Rescued Cat Whose Elderly Owners Couldn't Take Care Of Anymore Is Looking For His Furrever Home
Cat owners have a tendency to name their feline friends after their favorite cartoon characters, vegetables, random objects, and even movie stars. Yet sometimes, these names aren't at all accurate representations of the cats themselves.
In June 2022, a five-year-old orange tabby cat was taken into the Winchester SPCA as an owner surrender. The stout male was healthy, well cared for, and loved, but his elderly owners decided they couldn't give their big buddy the life he deserved.
Nolan, as he's called now, originally came into the shelter with the name "Jaws," presumably an homage to the 1970s American thriller. However, since this cat is not like the movie's namesake great white shark whatsoever, the situation warranted a name change. Now, his name sounds like it fits his personality.

The former indoor-outdoor cat is a chill, loveable guy who just wants to be pet and loved on. That is until he's had his fair share of affection, and he'll start munching on your fingers. Not to worry, it's more playful nibbles than chomp.

Since Nolan is older, people may think he'll have a tough transition into his next home. This couldn't be further from the case, though.
This big guy is perfectly happy laying around and letting you go about your day or joining him or some quiet time and head scratches. He's calm, cool, and collected with the dozen or so felines chasing each other around the interaction room and when potential adopters spend time with him individually.

Nolan should be great with kids, other cats, and even by himself. Typically, Nolan likes to round out his day and find a place where he can lay and stretch his arms out to catch passersby for a quick pet. As it surprises many, his future cat parents may have to watch if they need to change his name again, to "claws."
