My Story
Meet Nelly, a magical mix of Professor McGonagall’s regal composure and Hermione Granger’s inquisitive charm. This fluffy girl has a personality as enchanting as a well-cast spell, and her stunning looks only add to her charm. With predominantly Persian genes, she boasts a multi-colored coat that’s delightfully wild and untamed in places—think Hermione’s iconic hair during her early Hogwarts years, with a touch of McGonagall’s polished elegance.
Nelly is affectionate, friendly, and loves attention once she feels at home. Much like Hermione’s boundless curiosity, she’s playful and enjoys batting around her favorite toys, especially those with wires, strings, or catnip mice. Her calm demeanor is paired with a sharp, observant nature, much like Professor McGonagall keeping a watchful eye over her students. When she purrs, it’s a deep and steady rumble, a sound as comforting as a warm butterbeer by the fire in the Gryffindor common room.
Her foster mom believes Nelly would make an exceptional “office assistant,” providing quiet companionship while you work, always ready to supervise and keep you company—perhaps like McGonagall ensuring the job gets done with a touch of discipline and charm. And when it’s time to unwind, she’ll happily curl up in your lap for a snuggle, offering unconditional love in return.
Nelly’s amber eyes gleam with intelligence, and her slightly “grumpy cat” expression is as iconic and endearing as McGonagall’s sharp but loving glare. Her bottle-brush tail and unique, thick coat are full of character, much like the untamable mane Hermione embraced with confidence. With regular grooming and a healthy diet, her coat is sure to flourish into something even more magnificent.
Rescued after being abandoned in Cairo, Nelly’s journey rivals any great adventure from the wizarding world. Thanks to a devoted rescuer, she received the veterinary care she needed and traveled all the way to Northern Virginia. Now fostered in Burke, VA, she’s ready to find her forever home, where she can thrive as the center of attention (and as the only cat in the family).
Nelly’s adopter should be willing to stay in touch with her original rescuer, who shares a deep bond with this special girl. If you’re ready to add a little magic to your life, don’t miss the chance to welcome Nelly into your home—she’s sure to be the brightest star in your family for years to come!
