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. Ace 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:

Aria is a princess waiting for her people to come and serve her. She is the most shy of her
siblings but once you have her trust, she cranks her purr-box on high and takes all the love
she can get. Aria is very playful and can usually be found under, or in, the Christmas tree
playing with ornaments. Her favourite place to sleep is anywhere high, where she can look
down upon her kingdom. She would need time to feel safe with her new family but once
she does, she will roll onto her back for belly rubs. She would be great with older respectful
kids or other cats, but she has not had experience with dogs. Aria is ready to be adopted
with a playmate into her forever home – one that will welcome her into the family and keep
her safely indoors.
