Story
Romina is a timid but lovable cat who prefers quiet corners and cozy hiding spots. She startles easily at loud noises but adores gentle chin scratches from those she trusts. She finds comfort in sunlit windows, soft blankets, and the occasional playful chase with her favorite toy. With patience and kindness, Romina slowly reveals her sweet and affectionate nature, proving that even the shyest cats have the biggest hearts.

Story
Guayaba is the epitome of "Cat"~ she plays by her own rules and is o.k. with it !! Sometimes she is extremely affectionate, other times shyer and prefers time to herself. She needs to be understood and find the perfect discerning cat owner, to appreciate that she's finicky and amazing.....just the way she is. Once placed in her forever home, Guayaba may show more sides to her complicated personality.

Story
Meet Silverio.This chunky boy is full of personality and a little bit of sass! Silverio has a gastrointestinal condition and requires a special hydrolyzed diet—but don’t worry, he’s so smart that he only eats his prescribed food, even if other options are available. He can be shy at first, likely due to his tummy issues, but once he trusts you, he craves love and attention. He may give small love bites when excited, but always with good intentions. Silverio needs an experienced owner who can respect his boundaries, but once you learn his favorite spots (cheeks, head, chin, and upper back—his belly is off-limits), he’ll happily relax and soak up your love. He’s an independent cat and would do best as a solo pet or in a home with just one or two other cats.Silverio is at our Punta Mita Location and can easily be flown to the nearest airport to YOU in the USA or Canada!He has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats
