUR GENTLE giant, Nibbles. A sweet and handsome Abyssinian who has been waiting to meet his forever family since August. He is a mellow boy and loves his quiet time—let’s face it, what cat doesn’t? Nibbles is a friend to all and especially to those with wet-food.He keeps a watchful eye on the other cats and kittens in the center but would really like to get away from it all and go #HomeForTheHolidays. His owner who originally adopted him from Town Cats of Morgan Hill surrendered him because she was unable to care for him any longer. If you have room in your heart and a quiet space in your home for him to chill and be the cool cat that he is, come meet him at Pet Food Express on Blossom Hill in San Jose on weekends from 1-5 p.m. or contact Sarah at [email protected] or Denise at (408)410-5268 to make an appointment to meet Mr. Nibbles.
