Rescue:
Kovu, Katniss, and Kepler came to Pet Patrol after volunteers were alerted to an orange mother cat
who had given birth to kittens inside an old shed in a tiny village where everyone seemed to know
one another. The elderly homeowner had no idea the little family was living there, as she had not
been inside the shed for many years. The building itself was badly weathered, with sunlight shining
through the wooden walls and years of clutter scattered throughout. Old appliances, a mattress,
scrap metal, and debris filled the space, creating countless hiding spots for the frightened cats. Pet
Patrol volunteers quickly developed a rescue plan, setting humane traps baited with smelly cat food
and spending hours quietly waiting in the shed for the kittens to appear. Because the kittens were
too small to trigger a traditional trap, a remotecontrolled trap was used instead. Before long, this
little family was safely rescued.
Personality:
Kovu is a gentle, timid little boy who is still learning what love and trust are all about. While he can
be a bit reserved at first, his curious nature always gets the best of him, and he loves watching all
the excitement happening around him. Whether it’s other kittens playing, people coming into the
room, or a new toy to investigate, Kovu is always quietly taking it all in. Every day he grows a little
braver, and with continued love, patience, and affection, he’s sure to blossom into an incredibly
sweet and devoted companion. Kovu does well with other cats and children and would thrive in a
home with another feline friend who can help build his confidence. He’s looking for a loving indooronly home where he can continue discovering just how wonderful life with a family can be.
