Rescue:

A woman who lives in a small town, about 20 minutes off the main highway, has rescued many
cats over the years. Because this town only has three or four streets, the cats that are coming
in from the local farms wander through the town and are noticed. Food and water is put out for
them, and in some places there is shelter as well. One day a little cat, now known as Tinker,
appeared on the woman’s property. It was late at night and the weather was starting to turn
colder as winter was approaching. Little Tinker was asking for help. She sat a distance from
the woman to start, stared at her and then started to meow. If a cat is purely feral, they don’t
know to ask people for help, so for the kitty to be talking to a person is definitely communication.
Tinker was very easily brought into Pet Patrol care and immediately started eating and
showing us her wonderful happy-go-lucky self.

Personality:

Tinker is a sweetheart. She came into the sanctuary asking a lot of questions, as she was
not sure what was going on. One minute she was outside in the snow eating at the feeding
station and the next minute she is picked up, put in a carrier and driving somewhere. But it took
her no time at all to settle into the sanctuary. It was warm, there were comfy dry beds, lots of food,
fresh water and the other cats appeared to be happy and relaxed. Tinker never hid or seemed
upset. Since then, she has shown us her loving and gentle personality. She is discovering toys
and it is wonderful to see her carefree now. She is ready to be adopted into her forever home.
One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
