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:

Noel is a little purr factory with a curious mind and plenty of affection to share. She loves cuddles
and belly rubs and is always ready to turn on that happy motor when her people give her some
attention. An enthusiastic explorer, Noel enjoys investigating her surroundings, discovering new
places, and climbing whenever the opportunity arises. Her wonderfully expressive ears seem to
have personalities of their own, constantly flapping and moving as she takes everything in! Curious,
cuddly, and full of charm, Noel is ready to be adopted into her forever home—one that will welcome
her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
