Rescue:
Nutmeg and her siblings were found outside about four months ago, in a subdivision where
their rescuer lives. “A neighbour had been feeding them for a while, but before they moved
away, they informed me of where they had been seeing them. My sister and I went to look for
them and discovered four kittens (one slightly older than the others), a very pregnant queen,
and two other queens who had been nursing. After about a week of feeding them outside, we
managed to get them into carriers and brought them into our home. They were surprisingly
clean. We asked neighbours if they knew where the cats had come from and one person
suggested that they may have belonged to a neighbour that had since passed away, but I could
not confirm this (although the dates do add up). We kept visiting the spot where we found
them, hoping that we hadn’t missed anyone, and found a ginger male (Bruce) who we suspect
is the father. He was surprisingly friendly and affectionate as well, so we brought him inside
and kept him separated from the females. All are happy and healthy cats now, waiting for their
new families to adopt them.
Personality:
Nutmeg is a cuddly ginger tabby girl who loves taking naps with her trusted humans. She is a
little unsure and shy around new people, but once she warms up, she doesn’t stop looking for
attention! Nutmeg enjoys sleeping on the bed with her humans at night, and tends to hang out
nearby during the day. She also loves to play and snuggle with her sister, Nibbles. This pretty
girl is ready to be adopted into her forever home with her sister Nibbles. One that will welcome
her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
