Rescue:
A very concerned call came into the Pet Patrol line about a pretty momma cat named Gizmo.
She had been noticed in the neighbourhood for quite some time, and appeared to be pregnant. She was being fed, but because she was skittish (wary of predators and people) they
were unable to rescue her. Trying to hand catch a cat is never a good idea unless they are
friendly and can be picked up. Gizmo eventually had her kittens in a cluttered corner of their
\side yard and were noticed when they were about three weeks of age. They counted seven
little ones who were tiny and curious. The babies were easy to rescue, but Gizmo was very
smart and avoided the trap, the tempting canned food and even a drop trap. The kittens, too
young to be away from her, were taken to a foster home, a vet tech, and bottle fed until they
were weaned. Eventually, three weeks later, Gizmo went into the humane trap and onto safety.
She has been adopted by a family friend and is living a good and healthy life. The kittens have
all thrived and are ready for their new lives.
Personality:
Playful just like his name sake, Hobbes loves to wrestle with his siblings, jumps around like a
little tiger and sneak attacks his litter mates all day long. Hobbes is a very curious little guy
and when his foster mom opens his enclosure, he is ready to bolt out the door to explore the
rest of the house. He is usually the first one to see what is going on around him, as he is very
observant. This little orange fella loves sleeping on top of his kitty ottoman and his favorite toy
is the colourful plastic spring toy. Hobbes is ready for playtime with you, and his forever home.
One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
