Rescue:

In a small town, north of the sanctuary, a husband and wife had been living a quiet life and
took in five friendly, homeless cats. They loved them all and treated them well, but were
concerned about creating a larger colony if they could not get them fixed soon. Most rural
areas do not have low-cost clinics to support the overpopulation of cats, and the cost per
cat at the local vet was not within their budget. However, they did manage to have the male
cat neutered. As luck would have it, one of the females became pregnant from a stray
Tom that was hanging around the property at the time.Three kittens were born to this one
mama: Bonita, Buddy and Bootsie. The wife called a local, but very small cat rescue and
mentioned that she wasn’t feeling very well and wanted to make sure places for the cats
could be found soon. When the rescue came to the house to pick up this little feline trio,
the wife was in the hospital and not ten days later, she passed away from cancer. Her
husband was definitely heartbroken. The adult cats were fine where they were, but he did
want them to find good homes soon. It was too much for him to look after them all on his
own, and now down to a single income.

Personality:

Bonita is a very sweet shy girl who is opening up to her caregivers. She has enjoyed discovering the new toys, especially the cat dancer, fishy wand toy and laser pointer….when
her brothers aren’t stealing them from her. She likes sitting in the window watching the
birds and cuddling up in a warm cozy place. She is starting to show her personality, and
would do best in a quiet home with another cat. Where she can be shown that the world
isn’t such a scary place and there’s lots of love for her. She is a sweetheart. Bonita is
ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and
keep her safely indoors.
