Rescue:
Pet Patrol has many supporters and many situations were cats are living on country properties. Those that are lucky enough to have a low cost spay neuter clinic in their area are able
to have their barn cats altered. This controls their colony so that they don’t have an abundance
of unwanted kittens born yearly. Although cats can be considered a dime a dozen in the most
remote places, we don’t need to have more born and continue the problem. In the case of
Sweetie she was a cat that would avoid the live trap at all costs. She was a timid barn cat,
and over time she showed what a friendly girl she was, but by that time she was heavily pregnant with a litter of five kittens. The farmer was sure that he heard the wee cries of new borns
one day, and finally found them in a huge old fountain that is stored in the corner of the barn. it
is difficult to get to the inside of this garden feature, but just big enough for Sweetie, thus
making it a safe place to give birth. Soon this little feline family came into Pet Patrol care.
Personality
Our little beach themed girl Splash is chatty; she meows at her foster mom when she comes
into the kitten room if she doesn’t immediately give her pets or enough of them. She likes to
sleep on blankets with her siblings, curled up in a ball of fur and purr, but if there is a comfy
human lap, she will make herself comfortable there too. She likes to chase balls and wand
toys, jumping and dashing after them. Splash is ready to be adopted into her forever home.
One that will welcome her into the family with a playmate or sibling, and keep her safely indoors.
