Rescue:

A man who owns a nice hobby farm about forty minutes from the city noticed this lovely orange
boy on his property. A new cat that he had not seen before. This was Maurice and he was
desperate to get inside the house but the family already had a few indoor cats, who were not
interested in sharing the house with a new comer. A nice warm spot was set up for him in the
barn, where they also had their sheep, goats, barn cats and ducks. Maurice did not want to
live that rustic life and continued to cry outside the back door of the house. Fearing that something
might happen to him, as there were predators around that would attack an unsuspecting
cat, they called Pet Patrol to see if we could help. It did take a few weeks before we had
space for him at the sanctuary, as we had been involved with an incredible fall breeding /
rescue season, but soon this lovely boy was in our care.

Personality:

When Maurice first arrived, he was quite chatty. Asking all kinds of questions as to why he
was at the sanctuary, who are these people and why so many other cats? But it only took an
hour for him to fill his tummy with food and relax into a deep sleep. He has shown us every day
how grateful he is for being rescued. He is very affectionate and happy to be pet and cuddled.
Toys are something he is learning about, although he took right away to anything with catnip in
it. The laser pen light was a mystery and the balls with bells took a bit of getting used to.
Maurice is now ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will welcome him into the
family and keep him safely indoors
