Rescue:

Pet Patrol received a call from a family who lived on a rural property near a small town. They
have several barn cats who over the years have been quite elusive to the humane trap, which
would take them into a clinic to be spayed. This would end the constant output of kittens
(four to six per litter and three or four breeding females all at once) as it was becoming very
concerning for them to rehome them all. The resources for low cost spay or neuter was limited
in their area and the closest was at least an hour’s drive away. They were willing to do it to
save more unwanted kittens from being born, but they were not able to get an appointment
confirmed. Hence, we had Scooter and his litter mates (Sully, Sampson, Sugar, Suki and
Stella) brought to Pet Patrol. This is a good family and when the kittens are born they are
gathered up and the mother cat follows them right into the house. The little ones are raised in
a family setting, handled and loved by everyone.

Personality:

Scooter very playful and adventurous. He has taken on the leader role and protector of the
litter. He will be the first to check everything out and usually sits at the door when he hears
someone coming, to be the first to greet them. He is the second largest boy of the litter. With
new people it sometimes takes a wee bit of time to warm up to them, but then he quickly
shows that he is very affectionate, asks for cuddles and lap time. Scooter plays well with
everyone, is gentle with the smaller kittens and good with children and using the cardboard
scratching board. Scooter is ready to be adopted into his forever home with a playmate or
sibling. One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors
