can anyone give this sweet little girl a new home?

[Gatekeeper]

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

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

This should have been filmed imagine what a great tv programme it’d have made!

Hahah oh god no @overnightangel I look bloody awful! Very little sleep + awful hair as DH forgot my hairbrush (rah nice one DH, cheers) +Basic make up = a very ropey looking me but yes I suppose this story is a good one!

My DD15 thinks we are completely mental

Never mind StewPots, I usually look ropey and I NEVER brush my hair.

Just popping on to say how much I love this thread.

So many moaners and misery guys on MN these days. Threads like this really restore my faith. ❤️❤️

I just love how everyone's loved this thread and it's cheered everyone up :) I like how even non cat owners/lovers are getting involved too :)

Me too Stew, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Whereabouts are you Stew?

@Gatekeeper just about to approach Scotch Corner having a quick pit stop then back on again :)

Can we do a quick "sod off Daily Mail" blitz on the thread please

Lovely thread, lovely cat and 2 lovely ladies excited for you Stew!

Eee, I cannot settle. If I had a flower arrangement I would be tweaking it and checking for dust

Oh this is sooooo nice

Heidi hi!

HADAWAY AN' SHITE DAILY MAIL

Hahah @Gatekeeper aww that's like me I go round moving ornaments etc! Missed Scotch Corner services due to roadworks and is getting confused about exits so still on for midday!!

Better move dh"s pants drying near thw fire!!!

If you'd have told me last week that I'd be driving over 300 miles to get a cat I'd have actually laughed in your face and thought you were barking mad but look at me now

I think the reason this thread has garnered such positive vibes is that it restores your faith in human nature a little bit and it has a wonderful whiff of the eccentric, which the Brits seem to famed for, about it.

The Litter Tray is not without its own naysayers but they don't seem to be on this thread, if the thread had been anywhere else on this forum there would be legions of naysayers putting the boot in.

I hope you have many, many happy years with Heidi, StewPots. We ended up with a dog in slightly similarly unusual circumstances and it was the best thing we ever did, the love and joy that dog brought to our lives was immeasurable.

Would love to hear some updates on Heidi, StewPots, and well done Gatekeeper for rescuing her in the first place.

Nearly there!!! I hope she likes us!!!

She'll do more than just like you StewPots.

This is the best thread ever. So lovely. Give Heidi a cuddle from me 😻

I'm so excited to hear how it goes!

This is a wonderful threat. Stewpots and Gatekeeper you are both lovely sounding people and it is a great example the kindness of strangers. I only wish you had a 'On a Cat Rescue Mission' beacon and bell, on your car; I'm sure people would clear out of your way and you'd be there before we you know it.

I hope the cat loves you on sight!!! She damn well ought to! Loving the random motorway photos too

One more thing, you have a lovely DH StewPots - just thought I mention it as I've been over on the Relationships board and it's good to remember there are some good men about. Driving all that way for you to get a cat... good for Mr Pots, I say

THREAD' not threat, obv
