Rescue:
One of Pet Patrol’s volunteers noticed a new cat, at her feeding station, during the winter
months. The cat was timid but would come back about every three to four days for the food
and water (in a heated bowl so it would not freeze). In early spring Sassy was becoming
more friendly, very chatty, but still wouldn’t approach the woman. Sassy was looking a little
chunky by now. Perhaps it was her winter weight and thick coat but one day she arrived looking
much thinner! The woman was determined to pet this little cat so she could eventually see
her belly, and yes – Sassy had had babies! Unable to find the nest, she now had to wait for
the babies to become about five or six weeks old, and follow their mother to the feeding station.
Then she would be able to rescue the entire feline family. Being out in a small village
there are a lot of places to hide the kittens from harm, and the waiting is the hardest part. One
day her husband texted her and said he saw two kittens outside in their yard!!! Yay!! That
night a humane trap was put out and all were rescued and safely in the volunteers’ care until
they could be delivered to Pet Patrol in the morning. “So thankful for Pet Patrol for always
being there to help these poor kitties who are left to fend for themselves, thrown outside with
nothing to protect them!”
Personality:
Sassy has turned out to be a very loving cat who likes getting a belly rub every time someone
walks by. Her days of laying on wet grass, hiding under wooden skids or scurrying across hot
pavement or icy roads, are gone. Now she can be found stretched out on the couch or a soft
rug, enjoying the care free life of a house cat. She’s quick to purr and wants all kinds of
touches (ears, chin, bum, belly) and although she hasn’t figured out toys yet, she goes crazy for
catnip. The scratching post is a fav as well. Sassy likes the company of the other cats and is
usually within a paws reach of one of them and it would be nice for her to have a feline friend in
her new home. She is ready to be adopted into her forever home.
