Rescue:
There is a very kind woman who lives in a small village who has, for years, been working on
controlling the cat colony that migrates to her property. They come from the neighbour’s horse
farm and it is located kitty corner to her back lot. They have five acres of abandoned trailers,
skids of wood, sheds and dumpsters and a single story barn where the cats house themselves
in the winter months. Initially very few of the cats had been spayed or neutered, the cats would
naturally become pregnant and the mother cats would come to her property where she has an
empty chicken coop. There they have their kittens (Simon and his siblings) in privacy and
away from predators. She checks the little coop often and once kittens are found she brings
them and their moms into safety and then on to Pet Patrol. Over the past few years she has
had more than forty cats from the neighbour’s property altered; as they were not involved with
controlling the over population of cats on their property.
Personality:
Simon like his four other tuxedo siblings look alike, and are all purring machines, but their
personalities are very different. This little guy is the smallest of the team and he needed some
extra TLC to help him grow. What he lacks in size he makes up for in personality and a very
loud meow – he is a big talker. Simon will head butt and side swipe his foster family and mew
letting them know he wants to be picked up and cuddled.. He likes to be held close in the
crook of your neck, snuggling in contently. Like his siblings he is just as active and just as
playful. He gets right in on the games of Chase, Hide and Seek and Pounce, and scrambling
up the cat tree is very exciting. Simon is ready to be adopted into his forever home with a
playmate. One that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
