Niyah

Niyah is definitely one of the more interesting kittens we've fostered. It's been such a joy to foster her.

She's a very confident kitten, with a touch of separation anxiety when she first arrived, but I can leave her alone for longer periods now that she's settled in a bit better over the time she's been with us. I only occasionally hear her cry if I'm outside now. However, she does have some other quirks that are more likely her personality traits than simple kitten behaviour.

Niyah is a uniquely mercurial cat. A little bitey, but not what I'd call spicy. She flashes her murder mittens sometimes, but I still don't have a single scratch from her from playing & rough housing with her. That's a first! She communicates with her mouth to let you know she doesn't like something. It's just a warning. She will carry things around in it (which is uber adorable), as well as for love bites (yes, cats give love bites)..

Niyah can be a cat's cat, and would suit a home with a confident cat. She has spent her whole life with 2yo male who she's friendly with, and has interacted quite a bit with our two residents in ways that make me confident she'll adapt to other new cats & I don't think the gender is an issue for her. As long as you have a fishing rod toy you're golden. And a kicker toy for when she gets a little too excited.

She's very clever kitty & picks things up pretty quickly. She's very much a problem solver & would be a great candidate for training. One might say she's also a bit of an emotional support kitty... Any time I've been upset, she makes a unique squeak sound & might trill while she's running to me to comfort me. Paws up on my chest, sometimes making biscuits & lots of smooches & full head bonks in your face until she feels satisfied you're ok. She also did this with her former owner, so it's a definite trait & one of my personal faves of this darling smol kitty.

It's my belief that Niyah would suit a variety of homes, as long as there's a playmate for her, which could be a dog. She is a bit like a dog in some ways. And I think she'd be ok with children who're old enough to be aware, but they'd need to know she isn't a fan of being picked up & cuddled, except for the infrequent occasions I catch her in the right mood. She will come & snuggle with you though & likes to sleep with her human/s.

Niyah is a healthy raw/high quality fed kitten who has been wormed, flea treated, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped (microchip #956000017382437, source #RE101165). She is available for adoption. Her adoption fee also includes her second vaccination at one of our rescue vets.
