Rescue:
One of Pet Patrol’s volunteers mentioned a situation on a friend’s country property. The
woman’s husband had recently passed away and she was trying to take care of the property herself. Her family members were concerned for her and were hoping she would
consider moving closer to them, about 45 minutes away. But in many cases, our homes
are not sale-ready immediately, they need some TLC, perhaps fresh paint, repairs and
personal belongings need to be sorted. One of her concerns was the number of cats she
was looking after in the barn. They were friendly, we were told, but also that there were
about 12 or 15 of them. Yikes! The first thing that we asked for was photos of the cats
individually, with their age, colour, male or female and temperament. We were delighted to
see that eight of the cats were babies, but sad to see that they were living in an open box
on the porch. They were not allowed indoors and they would not go to the barn. Ace and
his siblings and cousins came into our care on a cold, wet and windy day. They were a
little worse for wear but have overcome everything and are happy and healthy babies now.
Personality:
Allie and Alyx are a bonded pair who share similar personality traits. They are both a little
cautious in new situations, but once they’ve settled in, they will let you know when they
need snuggles and pets. Give them a little time and lots of love, and they will claim your lap
as the best spot in the house. They are quite content to play with each other, stealing toys
and playing hide and seek together in boxes. Both are fans of ribbons and wand toys,
competing for the best flying leap and capture. You will find (Aria/AJ/Aslan) curled up together on a chair or window ledge, perfectly content to share a snooze. These cute kitties
are ready to be adopted into their forever home. One that will welcome them into the
family and keep them safely indoors.
