Rescue:

Meredith, a grey tabby, first appeared one winter at a woman’s home, drawn in by the food she put
out. In February, she was caught but managed to escape, only to return again in late April, very
pregnant. Two and a half months later, she was trapped again, but it was clear she was still
nursing. Released to find her kittens, she led her rescuer to a hole under a neighbour’s cement
porch. Once home to a raccoon or skunk, the hollow space had become Meredith’s safe nursery. All
seven kittens, just six weeks old, were rescued and taken to the city shelter. Sadly, because they’d
never been handled, the shelter staff didn’t have volunteers experienced enough to socialize them,
so they were spayed/nuetered and eartipped
before being returned to their rescuer. Now, in Pet Patrol’s
care with an experienced foster, these kittens have blossomed, learning that people mean love,
food, and safety.

Personality:

Magpie is a fluffy, longhaired
beauty with a big personality to match her looks. She’s a bundle of
playful energy, especially when the laser pointer or toys come out, and she’ll happily chase them
until she flops for a rest. Magpie is also a little chatterbox who loves to “talk” to anyone willing to
listen, making her a delightful and entertaining companion. She is ready to be adopted into her
forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
