Rescue:
Call Patrol has been working with a lady who lives in a small village, in the country. Many, many
times cats have wandered over to her property from the neighbours’ where they had five acres
of junk. There are abandoned trailers, dumpsters, piles of skids of wood etc. There is also a
stable that has horses and the cats frequently visit there, but there is not a lot of food put down
for the growing population of cats on the property. When one of the female cats becomes
pregnant, they would migrate to this woman’s property which was much safer and quieter.
They would go to the closest outbuilding which was an abandoned chicken coop which is in
good shape and has not been used for chickens for quite some time. The birthing boxes are
kept ready for when mother cats do come and have their kittens there, and the building is
checked regularly. Once the woman realizes there’s a mother cat and kittens in there, she
moves them into her shop where they are kept safe and are able to relax, be fed, and receive
a lot of attention. This is the case with Diamond. She was rescued at her feeding station and
on the very next day she had seven kittens. Unfortunately, one did not survive but the rest have
done extremely well. Diamond is a very friendly girl and very sweet.
Personality:
Diamond is such a good cat. She is friendly and affectionate, good with greeting new people
and really likes to be a lap cat with someone. She is good company. While in Pet Patrol care
we have noticed her checking out toys, not really knowing what they are all about, but gently
patting a ball and using the cardboard scratching post. She will soon figure out what toys are
and start exploring them more. She is a happy cat and likes to be with her people or be entertained
by gazing out the window at the world. She is gentle and does well with other cats and
older children. Diamond is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome
her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
