Rescue:
Apple and her brother Alphie were lucky. They were born in a family home with six children
and a lot of cats. The young daughter in the family was trying to take care of all of the cats
on her own; and her father would not put out the money to have them fixed. She tried to
find them homes and by now had exhausted her connections. It was all on her. If she
wanted the cats, she had to do everything. This was the third litter this year from one of the
mother cats, and she usually had seven or eight kittens at a time. Apple and Alfie were
from this litter and they were all brought into Pet Patrol care. The mother cat will be
spayed as soon as the orphan kittens she is raising, are weaned. Although it was difficult
for the young girl to give up the cats, she knew that she could no longer look after them all.
Personality:
Apple is described by her foster mom as super sweet. She’s a little timid with unfamiliar
people and new environments, but she opens up very quickly, especially if her brother
Alphie is with her. She picks up on his energy and cues as to what is fun and what is to be
cautious of. She follows him everywhere. Apple is a cuddly cat and will climb up on your
lap for cuddle time and won’t move until you move. She and her brother will play with their
toys for hours on end until they get exhausted and fall asleep. Apple is ready to be adopted
into a forever home with a playmate, hopefully with her brother Alphie. One that will welcome
them into the family and keep them safely indoors.
