Rescue:
During peak kitten season – which runs from mid June to mid August, Pet Patrol takes in
hundres of kittens. They come from different environments (indoors, outdoors, homes, barns,
ditches and back yards) and some are in good health and others not. Niles and his nine other
siblings or cousins come into Pet Patrol care in one afternoon. They all came from one location – a nice clean home. A woman in a small town took in a female cat and her kittens. There
were four girls and two boys. It was very entertaining and the love was enormous for these cats
as they grew up in a family home. But she did not have them spayed or neutered and once
mature the females became pregnant. Now what to do? She thought that she would be able
to find homes for the kittens, but since there were several litters born within a 12 day period it
immediately became clear that she would not be able to do that . Between her local cat rescue
organization and Pet Patrol, the twenty or more kittens were taken into care. All are friendly
and loved, raised in a clean environment and were well cared for.
Personality:
Niles is the quiet sibling who will be a little more cautious of his surroundings and loud or quick
moving people. He absolutely loves aerial hunting (feathers on a string, reflections or the laser
pointed on walls) and will swoop in quickly, enhancing his hunting skills and it is pure joy for
him when he catches it. He is a mighty hunter this little one is. He likes the top perch of the
cat tree too, to see what is happening in the yard, or on the street outside. Never daring to go
outside, he is entertained none the less. He is a kitty to loves to nap with his siblings and on
your lap as well, enjoying the pets and cuddles. Niles is ready to be adopted into his forever
home. One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
