Rescue:

Cardi and her four siblings/cousins were brought to Pet Patrol unexpectedly. We received a
phone call saying that a woman, who had many, many cats in her home, was in the nearby town
looking for a rescue to help take in some of the cats. She had five in the car. We gladly took
them in, not knowing what she would do if we didn’t, but we were already near capacity and unsure
how to house five more. We tried to find out the full story and it seems that these cats were from
an extreme hoarding situation. The house was so badly cluttered and infested with bugs, rotting
food and feces that animal welfare was called to investigate. In the end Pet Patrol received five
cats, two other rescues took eight each and a city shelter took almost twenty. They are all lovely
cats, friendly and gentle, but all had upper respiratory that had been ongoing for a while. The
cats responded extremely well to the medical care provided and are now ready for adoption

Personality:

Cardi took a little longer to adjust to her new environment, but was chatting away right from the
beginning and not shy. She is happy and loves to be pet and brushed, flopping over for attention.
Like most long haired cats she likes to be pampered and purrs deeply when you use a brush or
comb her now glossy black coat. It looks so much better than when she first came into our
care. Cardi is gentle and sweet, does not mind being on your lap and cuddles right in. A little
unsure of being picked up straight from the floor, but that will come in time with trust. She is
playful and likes anything with catnip and toys that are interactive with her people, like the wand
toy. Cardi is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the
family and keep her safely indoors
