Rescue:

Esmeralda appeared on a rural property close to a small village. The couple have lived there
for many years and have never had cats show up before. Early in the spring they found a
friendly mother cat and her litter of kittens in the window well which looks into their basement
shop. Soon they were rescued, with the Dad cat, and brought into Pet Patrol care for medical
care and adoption. Now, just a few months later Esmeralda appeared on their back deck,
meowing at them and wanting attention and affection. They immediately started feeding her
and then checked her belly. Yup, she was nursing kittens, but they were nowhere in sight, and
after eating she would trot back into the woods. Now it was a waiting game and eventually
she brought her kittens (Ellington, Elyse, Elija and Ellis) +to the feeding station and window
well as it was safe, and the kittens were not able to roam around without her in attendance.
Soon, they too were brought into Pet Patrol for care and have done very well.

Personality:

Esmeralda is a super friendly cat. Her foster mom describes her as “a calm cat, very well
behaved.” She loves it when she receives attention from her people and is not shy about
asking for it. She comes to you and looks right into your eyes, purring, in anticipation for
affection, food or play time. She plays with string and anything she can chase, bat around or
roll around on the floor with, like a catnip toy. Esmeralda is the classic neighbourhood watch
cat entertained by the activities outside, while sitting on the window sill in a sunbeam. She is
ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep
her safely indoors.
