Rescue:
A woman who lives in a very small village not too far from the sanctuary sometimes finds stray cats
at her back door. One day, she noticed a handsome orange and white boy, and along with him was
a very pregnant cat with four teens (Hank, Hampton, Hopper, and Harrison) in tow. They were
coming out of the cornfield, seeking food and shelter. They were looking for anything that might
help them survive. As the woman put food and fresh water down for them, they ate ravenously. She
immediately noticed how thin they were. The female cat was not showing her friendly side at the
time, but the others quickly came forward for pets and purrs when their bellies were full. Because of
encounters with strays in the past, the woman has a home made for cats in the window well that
looks into her husbands shop, equipped with a heat lamp and dry bedding. Once the family of
kitties settled in, they came into our care and have thrived ever since.
Personality:
Hampton is a friendly, affectionate boy who likes being pet and can be quite playful. His favourite
toys are, in typical cat fashion, cardboard boxes! This is especially true if you put a ping pong ball,
or one with a bell in the box for him to bat around inside of it. But he’ll also be thrilled if given a kitty
tunnel to chase his brothers in or have a nap even. He can be startled by loud noises, so he would
do well in a quieter home with adults or older children (Hampton finds the sanctuary a bit too
overstimulating). He does well with other cats and came into Pet Patrol care with Hank, Harrison
and Hopper. This handsome boy is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will
welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors
