Nakusp Domestic Short Hair Mix Abbotsford, BC

While Nakusp may be a bit hesitant at first when meeting new people, his curiosity and affectionate spirit shines through once he feels comfortable. He just needs a bit of time to settle into a new home situation.

This sweet boy has a gentle nature and a calm demeanor and just wants to love and be loved. Once he overcomes his nervousness and becomes comfortable with you, he will come and sit beside you and enjoys being petted. He reaches out and asks for attention at times, however it will likely take some time to get to the point where he'll crawl up into your lap. Socially, his interactions with his litter mates are respectful. He reads his siblings well, and most times will back off if they want to break away.

During the transition period in a new home, it'll be important to avoid placing him in 'too much handling, too soon' situations. Nakusp will benefit from the support of a confident sibling who he trusts and a cat-savvy, calm and understanding family. He would likely be best in a situation with no young children. As for matches with his siblings, Salmo, Tofino or possibly Clinton would also be a reasonable match for Nakusp. Kaslo and Nakusp do love each other but will need a family who are willing to give them a bit of time to settle in since they are both a bit shyer.
