Rescue:

It is very rare for Pet Patrol to be able to rescue cats that are considered “Smoke Tabbies”.
This means that they may appear to be black in coat colour, or deep grey, but when you part
their fur, it is white. This is called Smoke and usually we only see one every five years or so.
We have been extremely fortunate to have six and possibly more, come into our care from one
farm property. It is a mixed animal farm, mostly beef, and the cats have taken to living in the
hay loft. The owner of the property likes the cats, but there are just too many of them, and the
kittens needed to find family homes. She feeds them daily and provides water, but the only
shelter is up high amongst big bales of hay. The cats will burrow in between the bales; but it is
dusty and the straw is quite sharp and harsh. The woman’s neighbour had received help from
a small rescue in the area last year, to have her cats spayed and neutered. Her colony is now
small, healthy and no more unwanted kittens being born. She encouraged her friend to do the
same and soon these wee kittens that are gorgeous and unusual in colouring were on their
way to a different and love filled life.

Personality:

Like his eight other siblings, Churchill was a bit timid in the beginning, but that only lasted an
hour or so. His litter mates however took many months to socialized. He was quickly placed
in a home as his personality was charming and he immediately would flip over for a lovely belly
rub. Once in the new home, he was concerned about all the mysterious things there. He had
never been inside with windows, doors and ceilings. Walls lead to different rooms which all
were different and had things he had never seen before. But in time he discovered toys,
would run after anything that moved and was happy to be held and cuddled by his people.
Churchill is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that welcomed him into the family
and keep him safely indoors
