Rescue:

The N kittens were born to a young stray mama who had been surviving behind an apartment
building, hiding in bushes near a dumpster while caring residents left food for her. Only about 18
months old, she had already tragically lost a previous litter while trying to lead them across a busy
road. When a rescuer encountered her while searching for a different missing cat, her thin frame
and the signs that she was nursing another litter made it impossible to look away. For weeks, her
routine was carefully tracked with help from residents, but because no one knew where she had
hidden her babies or how young they were, mama couldn’t safely be trapped until the kittens began
following her out. Once they finally appeared, a carefully planned effort began, and over a 24hour
period, mama and all of her kittens were successfully brought to safety. After spending their earliest
weeks hidden away outdoors, the little family could finally leave the dumpster, traffic, and
approaching winter behind.

Personality:

Nigel is a feisty, spirited little guy with plenty of personality packed into his sleek black frame.
Independent and confident, he enjoys doing his own thing but is always happy to stop for some
good rubs from his people. Nigel loves to climb, explore, and throw himself into a wrestling match
with his siblings, making sure there is rarely a dull moment when he is around. With his fun
combination of independence, affection, and adventurous kitten energy, Nigel is ready to be
adopted into his forever home—one that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely
indoors.
