Rescue:
One of Pet Patrol‘s volunteers had received a call in regards to some kittens on a farm.
This is a nice tidy property well off the road which provides a safe haven for roaming cats.
However, they felt they had too many at the time. There were at least two or three adults,
and four teenagers and then there were tiny kittens. When our volunteer arrived it was a
very cold rainy fall day and everything felt damp and chilled. Going into the clean barn she
found the kittens were in a cage, surrounded by a cement wall with straw on the floor. It
was very cold in there and the kittens were all cuddled very tightly in one corner, doing their
best to keep themselves warm. Quickly they were placed in carriers and brought back to
the warmth of the sanctuary. Most of them needed some eye medication for a mild infection,
but otherwise they were bright and alert. They had only been fed mothers milk, sparingly,
and when introduced to kitten kibble they devoured it. It has been wonderful to watch
these kittens go from scared and skinny too happy and healthy

door, is a very sweet boy who loves attention. He likes to be where you are. Often found
on the other end of Bubbles chasing, he will join right in on the fun of kitty wrestling. After
a good play he wants to snuggle on your lap while you scratch his ears and under his chin,
this keeps him happy for a long time. Bijou is ready to be adopted into his forever home.
One that will welcome him into the family with a playmate or sibling, and keep him safely
indoors.
