Rescue:

Niko’s start to his life was horrible. A woman had heard about a family who had a number of cats in
their home with kittens to give away. It was not a nice home, dysfunctional and accurately
described as a hoarders home in ill repair. There are years of grim on the doors and walls where
hands had touched, floors were filthy with faeces and dirt. There were only pathways through the
home and on either side was stuff, garbage, things piled and left to sit for ages. The litter box was
never cleaned. They would put the kittens in a carrier over night so that they would not run around
and wake them up. But let’s think about this;­ if the house is in deplorable shape, that carrier was
not cleaned either, and the kittens sat in their own faeces and urine every night. This created
horrendous sores on their bellies and feet. Reports have been made to try and clear up the
situation but help is slow. We are very happy to have rescued many cats and this sweet boy from
that home and all have recovered from their injuries.

Personality:

Niko is the ultimate orange cat—curious, playful, confident, and full of affection! He’s always up for
an adventure, whether it’s batting around spring toys, chasing after his foster siblings, or engaging
in a friendly wrestling match. His purr is as big as his personality, greeting every person with a loud,
happy rumble. Out of his siblings, Niko was the best companion to his foster’s 4­ year­ old niece,
allowing her to carry him around and read to him with endless patience. He thrives in an
environment where he can play, explore, and cuddle, making him the perfect match for a home with
another energetic cat who can keep up with his fun­ loving spirit. Niko is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors with a playmate.
