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. Asher 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:

Piles of blankets on the couch? Asher says, “Yes, please!” But better yet is the pick-me-up-and-cuddle-me routine with his people. Asher is a gentle boy who finds small spaces to
tuck himself into and rewards his people with purrs when they find him. Chasing the dangling end of a cat wand, playing with his siblings and attacking fuzzy balls are all activities
that fill Asher’s days between the mandatory snuggles. At the end of the day, Asher will
climb the blanket mountain on the couch or get cozy with his siblings for some much needed rest. This handsome boy is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that
will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
