Rescue:

During the late spring and early summer months of this year a lot of the rescue cats coming
into our care were black in coat colour. So, it was no surprise when we received a mother cat
and her four kittens, all black and incredibly cute. . Such beautifully, striking and gorgeous cats
they are. The lady who had been feeding them said that the mother cat appeared one day
under her deck. She was quite skittish and uncertain, so they thought she was feral (wild) and
unapproachable. She was concerned about rescuing the kittens and didn’t want the mother to
attack her. But none of that happened. Lady Marmalade, as she was dubbed by her foster
home,is actually quite friendly and very happy to be indoors and safe. Living outside, dealing
with ever changing temperatures and weather conditions, food shortage and the high possibility of becoming prey, is not an easy life at all. But to be rescued and have everything taken
care of is quite a relief to the mother cats. All are happy and healthy and in a doting foster
home.

Personality:

Such a beautiful cat, with her glossy black coat and shining gold eyes, Lady Marmalade has
gone from rags to riches, from the street to a nice home. She is a lovely little cat, but it did
take time to gain her trust and she is slowly coming around to her caregivers and enjoying her
life indoors. She has taken to sleeping on the kitchen chair so that she can see what is happening in the house, and although she may not join in, she is no longer running and hiding.
Lady Marmalade has started to explore toys, the cat climber and the view outside. She is
ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep
her safely indoors.
