Rescue:

In the summer Pet Patrol had received a phone message from a real estate sales person
about a litter of seven kittens. They were located on a country property, that in the past was a
huge auction house, The people were now retired and have sold the property, they were moving out of the area and didn’t have time to deal with this new litter of babies. The mother cat,
called Junior (now called Katra), was allowed free roam of the property and was born there
herself the summer before, but she had never been to the vet and was not spayed. In the
summer she gave birth to eight kittens, one did not survive and the others may not have if the
owners had not stepped in to support them. A better cat house was provided as they were
born in the wood pile, and kept them warm and dry inside the building. Contact with the family
had failed over the last few months to bring the cats in sooner, but now it was crunch time and
a place for them had to be found. Over one weekend all the kittens arrived, including Kricket, and
the mother cat as well

Personality:

We have been very impressed with the calm and gentle nature of these young cats. They
were picked up and pet, cuddled and cooed to by the owners of the property. Kricket is quite
laid back and easy going, good with new people and the other cats in the sanctuary. She is
interested in everything going on around her, and not shy around new people and has settled
in quickly . Her curiosity really came out when she saw all the toys and she watched the other
cats with great interest to see how to play with them. Kricket is ready to be adopted into her
forever home with a sibling or playmate. One that will welcome her into the family and keep
her safely indoors.
