Rescue:
Niya and her siblings come from a rural barn where the cat population quickly grew out of control.
It all began with one unaltered male cat and a stray female who was abandoned there. Over time,
the situation spiraled, leaving a retired woman and her adult son—who faces health challenges –
struggling to care for an evergrowing
number of cats and kittens. These cats and kittens, ranging
from 15 weeks to 2 years old, are incredibly friendly and well socialized
despite their challenging
start in life. With limited resources and mounting veterinary bills, the family did their best to provide
food, shelter, and medical care for the cats, but it became overwhelming. Recognizing the need for
help, they reached out to local rescues, and that’s when Pet Patrol stepped in. Niya and her
siblings were among the first to be brought to safety. Now safe in Pet Patrol’s care, they are on the
path to finding loving homes where they will no longer have to endure concrete floors and work
benches or live in uncertainty.
Personality:
Niya is a mix of playful energy and quiet observation, balancing her adventurous side with a love
for perching beside (or on top of) her favorite people. She’s naturally curious and confident, always
ready to explore new places and meet new faces. Strings and chase games are among her favorite
pastimes, and she’s never one to turn down a fun wrestling match with her foster siblings. Though
independent at times, Niya adores human attention. If she wants to be held and you don’t pick her
up, she’ll simply climb up herself! She would thrive in a home with another energetic cat who can
be her playmate and cuddle companion, helping her continue to grow into the affectionate, happy
cat she’s meant to be. Niya is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her
into the family and keep her safely indoors with a playmate.
