Rescue:

Cruz and his siblings come from a rural barn where the cat population quickly grew out of control. It
all began with one unaltered male cat and a stray female who was abandoned there. Over time, the
situation spiraled, leaving a retired woman and her adult son, who faces health challenges,
struggling to care for an evergrowing
number of cats and kittens. These cats and kittens, ranging
from 15 weeks to 2 years old, are incredibly friendly and well socialized
despite their challenging
start in life. With limited resources and mounting veterinary bills, the family did their best to provide
food, shelter, and medical care for the cats, but it became overwhelming. Recognizing the need for
help, they reached out to local rescues, and that’s when Pet Patrol stepped in. Cruz and his siblings
were among the first to be brought to safety. Now safe in Pet Patrol’s care, they are on the path to
finding loving homes where they will no longer have to endure concrete floors and work benches or
live in uncertainty.

Personality:

Cruz is a ball of fun just waiting to shine. At first, he might hang back and size you up, but show
him a string toy and suddenly, he’s all action! This boy absolutely lives for toys and will throw
himself into the game like he’s training for the Kitten Olympics. Now, about being picked up… Cruz
can definitely be handled, but don’t expect him to stay quiet about it. This dramatic little guy will cry
out in protest with the most theatrical meows, like he’s threatening to call his lawyer over such a
grave injustice. It’s all talk, though, he loves the attention and settles down quickly once the
cuddles start. When playtime is over, Cruz transforms into the sweetest snuggle bug, seeking out
your lap or curling up with one of his favorite feline friends. He especially loves wrestling with his
brother Chip. Cruz would be happiest in a home with a playful kitty companion to keep him
company and boost his confidence. Cruz is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that
will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
