Rescue:

A woman had left a message on the Pet Patrol line just saying her name

and her phone number and to call her. That was all.  It was a mystery

because most people are quite chatty and wanting to adopt a cat from us

or they have questions and are seeking information. In calling her we

did find a very sincere woman who needed to find a new home for her two

cats, Nova and Chip,  just eight months of age at the time. She had

recently moved to the area from the other side of Canada and was told by

the landlord that she was not allowed to have cats in the house. They

had not been fixed, had never been to a vet and were at the age to breed

or start spraying in the house. All being undesirable to a property

owner.  The woman lived in a small village and meet up with our

volunteer who brought both cats into our care. She was very grateful for

our help.

Personality:

Nova and Chip are lovely little cats who are used to people, dogs,

teenagers and changing of their environment.  They have been in a car

for a long drive, introduced to a new home, and lived in an apartment

with an adult, a teenager and several dogs.  They fared very well with

all those changes, and now in a foster home they remain curious and

affectionate.  Both are easy to be picked up, carried and like to be pet

or brushed on your lap.  They cuddle up at bedtime and settle in for the

night.  Chip loves to play with water dripping from the tap and because

he was taken from his mother too young he suckles on blankets. He loves

his sister Nova, even though she is a little more reserved than he is.

Our thoughts are that a quieter home will bring out the best in her.

Nova and Chip are ready to be adopted into their forever home together.

One that will welcome them into the family and keep them safely indoors.
