Rescue
Through the grapevine of rescue organizations, Pet Patrol became aware of Zebedee and Florence. Here is their story: A woman went to see a “breeder” of Flame Point Siamese, and was shocked to find the cats were kept in an unheated shed at the back of the property. There were more than two dozen cats there and they were kept in wire cages with bits of cardboard and no proper food or comfort. The man usually bred birds and small animals for pet stores, but was talked into taking the Siamese from a breeder who no longer wanted to do it. He was also this woman’s former elementary school teacher, now retired. She kindly offered to find the cats homes and over time just did that. Zebedee and Florence were the last two, and the most traumatized by the experience. Once all the cats were safely out of harm’s way, the man was reported to the local SPCA for cruelty to animals. Back street breeders need to be reported and stopped.

Personality
Zebedee was a very nervous boy when he first arrived. Like all Siamese, when he became nervous he sought out the highest place he could find; the top of the bakers rack! He is now a fairly confident cat and can be seen playing with the toys or doing the Kitty Indy 500 with one of the other cats. He enjoys the company of the other cats in his foster home. He especially likes cuddling with Florence, the cat who was rescued at the same time as him. They are best buddies and hold kitty conversations. He would do well in a calm home with people who were willing to be patient with him. It would be nice for Zebedee and Florence to remain together in their forever home. One that will welcome them into the family and keep them safely indoors.
