Rescue:
Liquorice’s mama, Larissa, was first seen last fall visiting one of Pet Patrol’s volunteer feeding
stations set up for stray cats passing through the area. At first, Larissa was very nervous and would
only take a few bites before running away. She disappeared for a time and wasn’t seen again until
winter, when she returned and began meowing to the volunteer, though she was still too shy to
come close. Gradually, she started visiting more often, and it soon became clear she was pregnant.
The volunteer spent time talking gently to her and slowly earning her trust. Larissa began exploring
the insulated outdoor shelters, likely searching for a safe place to have her kittens. When the
volunteer finally reached out to pet her, Larissa gave a small hiss but did not run. It was clear she
remembered the kindness of people, and once she felt that touch again she allowed herself to be
carefully placed in a carrier and brought indoors so she could be safe and warm. Larissa spent
nearly two weeks settling into foster care before finally giving birth to four kittens, including little
Liquorice, safely inside the comfort of her foster home where they could grow up warm, loved, and
protected.
Personality:
Liquorice is the big brother of his litter and fully embraces the role with his affectionate, confident
personality. He absolutely loves cuddles, attention, and body scratches, and he has no problem
hopping up onto the bed to demand snuggles from his people whenever the mood strikes. When
he’s not soaking up affection, Liquorice is usually racing around the house with his siblings,
especially his brother Lorenzo, getting into all kinds of playful kitten mischief. His favourite activities
include proudly carrying fluffy balls around in his mouth, chasing ping pong balls across the floor,
and smacking spring toys around until they inevitably disappear under the couch. Sweet, playful,
and full of personality, Liquorice would love to be adopted alongside Lorenzo or join a home looking
for a funloving feline playmate. Liquorice is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that
will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
