Rescue:

Marilee is not the first cat to show up at this particular property, located in a small village away
from the city limits. She, like the other mother cats, came to the feeding station on the back
deck and was happy to have the food and fresh water readily available. She seemed to be
taking refuge under their back deck, but eventually moved to a covered window well with a
heat lamp in it. This is specifically set up for cats in need, during the worst weather and when
they have no place else to go. Marilee had her litter of kittens there as well, and from the
basement window the couple were able to keep tabs on her and study her routine. In return
Marilee could study them and become comfortable with their voices and movements. Soon
after she was rescued and the kittens easily picked up and placed in a carrier and off to a
foster holme with Pet Patrol. All have been thriving in a home with other resident cats and kind
children, safely indoors and out of the elements. .

Personality:

Marilee is an easy going cat who likes to be around people. She is not quite a lap cat yet but
likes to be pet or picked up with gentle hands. Neck rubs and ear scritches are favoured and
a good back massage goes a long way. Marilee loves to stare out the window, watching birds
and people walk by, taking in the change of season without the fear of being outside and
abandoned again. She is an easy going cat and uses her scratching post, plays gently with
toys and is starting to come into her own since her kittens are grown. This pretty girl is ready
to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her
safely indoors. .
