What does love have to do with it? Everything, according to Halfway Home Pet Rescue in Caribou.
Young Rufus and Mocha were once 3-month old, nasty, feral kittens living under an abandoned trailer in Caribou with nine other feral cats, including their mother.
Today, they are loving, playful 6-month-olds, tamed and sterilized, loving every day in their new forever home. They are also enjoying a lifestyle of a constant warm shelter, regular meals and play dates with the owner’s golden retriever and an adult cat named Sylvie.
Their story started this fall, when a rescue team from Halfway Home trapped the kittens and their litter mates with humane traps. They are all now safe and, as former Executive Director Norma Milton said, they “will never be a coyote breakfast.”
All cats and kittens at the pet rescue are spayed or neutered before adoption.
“The pet rescue believes in practicing what we preach with the “Fix the Future” sterilization theme,” Milton said.
