Rescue:

Arista’s momma, Amelia, was a girl from the streets. Lost and lonely. Pet Patrol found out
about her when a woman called to say she found a litter of kittens in her window well. She
couldn’t see them from inside the house because that window had been covered up, so
she just stumbled upon them when she was checking out the gardens. She was an elderly
woman and the opportunity to rescue them herself was not possible. One of our volunteers
gladly went over to see them, and happened to know the woman personally. The
kittens were gathered up easily into a carrier including Arista, as they were only a week old.
A humane trap was set up for the mother cat, baited with nice smelly canned cat food. and
she went right in. Right at the same time, a lawn care company showed up and started
spraying the lawn for weeds. Oh my! talk about in the nick of time. The toxic spray would
have caused suffering for the kittens and the mom as well but they are all thriving in one of
our experienced foster homes.

Personality:

Arista and her siblings are lucky to be raised in a home with people who love and care for
them. Their life could have been so different and full of fear. This little one is a delight and
so playful. She is a curious girl and likes to see what is going on at all times. Arista is
known for her chatty nature and tends to growl when she has a toy in her mouth or is expected
to share the canned kitten food. It’s pretty cute. She is a pretty kitty and likes her
toys and people alike. Arista is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will
welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
