Rescue:
Pet Patrol received word from a friend of the organization that a cat had been spotted hiding
around a nearby farm. She was nicknamed Maizie Blue, and while she was friendly, she wouldn’t
approach too closely. The rescuer realized this pretty cat was pregnant, so they left food out for
her and hoped she would warm up to them to ensure they could help her care for the soontobeborn kittens. As Maizie’s due date grew closer, she became more and more interested in staying
near the safety of the house, but would then disappear every night. Where did she go? One
morning, she arrived thinner; she had had her kittens. She was finally found with her five newborns
in front of the barn’s silos, wedged into a makeshift cave where a wooden pallet leaned against the
cement padding. Such a temporary place was not safe from predators, and this little feline family
was rescued soon after.
Personality:
Juniper is a striking black tabby with a unique frosted coat that makes him stand out from the
crowd. Though he’s the smallest of the litter, his personality and energy are larger than life. This
little dynamo is a cuddler with an amazing purr, always quick to come running when called for
snuggles and to soak up the affection. But don’t let his sweet side fool you—Juniper is a fierce little
athlete! Whether it’s wrestling with his siblings, leaping to impressive heights, or racing around the
room in the Kitty 500, he’s always on the move. Juniper loves a high perch, and it wouldn’t be
surprising if he becomes a shoulder cat for life. His playful side shines when he’s protecting his
favorite toy mice—whether they’re furry or rainbow colored, he’s always ready to defend them with
enthusiasm. Juniper is ready to be adopted into his forever home, one that will welcome him into
the family and keep him safely indoors.
