One more to a new home!

Milly, a lovely cat belonging to a friend who for health reasons can no longer care for her, went to her new home today.  Milly was born in 2000 so a millennium cat, hence her name and so 10 years old.  It is so difficult to find homes for older cats. 80% of the people who call want kittens, it's such a shame when there are so many gorgeous fabulous cats of all ages looking for homes who would be the most loving pets.  But really anything over 2 years old and it's a struggle.  Of course people want a cat who will live for years but there's no guarantee with cats and kittens of any age.  I've rehomed young kittens who've got killed on the road after a few months.

So when a man phoned looking for a cat and said the famous words: "I don't care what age it is." Well, I did a little dance and thought of Milly immediately. So off she went today to a lovely home in the countryside to one adoring owner. The only question mark is whether she and the dog-next-door will get on but we're doing all we can to ensure that they will.  They'll be introduced via a dog pen over a period of time so fingers crossed all goes well.
