Lucy and Lizzie may have a home

Got a call today from a lady I homed 2 cats to, 10 maybe 12 years ago.  Boris and Pip, the names did ring a bell but I couldn't picture them in my head. Anyway she gave me an update, Pip went to the great cattery in the sky two years ago aged 12/13 and Boris two months ago aged 16. Although it was sad to hear they were no longer around, it was good to know they had a long healthy life more or less to the end. 

She's now looking for another two cats and I thought of mum and daughter Lucy and Lizzie immediately.  I took in both during late summer last year and homed them in November to a farmer but Lucy, who is very shy, didn't come out of her shell, hid most of the time during the month she was there and the farmer thought she wouldn't be a good hunter because she's so shy!!! The poor cat didn't even get a chance to prove herself one way or the other. He didn't think they were suitable for his needs so I offered to take them back and he agreed.  At the time I was stuck for space but managed.  

This evening the people called to have a look at Lucy and Lizzie, I think they got a glimpse of Lizzie in the torchlight in the chalet but Lucy did her usual disappearing act.  They said they'd take them.  The cats won't be going for a while yet as the shed they will be living in needs a bit of work so I'll do a homecheck first and go from there but fingers crossed it works for them this time.

When the people were leaving they produced photos of Pip and Boris for me to have a look at which was truly lovely. Great to see the two cats looking so healthy and content in their home. It looks like they had good lives and I'm glad I had a part in that. Some days I love doing this work!
