She has been living in our wood store for the last few weeks and for the last two we have been leaving food out. We put details up on local facebook pages, leaflet dropped and put posters up in local shop etc. No-one came forward so I took her to local vet and had her scanned for a chip. Nothing there and the vet told me she has a cigarette burn on her neck Angry

she is beautiful, friendly and sweet- a fluffy tabby with the foxiest brush of a tail. Vet reckons she is around eight months old

we cannot keep her as our boy is an only cat and detests all other cats. He will go walkabout if she stays as he's done that to previous owners. She is very sweet with him and is well socialised

I live just outside Durham- please pm me if you can help

thank you

I love this thread. I hope Miss Heidi will have many happy years in her new home with the stewpots. It is such a lovely (even if slightly mad) thing you’ve done! I can totally understand it though. I saw a photo of one of my cats on the website of the rescue centre and thought to myself ‘that cat is coming to live with me’ and now she does. Oddly, she also looks rather similar to Heidi, but without the white.

I also hope that if she hasn’t already been neutered, she’s not knocked up as that’s the last thing she needs after what she’s been through.

And finally, I hope the daily Mail fuck off!

Best thread ever! Lovely people, gorgeous cats and everyone so kind and supportive! Flowers to all involved

StewPots · 27/11/2017 16:55

Yes she will be getting spayed ASAP as there's many toms round here so not taking chances at all. Poor little thing. She's been asleep under the dining table on a chair all afternoon but she had more food and Dreamies before she dozed off :) no doubt she will be meowing away soon for more food, probably when I've just got in the bath! DH can do the next feed! Grin

It's like having a baby in the house again StewPots☺

@Gatekeeper my mate literally just text me that very same thing right now! But she's been resting this afternoon, I think because of all the charging around she's done since she got here and the journey would have taken it out of her :) I've got a very cute video of her running towards me when I call her and jumping on the sofa and onto my knee but I can't post it :(

Just found this thread!

How lovely! Lucky puss to have found such a lovely new owner.

Good luck to all! x

Ski37 · 27/11/2017 17:21

The most ‘feelgood’ thread ever.....agree this is definitely one for classics! StewPots and gatekeeper you are both fantastic! I agree we need a thread devoted to Heidi .....

Toddlerteaplease · 27/11/2017 18:12

I saw a picture of one of my girls on a random Facebook post, and I just knew they were going to be mine. It was like fate. I wasn't even looking for a cat,

StewPots · 27/11/2017 18:21

I will try and set up a thread for Heidi so poor Gatekeeper doesn't keep getting a load of notifications!

How do I link this one to that one? Can I even do that?

TheSassyAssassin · 27/11/2017 19:01

Yes. Start new thread and then go into it wherever you put it (assuming The litter tray) and copy the new URL address and then paste in a post here. Simples Smile

StewPots · 27/11/2017 19:22

Ok I will try @TheSassyAssassin but I may have lost you at "start a new thread " Grin

If I succeed it will be "The Life Of Heidi" as suggested by many posters Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 27/11/2017 19:27

At the top of this thread you'll see a circle with a 'v' in it. Click on this and there'll be a drop-down menu and you can select start a new thread Smile

The Life Of Heidi! Adventures of a Durham kitty in Devon. http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/thelittertray/3098479-the-life-of-heidi-adventures-of-a-durham-kitty-in-devon

For anyone who is interested, and to help slow Gatekeeper's notifications down now that her good deed is done, Heidi has a thread of her own. I really hope I've done this right, if not someone (@TheSassyAssassin Grin) May need to step in :)

TheSassyAssassin · 27/11/2017 19:35

No help required! SmileStar

overnightangel · 27/11/2017 19:38

👍🏻

MissConductUS · 28/11/2017 01:37

@TheSassyAssassin You are a woman of many talents.☺. I was watching this thread too, but Autumn said no more cats.

SophieLMumsnet · 28/11/2017 09:34

We're just going to shimmy this very lovely thread over to Classics. Flowers

Wolfiefan · 28/11/2017 09:41

Thanks Sophie. The gorgeous Heidi is in her rightful place!

StewPots · 29/11/2017 07:31

@SophieLMumsnet Aww thanks MN and everyone who voted this to go in Classics!

If you want to see how Heidi is getting on (Spoiler - great so far) please click the link I posted previously :)

Yay @Gatekeeper Grin

MrsHathaway · 29/11/2017 07:51

Read this thread in one delightful binge and I'm so glad I did. Many congratulations to the Stew and Gatekeeper families and thank you for being some of God's Better People.

Our own boy is missing atm (day 10) so I particularly susceptible to cat tales.

Will hop over to Heidi thread now with a slightly wet face Grin

QOD · 29/11/2017 08:06

Awwwww 😻

SumThucker · 29/11/2017 13:24

Good Lord this thread...
I'm not even keen on cats as a rule, but this has absolutely been one of the best threads I've ever read on here.

Lovely Gatekeeper wanting her to go to a good home, and the Pots driving all that way for her

Fantastic Smile
