Brent aka Nigel



Nigel is an affectionate older cat around 10 years old. He wants to live his best life in style and comfort. He doesn’t mind other cats or dogs as long as he has own space. 


This boy would do best in a quiet house with older children, another cat and/or quiet dog. He takes a while to warm up to people as long as they understand to go slow with him. Once he is comfortable with you, he will become your best friend. When things become loud he will disappear under a bed until he feels it is safe to come out… unless it’s meal time. 


When it comes to meal time, Nigel will chatter away letting you know to hurry up. He does not like to share his food with other animals and will bully to get more. 


During the day, he loves to bask on a bed in the sun sleeping or looking out the window wishing to chase the birds. He is a playful senior with his string or laser pointer. Nigel is learning to like the brush. His coat is long fine and becomes matted very quickly if you don’t stay on top of his brushing. The best time to brush this old soul is when he is cuddly and purring like a little engine. 


Nigel will make a wonderful companion for someone who is wanting a “young at heart” older cat.

Broken Promises Rescue is a volunteer run, not-for-profit, animal rescue organization located in the lower Vancouver Island. We are a group of long time rescuers that have come together to focus on improving the lives of unwanted, neglected and orphaned animals on Vancouver Island (as well as remote communities and other areas of B.C. if our resources allow us to.) Currently we are seeing many pets overlooked in the shelter system because they have less than desirable qualities. They may have medical or behavioral issues or they may simply be the wrong color, age or breed. At Broken Promise Rescue we believe all animals deserve to experience a life without pain, loneliness or hunger and want them to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished, despite appearance, age or medical condition. We are also dedicated to public education and raising awareness to help end the ongoing abuse, neglect and suffering. Educating children and adults about the responsibilities of animal ownership will go a long way in influencing public opinion on proper animal care, and help mold a more compassionate future. No animal should suffer at the hands of ignorance.
