Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a call from a, now retired, woman who was active in cat rescue up north.
She still gets inquiries from people desperate to find help for the cats in their care and all she
can do is contact other rescues and see if they can take them in. In the case of Hazel, she was
given to an older woman because ‘she had cats’. People have few resources up there, vet
costs are high, and there are no city shelters near by. So what do you do with a cat that you
can no longer keep? Some people advertise on social media or look for someone that they
know who has cats. That’s how Hazel ended up with the retired lady. The older woman, of
course took the cat in, loving cats, but she was not in any financial position to be able to look
after her properly. Her home is cluttered and there are many cats there now. Help is desperately needed. Now Hazel is in Pet Patrol care, we have had her spayed and micro chipped
and she is ready for a loving family.
Personality:
Hazel is a very good little cat. She is quite used to being with other cats, playing with them,
napping together and just hanging out. She likes her people just as much but can be a bit
unsure until she is comfortable in her new environment. She can often be found curled up at
the foot of the bed overnight or snuggled in on the couch while watching TV. Hazel has really
enjoyed the playroom at the sanctuary and all the toys. We are not really sure if she had a cat
tree, interactive toys or crinkly sounding toys, but she has been playing with them enthusiastically here. What a dear little cat she is.
