Millie. Waiting expectantly in a rather chilly cage at Cuckfield Cattery. We actually went to look at Murray(thankfully Murray has also found a home). Millie had found life in her previous home rather stressful. She had a flea allergy which left her with her fur falling out, and need regular shots and a special diet. Because of that she was often overlooked and was finding life in the cattery rather stressful. Such a little sweetheart. We felt we could do something about that. After a finger-numbing January visit to the cattery and a lovely visit with Liz to meet each of the inhabitants we talked over merits of all those we had seen. The contenders
- Murray was a large ginger tom, very friendly if you offered him food but a bit confused between food and fingers.
- Tiggy a younger ginger tom, also very friendly and lovely stripy head markings
- Two inseparable black and white brothers
- and then there was Millie
Murray and the brothers were ruled out, someone else was interested in Murray, and we didn’t want two cats. That left us with the difficult choice between Millie and Tiggy. Tiggy was younger and more lively. Millie was a gentle cat Along the journey up the A23 we debated. The final decision turned out to be fairly simple. Maggie had lost her heart to a little black cat and would be heart broken if we didn’t bring her home. I vowed to promote Tiggy to my friends and sent an email to Sue at the charity offering Millie a home. Less than a day later we had an email back to arrange a home visit and the relief of seeing ‘reserved’ added to Millie’s page.
Now we had to wait for a home visit to check it was safe for Millie to come home with us.
