Rescue:
Suddenly, one afternoon in the fall, there was a knock at the door of the sanctuary. A young
woman had brought us four little kittens who were just three weeks of age in a cardboard box.
Three black and one little gray. Where is your mom? As she explained, they belonged to a cat
named Kitty Kitty who they have been feeding but she had rejected them. Apparently, the
kittens were born under a deck, but this momma cat moved them to the neighbours’ barn
where they would have more warmth and be out of the cold. The people at that farm discovered them and did not want her there and asked her owners to come and take them back.
Knowing that mother cats will follow her kittens anywhere they retrieved the babies and put
them back underneath the deck again. But unfortunately, Kitty Kitty did not want them. The
kittens were outside for an entire night by themselves and in the morning the owners knew they
had to do more. They bundled them up in a cardboard box and showed up at the sanctuary
door unannounced. Of course, we could not say no, but they were too young to eat on their
own and needed a surrogate mom which luckily, we had. All four have thrived in our care.
Personality:
Gabbo is a pretty little girl, chatty, and will let you know what she wants – to be picked up ,
cuddled or time for a treat. She is a snuggly cat who will not butt in when it is time for affection
from her caregivers, but will instead politely wait her turn, so it is important to include her in
with any activity. Games of Tag and PeekaBoo from a cardboard box are exciting and so is
leaping and chasing the wand toy. She would do well with another kitty or sibling her age, as
she likes to snuggle up with her siblings and have long naps in the cat bed. Gabbo is ready
to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her
safely indoors.
