Rescue:
Oja had been coming and going on a country property for a few years, and the people living there
often wondered if she had kittens hidden somewhere. One day, she arrived at the back door with
them in tow, as if to say, “Here they are—please help us.” The kittens were in rough shape, their
necks bald, wet, and dirty. It quickly became clear they were suffering from botfly larva embedded
in their skin, leaving them looking sad and unwell. As soon as they arrived at Pet Patrol, the larvae
were carefully removed, and the kittens were given soothing baths and medication. With proper
care and treatment, their health turned around quickly, and soon they began to thrive, safe at last
and free from the painful burden they had been carrying.
Personality:
Opal is a truly special little kitten with the prettiest orange markings on her face, giving her a look as
unique as her personality. She is as adorable as they come, with a gentle and loving nature that
shines through in everything she does. One of her favorite things is being held close and cradled
like a baby—she will happily settle in your arms, purring away and soaking up all the love and
affection you’re willing to give. She’s the kind of cuddler who makes you feel like the most important
person in the world. But don’t let her soft side fool you—Opal is also a playful, lively kitten who
loves a good romp around the room. She delights in chasing and batting at balls, playfully pouncing
with kitten enthusiasm before rolling over with the sweetest little wiggles. After her play sessions,
she’s quick to find a cozy spot (or better yet, your lap) to curl up in for a well deserved nap,
recharging for her next adventure. Opal is the perfect blend of cuddly and playful, and she’s ready
to bring endless love and joy to her forever family. She would love a home that will keep her safe
and loved indoors.
