Captain and Poppy

Looking for love

Regular followers of the blog will remember Captain and Poppy. We made this gentle pair our new resident cats a few weeks ago. At first things seemed to be running smoothly and Captain settled in so well. It was Poppy that seemed unsure about her new surroundings.

One day we came in to find that Poppy was not there. We searched high and low for her but we couldn't find her anywhere. So we made poster and flyers in the hope that someone might spot her. 

The following day we managed to get her back by pure luck. Jo the Deputy Manager was on her way home when the called out Poppy's name and got a response. She was behind a wall opposite the cattery. Jo and Emily climbed over the wall and found Poppy hiding in the back garden of someone's property. 

The decision was made a few days later that we were going to put them both up for adoption again. It really is the best thing for them. Poppy was not happy and she ran away , we are so lucky to have her back. Not all of the cats we make residents stay as residents. On this occasion unfortunately it just didn't work out for them. 

This week Jo and Emily went to Isle of Wight Radio in the hope that we could find them a home. IW radio DJ Heather McCallum fell in love with them. So far sadly we haven't had any response. If you know anyone who might like to adopt this gorgeous pair of cats please spread the word. They are gentle, loving lap cats who deserve to spend their last years happy in a new home.
