Nico Domestic Short Hair Portland, OR

Hey Nico here! I'm a very special guy. I need a home that is very cat savvy and wanting to work with me as I have a sensitive disposition. I have unlimited energy to play and I love treats! I'm very friendly but sometimes I'm too friendly and get worked up. I have to walk directly near your legs and am super curious about anything you are doing. I seem fine with other cats. I can't have children in my home though due to my history.
In my previous home I bit and scratched pretty hard when I was overstimulated or freaked out by something. When I came to Animal Aid it took me many weeks of being in fight or flight mode to calm down (I always chose fight). With patience and anti-anxiety medication I am now in a place where I don't try to bite people. I get easily overstimulated with too much petting if I haven't had my daily medication yet so the people here are still cautious with me. But I've made incredible progress and I'm ready to try out a new home with a brave person. I'm looking for a foster-to-adopt home where I can test out if I'm ready to live with people again instead of being confined to one room in the shelter.
If you are up for a challenge and want a cat with a big personality I'm here waiting for a second chance!
My estimated birthdate is 8/1/2022.
