Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a phone call in late fall when Geisha gave birth to three kittens, Genki, Ginsui,
and Goji. The woman caring for her explained that Geisha had an insulated, heated cat house on
her front porch and was 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 & Ginsui are a sweet and sensitive bonded pair, looking for a patient home. These sisters,
once nervous and shy, are slowly blossoming into affectionate little companions. When you pick up
Genki, she quickly melts into your arms and becomes a steady purr machine, soaking up the
comfort and reassurance. Ginsui is a little more timid, but does love her favourite chin scratches
and ear rubs. Bring out a feather wand or crinkle toy, and their playful spark comes alive as they’ll
eagerly pounce and join the fun. Genki & Ginsui simply need a home filled with love, reassurance,
and kindness where they can continue building confidence and sharing their sweet, affectionate
spirit. Genki & Ginsui are ready to be adopted into their forever home. One that will welcome them
into the family and keep them safely indoors.
