Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a call from retired woman who was active in cat rescue up north.
She still gets inquiries from people desperate to find help for the cats in their care and all she
can do is contact other rescues and see if they can take them in. In the case of Rosie, she was
given to an older woman because ‘she had cats’. People have few resources up there, vet
costs are high, and there are no city shelters near by. So what do you do with a cat that you
can no longer keep? Some people advertise on social media or look for someone that they
know who has cats. That’s how Rosie ended up with the retired lady. The older woman, of
course took the cat in, loving cats, but she was not in any financial position to be able to look
after her properly. Her home is cluttered and there are many cats there now. Help is desperately
needed. When Rosie was brought into Pet Patrol care we immediately noticed that she
was very pregnant (not her first litter) and within a week or so gave birth to five lovely kittens.
Personality:
Rosie has shown to be such a gentle and caring mom to her five kittens. She is the first one at
the door to greet you, waiting patiently for you to sit down and tell her about your day. She
enjoys you petting her soft fur and doesn’t say no to chin scratches either. She will intently
listen and respond with happy purrs. She is starting to explore toys now that her kittens are
weaned and off to their new homes. Her curiosity is inspired and she has enjoys some nice
catnip mice, rolling around with them on the floor in a beam of sun streaming through the
window. She is a beautiful and unique kitty and ready to be adopted into her forever home.
One that will welcome into the family and keep her safely indoors.
