Rescue:

Arik and his family’s journey to safety began during one of the harshest ice storms of the season. A
woman sitting inside her home heard a strange, repetitive sound outside. Investigating, she found
Astra, shivering, soaked, and having just given birth to three tiny kittens. She quickly gathered the
fragile little family inside, setting them up in a cardboard box and later moving them into a closet for
warmth. Unsure what to do, the woman posted on a local social media group for help. Sadly, many
of the responses suggested giving them to farms as mousers or worse, to people looking to profit
off the kittens. Knowing Astra’s sweet and trusting nature, volunteers rushed to step in before they
could fall into unsafe hands. Thanks to quick action and teamwork, Astra and her babies were
rescued just in time. Now safe in Pet Patrol’s care, Astra no longer has to struggle to survive, and
her kittens are growing up knowing only love, comfort, and kindness.

Personality:

Confident and endlessly curious, Arik is the explorer of his litter. He’s always checking out new
spaces, under, over, or through, and his playful imagination knows no bounds. Wrestling with his
brothers or carrying around his favourite toys are top priorities, but he’s also a sucker for belly
scratches when he needs a break. Arik would do well in a lively home with kids, cats, or even dogs
who can match his funloving
energy. Arik is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that
will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
