Rescue:
Volunteers to a rescue organization are invaluable. If it wasn’t for them offering to drop off
humane traps, pick up moms and babies, deliver them to the vet, foster them and help with
keeping the sanctuary top notch, Pet Patrol would not be where it is today. For sweet
Betty, she was discovered in the back yard of an older couple who had lived there for many
years. They don’t know where she came from, but she had her kittens in a space between
the solid wooden fence and the side of the garden shed. It was barely protected from
wind, and surely not comfortable for them if it should rain. Betty appeared to be shy but
not feral (wild) she was just in an unfortunate homeless situation with a little fur family to
support. She knew people would help her as she was meowing at them, and that was our
first indication that she was friendly. Soon a humane trap was brought in, Betty went right
in after the food and her kittens were quickly picked up by our volunteers. All were soon on
their way to Pet Patrol.
Personality:
Betty is a sweet and wide eyed beauty. She has been quite open to people and pets since
coming into Pet Patrol care and is accepting of the affection humans can give her. Though
a bit timid, she understands that people are safe and enjoys receiving a nice ear rub and
back massage. Betty expresses herself with frequent coos and chirps rather than meows
and can be seen watching birds from the window sill during all daylight hours. This pretty
girl would do best in a quiet home, where she can get plenty of attention and avoid the
hustle and bustle of constant movement and noises. Betty is ready to be adopted into her
forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her
safely indoors.
