Hello, my name is: Patrick
Approx. DOB: 10/29/2022
Weight: 10.5 lbs
Sex/breed: Neutered male domestic shorthair
Rescued from: Hoarding case
A few weeks ago, we brought 27 cats into our care from a profoundly sad hoarding situation. These beautiful souls once had a loving owner who struggled with their own mental health. When that owner passed away, the entire feline family was left alone to fend for themselves until help arrived.
Thanks to the generosity of our rescue friends who transferred many of the cats into their own programs, we have 12 remaining in our care. The cats are split among several foster families, who are working slowly and diligently to help them trust again.
Introducing the first three of the 12: Patrick (tuxedo), Cameron (brown tabby), and Katarina (cow spots).
Patrick is the little confidence booster of the group. He'll arch his back in a sweet, flirty request for scratches from his foster mom. He has a loud purr that shows how relieved he is to have love in his life again.
Cameron is the shyest and needs quiet encouragement to engage. He allows gentle handling, which is a huge step for a sweet, scaredy boy.
Katarina is a very watchful kitten and skittish about touch. Her curiosity is starting to win over her hesitation, though! She's recently started tentatively playing with string toys when her foster mom dangles them around.
These sweet kitties thrive in the company of other cats and would do best in quiet homes. Despite the conditions they came from, they use the litter box and scratching posts faithfully. They can go home in pairs or as singles to homes with at least one other friendly feline.
They need patient, gentle adopters who are committed to continuing the slow, loving work of socialization. The reward of watching a shy cat like these finally choose to trust you is truly unparalleled.
Are you ready to offer one, two, or even three of these resilient survivors a peaceful, forever home?
All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.
