Rescue:

A tearful phone message was left on the Pet Patrol line from a woman whose brother had just died. He had a very difficult time fighting cancer and she was his main caregiver for the last year and a half. The woman is a cat lover and had noticed there were three stray cats outside his house, Maurice being one of them. He turned out to be a very nice, friendly cat and soon after starting to feed him two little Torti females showed up with him. Again they were very nice gentle and friendly cats. By now the man had lost his driver’s license and was very out of sorts, didn’t know what to do with himself, and felt very lost. With the encouragement of his sister he learned more about the cats, respected their poor situation and eventually invited them into the house. She made sure that they were spayed or neutered and had their vaccinations. They definitely made a difference in his life as he became happier and had something to look forward to every day. But now she didn’t know what to do with the cats. Eventually Maurice and another little kitten, Shelly, were brought into Pet Patrol care and the two Torti’s went to another rescue group and are doing well.

Personality:

Maurice is such a good cat. He is kind and unassuming, good with the other cats in the sanctuary and likes his people too. He is always ready for a pet and cuddle, will rub up against your legs for attention and hop up onto the couch beside you. He is gentle, intelligent and fun loving. He will join in on games to catch that illusive red dot, bat around a crinkle ball or just watch the younger kittens play. He likes his cat climber and will perch on the very top to look out the window. All in all a great kitty and good company. Maurice is ready to be adopted into his forever home . One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
