Rescue:

Esmeralda appeared on a rural property close to a small village. The couple have lived there
for many years and have never had cats show up before. Early in the spring they found a
friendly mother cat and her litter of kittens in the window well which looks into their basement
shop. Soon they were rescued, with the Dad cat, and brought into Pet Patrol care for medical
care and adoption. Now, just a few months later Esmeralda appeared on their back deck,
meowing at them and wanting attention and affection. They immediately started feeding her
and then checked her belly. Yup, she was nursing kittens, but they were nowhere in sight, and
after eating she would trot back into the woods. Now it was a waiting game and eventually
she brought her kittens (Ellington, Elyse, Elija and Ellis) to the feeding station and window well
as it was safe, and the kittens were not able to roam around without her in attendance. Soon,
they too were brought into Pet Patrol for care and have done very well.

Personality:

Elijah is super curious, brave and wants to see anything that is new and investigate every
room. He, like all kittens and his siblings, is very playful and active. He loves to run though
the kitty tunnel and up the cat tree, viewing the room from the top perch. Often when tuckered
out he will cuddle up with his person or in a puddle of fur and purr in the soft kitty bed. Elijah
likes his brother Ellis and seeks him out for playtime and grooming. He is very social and
friendly with people and doesn’t mind being picked up and carried, purring as soon as you
start to pet him and comes running to you when you come home. Elijah is ready to be
adopted into his forever home with a sibling or playmate. One that will welcome him into the
family and keep him safely indoors.
