Rescue:

Pet Patrol received a call from a woman who said that her cat had given birth to kittens in
July, and they have really struggled to find homes for them. The kittens were happy and
healthy in her home but there were five of them, all females. It seems that the family had
not scheduled their adult cat in to be spayed ad she got out of the house one night. Not
knowing that she had become pregnant in that short period of time, they soon realized
after about six weeks when her belly became larger. Then it dawned on them that she had
mated with a tom cat outside and was expecting. The family enjoyed raising the kittens
and have tried to find homes for them as soon as they were weaned at about eight or nine
weeks of age, but no one was adopting at that time. Finally, they reached out to Pet Patrol
and sent photos. We were able to take in two of the kittens right away, and not much later
the other three came into our care. The five kittens are happy, healthy and have been
raised in a loving family home.

Personality:

From her foster mom: Hyacinth is a beautiful cat who loves to be in the middle of family
life. As an active kitty she likes to play with balls, chase string, and is an expert climber!
When she first came to our home, she took a while to warm up, but with time and patience,
she has become a wonderful pet. She is independent and will let you know when she
wants attention. She has been gentle with children, but can be shy when there is too much
noise or activity. Hyacinth’s favourite perch is in the cat tree and will spend plenty of time
each day watching the birds out the window. She will thrive in a home that balances time
together while still allowing her space and independence. She is ready to be adopted into
her forever home. One that would welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
