Niko

Niko is an adorable little tomcat with a calm personality and a very obvious weakness for food. Of Iris’s four kittens, he seems to be the quietest and least bothered by the commotion around him. However, when food appears, Niko is among the first to turn up at the table! He’s curious to try new flavours and was the first to show an interest in a special creamy treat for kittens.

He’s a little foodie who eats both wet and dry food well, although he seems to prefer the wet sort. He’s still being breastfed by his mum, but is starting to show more and more interest in solid food.

When it’s time to play, Niko puts his quiet side aside and springs straight into action. He loves to romp about with his brothers and sisters, roll about, give little ‘bunny bumps’ and turn any toy into a challenge. Round toys and strings immediately catch his eye, and sometimes he gets so caught up in play that he even uses his little teeth to explore people’s fingers. As he’s still a kitten, he’s gradually learning how to play without biting too hard.

Niko is predominantly black, with white fur on his muzzle, chest and tummy. The round black patch on his neck gives him a distinctive look. He looks very much like his sister, Nika, but his completely black ears help to set him apart from her.

He is an attentive and curious little one, watching everything that happens around him with wide eyes. He hasn’t tried to escape from the play area quite as often as his sisters, but when he gets a burst of energy, he runs around the pen and joins all his playmates. He loves to explore, climb and discover new things, especially when something interesting catches his eye.

Niko is still young and has plenty to show as he grows up. For now, he stands out for his relatively calm nature, his healthy appetite and the energy he saves for playtime. His affectionate side will develop over time, as he gains confidence and discovers how he likes to interact with people.

Niko is looking for a responsible family who can provide him with a safe home, age-appropriate food, plenty of playtime and veterinary care. He needs patient people who are ready to help him grow up healthy and discover all the facets of his personality as a little foodie and explorer.
