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:

Nova is a dark gray kitten with the sweetest green eyes that pull you in. She loves to run, jump,
and bounce and play hide and bounce with her siblings. She is very friendly and seeks out
people for affection and cuddles and has been known to give some sweet kisses. She is
quite cute when she carries toys in her mouth and will pounce on anything that moves. This pretty
girl is confident, kind and curious about the world around her. After playing hard she will then
sleep in the funniest of positions. In her foster family, Nova 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 new forever home. One that will welcome her into
the family and keep her safely indoors.
