Rescue:
Gypsy, Geneva and Gifford were born outside to a friendly mom that was abandoned at an
apartment building. It appears that someone moved out and just left her behind. Some of
the people in the apartment building had been feeding her and then with Covid limitations
she was not able to be spayed. As would happen, she became pregnant and had her kittens
under some bushes in a densely wooded area. Someone in the complex eventually
adopted her but the kittens were left on the street. There were six little ones and they were
very frightened. This was a low income area and apparently the tennants were not allowed
to set up a humane trap to rescue the babies, but luckily a neighbour who owns his home
offered to help. Unfortunately by this time there were only three kittens left. It is unknown if
they were rescued or became prey. Soon afterwards Pet Patrol was called and we offered
to take them in. They have thrived in their foster home.
Personality:
From her foster mom: Gypsy was always the most reserved of the three siblings. But once
she came to the sanctuary she has really opened up to the affection and attention that
people can provide for her. She loves to be pet, is a very playful girl and especially fond of
the wand toys with the string and toys attached. She is tentative about being picked up but
that will come with time. Gypsy is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that is
gentle and calm, and will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors
