Patches - Patches is a very friendly calico cat who adopted the children who my mother babysits. She was obviously once a pet, but either got abandoned or lost. I didn't want to leave her fending for herself, but she was still nursing four kittens. Instead, we took in all five. Since the kittens were about three months old and semi-wild, we had to live trap them. Patches has now been fixed and has found a wonderful new home.
