Nelly is a sweet, shy little soul with a heart full of love. She prefers cozy corners and quiet moments, often found curled up in a sunny spot or watching the world from behind the curtains. Though she may be timid at first, once she trusts you, her gentle purrs and soft head nudges will melt your heart. She prefers a calm home where she is the solo star as she is not fond of sharing the spotlight! With her loving personality and independent streak, Nelly is the perfect companion for someone who appreciates calm, patience, and quiet cuddles.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
