Patch

Patch came to Wild Pines alongside his canine companion, Belle, after their beloved caretaker learned that her time was limited. Patch had spent nearly his entire life with her, having been welcomed into her home as a kitten and loved through every stage of his life. He knew her routines, her voice, and the comfort of a home where he had always belonged. When she learned that she would no longer be able to care for Patch and Belle, one of her greatest concerns was making sure they would have a safe and loving place to go. Over the months that followed, we spent time getting to know both animals, learning their personalities and routines so their eventual transition would be as gentle as possible. When the time came, we welcomed them into the Wild Pines family with the promise that they would continue to receive the love and care they had always known.

Patch is a wonderfully sweet, quiet old gentleman who appreciates the simple comforts of life. He enjoys peaceful surroundings, familiar routines, and the freedom to spend his days exactly as he pleases. But don't let his age or his occasionally crusty, dusty appearance fool you! Patch has a mischievous side that makes an appearance whenever he's feeling particularly playful. One of his favorite tricks is sneaking up on unsuspecting people and giving their ankles a little bite, just to keep everyone on their toes! Despite the enormous changes he's experienced, Patch has settled into sanctuary life beautifully, bringing his own unique combination of sweetness, independence, and unexpected humor. We know that no one could ever replace the person who loved him for so many years, but we're honored to give him a home where he can continue being his wonderfully quirky self.
