Rescue:

Past

One of Pet Patrol’s volunteers mentioned a situation on a friend’s country property. The
woman’s husband had recently passed away and she was trying to take care of the property herself. Her family members were concerned for her and were hoping she would
consider moving closer to them, about 45 minutes away. But in many cases, our homes
are not sale-ready immediately, they need some TLC, perhaps fresh paint, repairs and
personal belongings need to be sorted. One of her concerns was the number of cats she
was looking after in the barn. They were friendly, we were told, but also that there were
about 12 or 15 of them. Yikes! The first thing that we asked for was photos of the cats
individually, with their age, colour, male or female and temperament. We were delighted to
see that eight of the cats were babies, but sad to see that they were living in an open box
on the porch. They were not allowed indoors and they would not go to the barn. Anna and
her siblings and cousins came into our care on a cold, wet and windy day. They were a
little worse for wear but have overcome everything and are happy and healthy babies now.

Personality:

Sweet Anna will take you up on any offer of being picked up and snuggled. In fact, she’s
been known to follow her people around until she gets exactly that! But if there is a wand
toy being waved about, Anna will leap at the chance to play. Her siblings are often on the
receiving end of her pounces. Cat toys hiding under chairs and couches are quickly discovered and hurled into action by her playful paws. If she’s not curled up with her siblings,
Anna will find a sunny window ledge for a nap to recuperate for the next round of cuddles
and play. This pretty girl is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
