Rescue:

One of Pet Patrol’s volunteers mentioned a situation on a friend’s country property. The
woman’s husband had recently passed away and she was trying to take care of the property herself. Her family members were concerned for her and were hoping she would
consider moving closer to them, about 45 minutes away. But in many cases, our homes
are not sale-ready immediately, they need some TLC, perhaps fresh paint, repairs and
personal belongings need to be sorted. One of her concerns was the number of cats she
was looking after in the barn. They were friendly, we were told, but also that there were
about 12 or 15 of them. Yikes! The first thing that we asked for was photos of the cats
individually, with their age, colour, male or female and temperament. We were delighted to
see that eight of the cats were babies, but sad to see that they were living in an open box
on the porch. They were not allowed indoors and they would not go to the barn. AJ and
his siblings and cousins came into our care on a cold, wet and windy day. They were a
little worse for wear but have overcome everything and are happy and healthy babies now.

Personality:

AJ is a cuddlebug who loves everyone and is the first to say hello to every new person. Out
of all his siblings, he is the first to find you and cuddle up on your chest or right on your
face! He is very energetic and loves to play with scrunchies and wands and can often be
seen carrying his toys around the house. AJ is ready for his forever family where he can
get loads of love and people to sleep on. He would be great with kids or other cats, but he
has not had experience with dogs. AJ is ready to be adopted into his forever home with a
sibling or playmate. One that will welcome him into the family and
keep him safely indoors.
