Rescue:
There is a small village just off of one of the main highways where it is not uncommon for
people to know each other and also know their pets. So, when there’s a stray cat everyone
takes note. A couple of women take it upon themselves to rescue whoever comes into their
yard, provide shelter, food and water year round. In the case of Roo’s mother, Roxanne,
she was noticed trotting up the hill following a woman who didn’t seem to realize the small
cat was following her. A short time later, the woman returned and no kitty behind her. Later
in the week a neighbour saw the cat again and she was very pregnant. It was difficult to find
her shelter and it was not near the two women’s homes. Fast forward eight weeks and
Roxanne, her sons Roo and Ricky Robby, all came into Pet Patrol care. A bit frightened at
first, but very happy to be inside where it was safe and warm. They have settled into living
in the house and done extremely well with making sure their caregivers are happy, by purring
contently in their arms.
Personality:
Roo will do back flips for you – literally! He cannot play enough, and he pounces off all four
feet when he plays, hopping along. He is very respectful of other cats and he enjoys their
company. He socialized quickly with us and other cats in the house, and as soon as he sees
a wand toy – its go-time! Once he is tuckered out he loves his cuddles. Roo would do excellently
in a house with other animals (with proper introductions), as he loves a play and cuddle
mate. Roo is ready to be adopted into his forever home, hopefully with a playmate. One
that will welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors
