Chatty-Catty, Regal Lady, Snuggle-Bug

Nottingham is a regal and mature lady who would love a home where she can relax all day and enjoy sitcoms with you. She is also a big chatterbox! Notti will have full-on conversations with you; she will always ask how your day was when you come home from work, and how you slept when you get up in the morning, and so on. She's a beautiful black and white tuxedo with an adorable white chin and big, expressive shining eyes that just beg you to pet her.

Sometimes, Nottingham will play with a mouse toy or play her version of tug-a-war with you. She likes to roll around in her bed with her mouse toy, kick it, and give it a piece of her mind!

To see more of her, check her out on Instagram! @feythefoster

Notti prefers peace and tranquility so can be startled by sudden loud noises; she's looking for a quiet home where she can make biscuits and receive all the chin scratches. She doesn't always want to cuddle, but when she does she's in it 110%! She likes head scratches and being talked to. She can be a bit timid but very easily warms up to new people if they have her favorite thing: treats! Notti cannot control herself when the Churus come out. In her excitement for Churus her head bobs up and down as she tries to lick it off your fingers.

Nottingham has mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) which is a neurological condition that causes her balance issues, meaning she's a wobbly girl! CH is non-progressive and not contagious and does not bother Notti at all. She walks like a spider and stands like a tent, which is super cute. Sometimes she'll flop over while walking but it does not seem to affect her. She was born like this and has been this way her whole life, so to Notti, this is perfectly normal! She will even use her wobbles to her advantage and flop next to you on the couch while being pet!

Nottingham would be best as the only cat in the house, but she can coexist peacefully with another easy-going cat. Her ideal home would be with loving adults and young adults who will be patient with her and respect her space. She gives clear signs when she is over being pet and people who respect those boundaries would be the perfect home for this senior kitty.

Nottingham's CH doesn't affect her life too much and she requires no special care for her CH. A soft bed, a couch to watch TV on, and a low entry litter box is all she needs - except for you!

Notti - who, by the way, isn't a bit naughty, as you can tell! - would love to find a loving forever home and tell you all her stories. This beautiful chatty girl would adore being your grandma kitty and spending her days with you.
