Rescue:
Pet Patrol was alerted to a rural property where the number of cats had quietly grown beyond what
one family could manage. After an elderly woman passed away, her daughter inherited the
farmhouse, barn, drive shed, chicken coop, and the many cats her mother had lovingly cared for
over the years. As time went on, it became clear that keeping up with spaying and neutering had
become impossible, and by the time help arrived, there were 12 adult cats and 19 kittens living
throughout the property. While the buildings themselves were a little worn and cluttered, the cats
had managed to create cozy little shelters for themselves amongst the farm equipment, stacked
furniture, boxes, and warm straw scattered through the sheds and coop. A heat lamp in the chicken
coop helped keep many of them warm, and despite their circumstances, the cats were healthy,
friendly, and eager for attention. Volunteers were greeted by affectionate adults weaving around
their legs while tiny kittens peeked out shyly from behind abandoned fridges, stacked lawn chairs,
and hidden corners before slowly venturing out to investigate. They were safely brought into Pet
Patrol’s care, where they could begin their next chapter in loving foster homes.
Personality:
Monkey is a little spitfire with a big personality packed into a small body. She has been the
spunkiest kitten right from day one, and her adorable little white toe beans match the fun, funky
personality she shows in everything she does. Monkey is a tiny firecracker who loves to play and is
often the first to chase after anything that moves, whether it is a toy, a string, or even your toes. She
brings so much energy and entertainment to the room, but once she has had her fun, she is happy
to curl up for a cozy nap on your lap. Handraised around children and used to being handled often,
Monkey is a wellsocialized, confident girl. Raised with many other kittens, she is used to
companionship and would likely enjoy another feline friend in her forever home. Monkey would like
to be adopted into a home that will keep her safely indoors.
