Followers of the blog will remember the story of Blue. The young black male kitten found in a garden in Brading. About a month ago Miffy arrived at the centre. She was brought in by the people who found Blue. They had managed to catch Miffy in the humane trap they had put in their back garden.
Miffy could well be one of Blue's siblings. We think she is around 16 weeks old and when she first arrived she was such a timid puss. As she was also older than Blue when she came into us this makes harder to socialise her.
Over the last week Miffy (top right photo) has formed an affection for Penny (bottom right photo) who is older than her but is the same size as her. Penny is in the pen next door to Miffy. Penny is one of Queenie's kittens and she has been very poorly with IBS. Miffy loves to watch Penny play and purrs and runs up to the glass when she sees her. Miffy now lets us stroke her and she is beginning to play with toys. The progress we have seen with her is remarkable. We are hoping that we will be allowed to introduce Penny and Miffy together. This will hopefully make Miffy much more sociable and will help her to find a home more quickly. In return this will also give Penny a play mate. So watch out for this space! We will let you know what happens next.
