HERE IS HIS SURVIVAL STORY:
(To read his bio, skip to the next section)

When Mogwai and his siblings were around three weeks old, they lost their mum to the hands of a cruel and heartless human. But that was just the beginning of their ordeal.

They had been born inside the roof of an apartment building, and when their mum did not return, they went looking for her... and fell into a crawlspace.
They became stuck inside the wall, crying for their mum day and night, desperate for food and water and becoming weaker with every passing hour.

Caring residents heard their distressed mews and soon called Sugar and Spice to help. Despite efforts to thwart our rescue mission (by the same person responsible for mumma cat) we prevailed, and were finally able to locate and free Mogwai and two of his sisters.

They had survived five long days with no food or water.

But it still was not over.

The celebration of success was short-lived when, several hours after the liberation of the three, residents heard the faint cries of a fourth kitten.
Despite our best efforts, we were unable to locate this last kitten for several more days. On day eight, we were able to get her food and water, but it took another two to trap her.

All of the kittens were emaciated and extremely close to death. They were also absolutely *terrified* of humans, and would spit and hiss and lunge every time they got a glimpse of one. (Tiny balls of fluff trying to look scary is much cuter than they intended, but we digress.) Their recovery was very slow, but bit by bit they came around.

The fact that all four survived (particularly Tribble, the last to be located) is almost unbelievable. We would say it is a miracle, but we feel that might be short-changing our incredible rescue team and the kittens' foster carer, who spent weeks nursing all four of them back to health.

Whatever the reason, the beat the odds and we are so happy that they are finally ready to find their forever homes!!

ABOUT MOGWAI:

Despite the incredibly harrowing ordeal early on in life, Mogwai has blossomed into a friendly, outgoing, and extremely affectionate kitten. He was the first to show affection for his foster carer, and within about a week he was trading his terrified hisses for loving purrs. He helped his siblings to gain confidence by showing them that humans aren't so bad after all.

Mogwai's favourite times of day are playtime and cuddle time. He adores running amok with his siblings, getting into wresting matches and pouncing competitions and seeing who can be the first to successfully hunt and kill a pom-pom or pipe cleaner. But after he's all tuckered out, Mogwai wants to curl up in your lap or perch on your chest and purr until he's fast asleep.

This beautiful little boy is truly a perfect kitten. He would do well in any household, but he would especially love to go to a house with another cat who can participate in playtime and give him a run for his money. He would be particularly happy if he were to be adopted with his sister Ewok, because they are two peas and a pod! (She is equally as playful and snuggly and practically perfect in every way.)
