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 abox outside
on the open porch. 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.pen box on the porch. They were not allowed indoors and they
would not go to the barn.
Personality:
Aslan is the smallest, but most fierce of his siblings. He is the instigator for playtime and is
usually in the lead when running through the house. More than once he has been found
asleep in the middle of a room with his paw stretched out on a toy. If one of his siblings is
getting scratches, he will push his way in to get his. Aslan loves to cuddle and will come to
find a lap once he’s exhausted. He would be great kids or other cats, but he has not had
experience with dogs. Aslan is ready to be adopted with a sibling or playmate to a forever
home that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
