Rescue:

For quite a few years one of Pet Patrol’s foster homes had been visiting a friends family farm.
She had not been there for quite some time as her friend had moved to another city. Reunited
again they decided to go back for a quick visit and our volunteer was quite surprised at what
she found. There were so many more cats there now, as opposed to the nicely controlled
colony of five or six, a few years back. There were about twenty cats, and most were not
spayed or neutered. The new owners were not doing much to control the overpopulation. Little
Artimus came into our care with three other kittens who are not in great health. Their diet was
poor at the farm, low quality and they had to squeeze in between the adults to get to the food
dish. Some times they were pushed away. They would have had parasites as well and generally
did not look good. Their chance of survival was very low. When the kittens arrived in our
care they were dewormed right away and when presented with proper kitten food, they ate
and ate and ate. There was a remarkable difference in them the next day with full bellies and
a good night sleep. They felt so much better, were lively and obviously very happy.

Personality:

Artemis had a twin sister at the barn, who has already been chosen for adoption. Not unusual
for a kitten with the Siamese features to be adopted quickly, as it is quite a fluke that they even
appear in a litter. Usually, the mother cat is black and white, and then, once and a while a little
blue eyed beauty appears in one of her litters. Artemis a sweet little cat, who had done extremely
well in her foster home. She is super playful, adventurous, loving, and gentle. She
makes herself at home quickly and without much hesitation, and will do well in a home with
other kitties as well. Artimus is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome
her into the family and keep her safely indoors
