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:

Moose may be one of the smallest of his siblings, but he is absolutely full of personality. This sweet
boy has the biggest, most expressive eyes that almost look cartoon­like, and he has a way of
staring right into your soul. Moose is a gentle yet playful kitten who loves being close to his people
and will happily follow you around to see what you are doing. He enjoys playtime with his friends
and toys, but he also has a soft, affectionate side and loves a good belly rub. Hand­raised around
children and used to being handled often, Moose is a well­socialized little love who is comfortable
with attention and affection. Raised with many other kittens, he is used to companionship and
would likely enjoy another feline friend in his forever home. Moose would like to be adopted into a
home that will keep him safely indoors.
