We're getting a new cat tomorrow!!


I know we decided that 2 is enough after Misty and Sasha died, but we have decided to get another addition to our feline family. We think it will be gerat for Rachel to have something to focus on too. On Monday, Rachel and I visited a local Animal Sanctuary and also the RSPCA branch in Leicester. At the sanctuary we fell in love with Harvey, a 6 year old male, he is completely black with lovely orange eyes, he is very affectionalte. A the RSPCA we fell in love with Suzie (although we would change her name to Maisie) an 8 year old light grey & while neutered girl. Again she is very friendly, has been shaved as she was very matted. She has been kept in a shed, poor girl, so I would love to show her some home comforts.

I was very keen on a BSH, especially after seeing/hearing about Dawn's gorgous cats, but my daughter really feels she wants a rescue and I am happy with this. We don't want a kitten, as gorgeous as they are, but they always find homes.

Will let you know tomorrow, we are going to see both cats again and see if we can make a decision!

How exciting Kim, does this mean if you can't decide which cat to have tomorrow, you may come home with two?

How exciting for you, we have two rescue cats, mother and daughter ( we didnt breed the litter - just rescued both )
KiKi the mum is ment to be a BSH cross selkirk rex (sp)?
She doesnt look anything like a BSH though, shame as i luuuuuuuuurve them.. The dad to the kitten was meant to have been full BSH - again Soul looks nothing like one.


Look forward to seeing pictures

That is so exciting and I agree I think animals can be a wonderful thing to focus on. Taking care of the new addition and getting them settled and such will probably be a welcome and healthy distraction..and a homeless rescue will get a new home. It's win/win, really. Thanks for adopting a rescue can't wait to hear all about whoever you bring home

Great news all around Kim. Very much looking forward to hear whether you've been able to choose or whether you've followed your heart and taken both on

Smashing news Kim and lovely kind of you to adopt a rescue ( maybe both ) Rachel will find a channel for her emotional needs in caring for the new babes.

Both sound very attractive and can't wait to see pics
