Rescue:

Aries’ mother, Abby, was a lost cat and had been living in a couple’s backyard since the
spring. They have a garden shed that’s made of wood, and has your usual things stored
inside; lawnmower, garden hose, tarps, and pots. This little cat made it a home once she
realized there was a gap under the door that was just big enough for her to scramble under.
The shed provided shelter from the wind, rain, and predators, and it served as a good
place to have her litter of four kittens. Once the couple realized there were babies (by now
playing in the yard), they worked on convincing them to come up onto the deck for food. It
took a while but they were successful. Realizing this feline family needed to be rescued
they started looking for a rescue organization to help them out. Sadly, two of the kittens
had disappeared during this time. In one day they were able to bring in Abby and her two
remaining kittens; Aries and Apollo. It is always best to rescue kittens close to eight weeks
of age as they can be handled more by people and socialized quickly. Also, the risk of
them disappearing like the other two is significantly reduced.

Personality:

Aries is a lovely cat who just needs a little more time and patience, petting and love, for
him to show how affectionate and sweet he is. Because he and his brother both have trust
in people to feed them, provide shelter for them and kind words, their socializing will come
along quickly. They like to have a good chin scratch and neck/back massage. It makes
them feel loved and relieves the stress. Aries and his brother Apollo would like to be
adopted together. They can often be found cuddled up together, purring happily in a puddle
of fur and purr. Aries is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will
welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors
