Rescue:
There is a small village just off of one of the main highways where it is not uncommon for
people to know each other and also know their pets. So, when there’s a stray cat everyone
takes note. A couple of women take it upon themselves to rescue whoever comes into their
yard, provide shelter, food and water year round. In the case of Ricky Bobby’s mother,
Roxanne, she was noticed trotting up the hill following a woman who didn’t seem to realize
the small cat was following her. A short time later, the woman returned and no kitty behind
her. Later in the week a neighbour saw the cat again and she was very pregnant. It was
difficult to find her shelter and it was not near the two women’s homes. Fast forward eight
weeks and Roxanne, her sons Roo and Ricky Robby, all came into Pet Patrol care. A bit
frightened at first, but very happy to be inside where it was safe and warm. They have
settled into living in the house and done extremely well with making sure their caregivers are
happy, by purring contently in their arms.
Personality:
Ricky Bobby is a fun-loving, curious cat who enjoys playing in and exploring new areas. He
is very respectful of other cats and he does not hesitate to become best friends with others.
He has great fun romping around with his brother Roo and climbing and jumping off the cat
tree. He is a bit of a daredevil and can run pretty fast when he gets playing (hence the
name). Ricky Bobby loves being around others, he is purring the loudest when he is sitting
beside other cats whose company he enjoys. He would fit well in a home with other animals
(with proper introductions), as he loves a play and cuddle mate. Ricky Bobby is ready to be
adopted into his forever home, hopefully with a playmate. One that will welcome him into
the family and keep him safely indoors.
