Rescue:

Pet Patrol received a call from a, now 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 Roots’s
momma 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 (Ritz, Rascal, Rudy, Rolo and Roots)

Personality:

Roots is a cuddle bug, happy to be curled up on your lap ready to binge watch Netflix with you.
She can be picked up and carried around on to the next couch you want to cuddle up on with
her. But beware after a long nap, she is ready to play and spring on that toy mouse sitting
there. The mouse stands no chance next to Roots. She is all round a great little cat and ready
to be adopted into her forever home with a sibling or playmate. One that will welcome her into
the family and keep her safely indoors.
