Rescue:

A man who lives in a small village and had contacted Pet Patrol a year ago about a lovely orange cat
in need of a home has now approached us again. This time, they mentioned there were “a few”
cats hanging around their home that they were feeding. The problem was, none of them were
spayed or neutered, mature males were spraying on things, kittens were being born outside, and
neighbours were complaining. Understandable. It started with Sparky coming into our care, a
friendly boy who likes everyone. Soon after that, there was a mom and five babies, and then
Sparky’s brother Flash. In total, we have taken in eleven cats and there are at least that many more
in the area. A few cats multiplied rather quickly! All have done well in our care, all have had their
vet care done, and all have thrived while living indoors.

Personality:

Checkers is a chatty and friendly momma cat who is very eager for affection and attention. Now
that the babies are growing up, she has let herself open up tremendously! When you scratch her
head in just the right spot, she will let you know with her loud purrs of love and sometimes she will
even start to drool. In the evening she gets in her super lovey mood and she rolls around on the
floor looking for belly rubs. She loves to play with her people, finding they are a lot of fun! She likes
to gently bat at playful hands with her soft paws, while stretching out on her back. Checkers is
ready to live the good life with a forever family who will keep her safely indoors.
