Rescue:
Pet Patrol received a message from a woman who lives out of town. She runs a cat rescue
organization there and had received calls from three different people about a colony of approximately
35 cats on one property, mostly kittens. The cats were fed and had fresh water,
but shelter was at a minimum and the environment was treacherous for kittens. She had sent
out notices to about forty different rescues to see if some could help, just taking a few cats
here and there makes a big difference. None of the local rescues or city shelters were able to
help her at that time. Pet Patrol was able to take in four kittens (Tasha being one of them), and
this woman organized a relay along the 401 to meet rescue volunteers to transport the cats to
their new shelters. She had at least five stops on her journey which is extremely time consuming
and dedicated. Koodos to her. All the kittens were fairly social but happy little cats. There
was also a pregnant female who gave birth within a weeks’ time and had seven lovely kittens!
All are doing well in their foster homes, happy and healthy and ready for their forever families
Personality:
Named after Star Trek’s Tasha Yar this little kitty has come a long way in her socializing and
being ready for adoption. Initially she was the most antisocial kitten of the four brought into Pet
Patrol care, but with time and patience, other affectionate cats and a passive resident dog in
her foster home, she has done well. She is like all other kittens, quite playful and active. Her
favourite toys are those that dangle from a wand and anything she can chase. She is fun
loving and happy to be with other cats. Tasha is now a people cat, although a bit timid, she
can be pet and is learning about laps. She is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One
that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
