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 attention 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 Rayina and her brother Roman 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 Rayina’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:

Both Rayina and Roman are calm and easy going cats. They do like their 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. They are very affectionate and friendly,
liking to be pet, cuddled and talked to. They will look at you with such gratitude for being in
a good place that is kind and considerate of them. Rayina is ready to be
adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her
safely indoors
