Rescue:

Pet Patrol received an urgent call from a woman who has rescued cats in her area before and
has done her best to make sure they were safe. She can house them temporarily, then she
places them with other rescues or finds new homes for them. She had become aware of a
young woman who was living on her own and pregnant. Family and Children Services had
insisted that this young woman’s many cats and two large dogs be rehomed. The women who
called Pet Patrol took in sixteen cats, but there were still nine left in the apartment, as well as
two dogs who were large and aggressive. The rescue went well, as the young woman who
owned the cats helped by placing the cats into carriers. Pet Patrol was able to help with three
little orange teenage cats (Niles being one of them), a mama cat who was almost blind due to
an eye infection, her two kittens and two very pregnant cats about to give birth. Proper authorities and other cat rescues have been called to make sure the remaining cats and the dogs will
be looked after and removed from their dismal living conditions..

Personality:

Melba, like the other seven cats that come from the same over populated
home, is friendly and affectionate. She likes to climb up on your
shoulder and nuzzle into your head, ear, give kitty kisses on your cheek
and mess up your hair. She purrs the whole time and has a wonderful
look of happiness on her little feline face. She is very social and
outgoing, greeting people at the door, climbing on your lap, seeking
you out for love and petting. She is also quite playful and can
entertain herself quite nicely with toys that dangle, bounce or even a
paper bag with a catnip toy inside, and let’s not forget the cat
favorite, the cardboard box. Melba is good with other cats and is ready to be
adopted into her forever home with a buddy or sibling. One that will
love her and give her as much affection as she will give you. One that
will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors
