Nikai

Nikai is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair who is available for adoption at the Atlanta Humane Society’s Mansell location. This tabbystriped, 2-year-old guy was originally adopted out when he was a kitten but came back when his owners had to move out of the country.

He was a bit shy when he first arrived, but he’s gaining more confidence day by day. Nikai doesn’t have much experience around other cats or dogs, but he’s completely litter box trained and dutifully uses a scratching post rather than digging his claws into furniture. He’s a bit on the independent side and will let you know when it’s an appropriate time for ear-scratching.

His previous owner said that he’d likely do best in a home without young children as he has a petting limit. Nikai is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and ready to meet you! Learn more about Nikai by visiting atlantahumane.org/cats or emailing adoptions@ atlantahumane.org.

Donna

Meet Donna! This 10-year-old sweetheart has had it rough. She was surrendered to the Atlanta Humane Society when her owner was moving and couldn’t take her along. She’s completely blind in one eye and was diagnosed with heartworm disease as well. Her underbite and blind eye don’t cause her any pain, and even though she has a bit of a unique look about her, Donna has unlimited love to give.

The Atlanta Humane Society will complete Donna’s heartworm treatment at no cost to her adopter. All she’s looking for is a comfortable bed to call her own and someone to scratch her favorite spot right behind her ears. She has lived with other dogs and kids before and they got along great, so we’d recommend bringing your family and current pets in to meet Donna to make sure everyone gets along.

She’s already housebroken, has great manners and is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. This low-key girl would love to find the perfect family and you can meet her at the Howell Mill location, 981 Howell Mill Road in Atlanta.
