Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a call from a woman who had been feeding a young cat she noticed visiting her
home starting in November, just as winter was setting in. With cold winds and one of the snowiest
winters in recent memory, she made sure the cat—now named Nixie—had food and some
protection from the weather. Nixie ate on the back deck and had access to a small tentlike shelter
with a cat house inside, which helped block the wind though the cold was still harsh. Found in the
heart of a small village surrounded by farmland, it’s unclear exactly where Nixie originally came
from, though a large roaming orange tom was often seen nearby. Over time, Nixie became
friendlier, and it soon became clear that she was pregnant. The night before she gave birth, the
woman brought her into a heated garage so she could deliver her kittens safely. Nixie and her
babies stayed there for their first week before coming into Pet Patrol’s care. Now safe indoors,
Nixie and her kittens have a much brighter future ahead.
Personality:
Nixie and Nox share an incredibly special bond and are looking for a forever home together. Nixie
absolutely adores her kittens, especially her sweet boy Nox, who has been attached to his mom
from day one. Nixie is a loving and affectionate girl who will happily ask for pets endlessly and purrs
constantly while soaking up attention. She especially loves being brushed and has grown very
trusting of people, though she is still nervous about being picked up and isn’t quite brave enough
for laps yet. Nox takes a little time to warm up in new situations, but as long as his mom is nearby,
his confidence quickly shines through. He loves exploring, wrestling with his sister Nisha, and
joining in on games with the other kittens. Together, Nixie and Nox are a beautiful mix of playful,
loving, and deeply bonded companionship. They are ready to be adopted together into their forever
home. One that will welcome them into the family and keep them safely indoors.
