counting down to holidays now!
had a busy week last week for homing - it was great! I homed 2 cats (amazing for me..) both on the same day!
Jess, who had only been in about 10 days went to a nice young couple from Newport. Jess was only 9mths old & came into care due to the fact that her previous owner had had a parrot which was allowed to fly around free & when Jess chased it (as any cat would do) she used to get shouted at & chased by her owner. Hence she was a pretty nervous little cat. The adoptees had not other pets or children & wanted a cat that would stay in, as Jess had never been out it seemed ideal. It is great when a cat has a home practically as soon as they come into care - unusual but great.
Then there was Georgina who had been with us many months, she had been found on a piece of waste ground along with her small kittens. The kittens were brought in & Georgina had to be trapped, we were not sure if she would turn out to be friendly or would need an outdoor home but she became a lovely, affectionate cat. She was so thin when she came to me, once her kittens had been homed but time, eating lots & no kittens to sap her strength meant that she out on weight & became very healthy. She went to an elderly gentleman in Blackwood, who had taken in a stray who was very, very nervous & in a bad way but had had to have her put to sleep. He really wanted a quiet loving companion & Georgina fitted the bill.
Fingers crossed they are both ok.
Also did a home visit tonight for someone interested in Kitty, a 11yr old tabby female who has been in care since June. The girl is coming to see her on Sunday, so fingers crossed on that one too! not used to so many going at once, or even the potential of homing!
lets hope that the summer drought for homing cats has passed
