Rescue:

Pet Patrol received an email from a woman who was quite concerned about some cats that
were living in a drive shed. Their main shelter was in this large and uninsulated building,
amongst motors, cars, oil and dirt. They would trot across the gravel driveway, in all weathers,
onto the front porch of the house, then cry to get the owners attentio to be fed. In total
there were six cats, fairly friendly but a little concerned. None of the cats were spayed or
neutered and naturally there were a few litters born. The property owners really didn’t know
where the cats had come from. At one point there was a mother cat who arrived, had her
litter, raised them in the drive shed and then promptly disappeared leaving two of them
behind. This was Rain and her siblings and they were in need of being rescued. The people
weren’t interested in having them there any longer and didn’t want to worry about them over
the winter time. When the cats were brought to the sanctuary by a friend of theirs, first thing
that was noted was that her Rain’s fur was very greasy looking even a little wet in areas,
and her feet were caked with black oil, like axle grease. It was very sad, she looked very
depressed and disheveled. By the next morning, after having had her feet washed and given
good food, water and a nice warm place to rest she looked far better.

Personality:

Rain is a calm cat and quite easy going. She likes her toys and playing with anything that
bounces or crinkles. Catnip mice are the best thing ever and the cat tunnel is a good place
to nap, as well as in a sunbeam. She is very affectionate and friendly, liking to be pet,
cuddled and talked to. Rain will look at you with such gratitude for being in a good place
that is kind and considerate of her. She is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One
that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
