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

Looking forward to the update when you get there!*

In Geordie, her full name would be Heidi Man Cat Man, of course (I know Durham is not Geordie but it made me smile to think of it)

How is a Charity Page set up so we can lob in a pound to help with expenses?

I don’t think you can link to just giving pages on here any more harvest.

You MUST be there by now!

Get a bloody move on woman - some of us have things to do today you know 😊

It makes me smile to think of how many of us are lurking on here this lunchtime 😁
*refresh...

I wish you would both waive your right to anonymity and post lots of photos. What a lovely adventure.

Forgot to put,
FAO Daily Mail 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Driving all that way for you to get a cat... good for Mr Pots, I say

Hear, hear. (He's obviously as mad as she is )

My dh would do the same for me in a heartbeat, it's one of the many reasons why he is my dh!

This thread is amazing. It reminds me why I love the Litter Tray, the best board on Mumsnet.

Damn i wish i could, shes beautiful! But too far :(

😅😅😅😅😅😅

Darcy, have you read any more than the first post?

Haha sorry everyone we had a cup of tea with @Gatekeeper and found out about our lovely girl Heidi :)

We have just left now and are on our way back to Devon. Thank you @Gatekeeper x

Ooops bold fail so she is in her crate now with lots of blankets including some from @Gatekeeper she has lots of treats etc and she's just sitting quietly probably thinking what the hell just happened! But we have Feliway spray for calming and Dreamiest for eating.

Sainsburys for us to refuel then hopefully home by 8pm tonight :)

I am disappointed. I was waiting for official handover photos and royal visit style pictures of everyone drinking tea.😉
Hope you have a safe journey back and Heidi settles in quickly. Will you butter her paws? They like that.

]Safe journey home Mrs and Mr Stewpots. It was a pleasure meeting you both.
Heidi did a big, smelly poo just before she left so has left us something to remember her by

What a lovely heartwarming story. You are both legends

I've been lurking on this thread, and am so happy that Heidi is on her way to her new home! This is the loveliest thread ever, and I hope Stewpot and gatekeeper stay in touch too. 😺

Also, just wanted to add: GET TO FUCK, DAILY MAIL, YOU GREAT SACK OF ARSEHOLES

And yes, I had a few tears but am so happy that she is going to such a loving home Dh knew what I would be like so nipped out for red wine, tortilla chips, pate and smelly cheese.
CHEERS everyone

I’ve been following this. What a fantastic story. What a beautiful cat. Can’t wait for updates!

Aw lovely 🐱

Great thread!

This has made my weekend.
Cheers to you @Gatekeeper for doing such a lovely thing, and you too @Stewpot (and Mr Stewpot)🥂for going above and beyond, safe journey home to the 3 of you and I bet Heidi loves her new life with you!
Just hope she doesn’t end up being pretentious, lose her Geordie accent and end up Meowing like a southerner

Hehe yes Heidi did us a favour and left a leaving gift :) she is mewling quietly in the back, but she has her face next to the door so I'm giving her lots of fuss through there :) she will miss @Gatekeeper for sure but of course we will update on progress :) and on this thread!!
