Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a phone call in late fall when Geisha gave birth to three kittens. The woman
caring for her explained that Geisha had an insulated, heated cat house on her front porch and was
well known and friendly within the neighbourhood. This was Geisha’s second litter, and while
bringing the family into care was discussed early on, the woman felt they would manage outdoors.
Pet Patrol encouraged moving them into the garage so they could at least be protected from the
wind while still using their heated shelter. Weeks passed, and it wasn’t until the kittens were around
ten weeks old that the call finally came. By then, Geisha and her babies had endured over two
months of a brutal winter—facing wind, rain, freezing temperatures, and deep snow. Unfortunately,
the kittens had very limited human handling during that time, meaning socialization would take
patience and time. Through it all, Geisha remained her happy, easygoing self, and once in care,
this little family could finally begin a safer chapter with the support they needed.
Personality:
Genki is a lovely grey and white girl who adores cuddling with her sister, Ginsui. Once a nervous
and shy kitten, she is slowly blossoming into an affectionate little companion. When you pick her
up, she quickly melts into your arms and becomes a steady purr machine, soaking up the comfort
and reassurance. Though she can still be timid at times, Genki is learning that gentle scratches,
warm laps, and quiet cuddles are some of the best parts of life. She thrives in calm moments and
enjoys feeling safe and close to her people. Watching her confidence grow has been a joy, and with
continued patience and love, she will only shine brighter. Genki is ready to be adopted into her
forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
