Rescue:
A couple who were living in a seasonal cottage area were out on a bike ride one very cool and
overcast day. They noticed that there were a lot of young cats on one property in particular.
The property was a little unkept, with many bushes and taller weeds, and some of the cats
were found under these clumps seeking refuge from the wind. The woman riding by was quite
concerned with the alarming number and wondered how they would survive with winter coming. It appeared there was only a shed on the property other than the house for them to seek
shelter. She left the owner a note on the door, and he called her saying he would appreciate
any help possible in re-homing the cats. He was quite overwhelmed. In the meantime the
woman had sent a message to a local resident who in the past had helped with cat rescue,
and they went to scope out the situation. They found fifteen cats in total, of various colours and
most were very sweet, friendly and young. They were fed well and the man had tried to socialize them to ensure that new homes could be found for them. All the cats were quite nice and
willing to be picked up and pet. The man chose to keep a few of the cats, and these have
been spayed or neutered, and have access in and out of the building.
Personality:
Von is a sweet and cautious kitten. He is the smallest of his group of siblings, and has been a
bit slower to warm up to his foster family. He has been friendly when he’s petted, but does not
tend to approach for attention just yet. Perhaps when his active sibling are preoccupied he will
make the move for his people. He does enjoy a game of catch, and after he’s warmed up to
you, he can be happy to be cuddled. He can often be found cuddled up with his siblings. Von is
ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will welcome him into the family and keep
him safely indoors.
