Rescue:
The P family came from a farm just up the road from the Pet Patrol sanctuary. The barn was home
to a variety of animals, with the kittens growing up amongst them. While this may be a common
way of life on a farm, it certainly wasn’t a safe environment for tiny kittens. Pet Patrol initially
received a call saying there were five babies needing help, but when volunteers arrived, they
quickly discovered eight kittens instead—and only three had been secured. Catching the remaining
five turned into quite the rescue mission! Volunteers found themselves lying on the barn floor
amongst manure, reaching underneath wooden skids, and creatively maneuvering through narrow
spaces between enormous bales of straw. A few of the kittens were also suffering from upper
respiratory and eye infections, something that can quickly become serious for kittens so little. One
by one, all eight were finally secured and brought into care with warm beds, proper medical care,
and full bellies.
Personality:
Prius is an outgoing, affectionate little girl who loves being part of whatever is happening around
her. She is usually the first to greet her foster family at the door and is always ready to explore—or
“help” with the housework by wiggling her bum and pouncing on the broom while someone tries to
sweep! Prius is wonderful with the children in her foster home and will actively seek them out for
attention, happily lying on her back in their arms while they rub her belly. When she isn’t exploring
or soaking up affection, she can usually be found curled up with one of her siblings. She really
enjoys feline companionship and would do best with another friendly cat or kitten to cuddle and
play with. And while Prius may naturally have the sweetest little sadlooking eyes, don’t be fooled—
this is one very happy girl who absolutely loves attention! Prius is ready to be adopted into her
forever home—one that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
