Rescue:

PetPatrol received a message from a woman who does cat rescue of her own on a small
scale. She usually looks after the strays that show up at the local stockyards, and in this case a
plant nursery. The man had mentioned that he had a female cat who had had yet another litter
of kittens and he wanted to make sure that they were safe and would not linger and become
feral as have a few others. Apparently, this mother cat is very wild herself and very wise to the
humane trap. He has made many, many attempts at rescuing her but to no avail. Two of her
kittens from last year are still running loose and he is making every effort to make sure that
they are spayed or neutered as well. He welcomes them to continue living on his property, to
be fed and sheltered, but just no more kittens, please.

Personality:

Izumi is a quiet and calm cat who has been easy to have in her foster home. She was friendly
from the time she arrived, but did take a couple weeks to warm up to the family home. At first,
she found safety in the room they started her in, one that is comfortable and where she could
feel secure, but now she is strolling through the house and visits them throughout the day. She
is a low maintenance cat, but will meow to let you know she wants some attention. She has
been gentle with the children in the home; however, she doesn’t seem to enjoy too much noise
or activity. It would be nice for Izumi to have a forever home that is quiet and easy going. One
that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
