Rescue:

A woman who lives an hour north of the sanctuary emailed to say that she was in need of
finding a place for a mother cat and her four kittens. The mother cat, Niah, had been found as
a stray in the driveway of an elderly couple’s home, and was invited inside. Within a short
period of time she gave birth to four kittens, over a two day period, in different rooms of the
house (they were all collected and quickly placed in a birthing box). Since the couple who
found Niah were elderly they felt they should not have little ones under foot and already had
pets in the house to care for. A friend of a friend started searching for cat rescues, she found
that there are none in her area and no city shelter either. Finally, she contacted Pet Patrol, and
the mother cat and kittens arrived the next day. They were all dramatically hungry, screaming
for their empty tummies, and when food was put out could not get their faces into the dish
quick enough. The poor kittens were thin and mama also, was in poor shape.

Personality:

Nina is a dilute calico kitten with white, grey and orange markings and with sweet green eyes
that beg you to love her. She is friendly, social, and seeks out both people and her other
siblings for affection and play. She is very friendly and loves to sleep in the sun, participate in
the kitten Indy 500 racing around the house, and play hide and pounce. Nina is the smallest
from the litter of kittens and is very patient and has the sweetest little meow. She wiggles her
tail and body whenever you scratch the right spot on her back and will flop over to show you
her tummy. She is active and agile, likes to wrestle, jump and run after her siblings. In her
foster family, Nina actively plays with a young child and adores every second of it. She is a
lover of people young and old and does not get fazed by noise or a busy household. This little
one had a rough start in life but under Pet Patrol’s care she is healthy, happy, and ready for her
forever new home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
