Our new cat is home!

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

After my lovely old girl passed on we decided to get a rescue cat. He's arrived home today from the centre and is currently checking out everywhere.

Blimey he's big!!

Will try for a photo as soon as he stands still long enough

How exciting!

He's arrived home today from the centre and is currently checking out everywhere.

Good sign!

Totally not place marking for photo evidence of gorgeous kit cat

Here 's the beast! He has been needing a home for quite a while and has been totally over looked.

He's decided to sit on the bed and have a groom!

He's just gorgeous! And fearless

He's a beautiful cat! Good that he's already grooming himself. He seems at ease. Congrats on your new family member!

Too beautiful! Ours arrive today too.

Here's to a long and settled life [catnip]

That's a cat who's planning his World Takeover bid.

Be very, very nice to him...

Grauniad I have a feeling you are right!

The kids are getting him to play with a cat toy now. Which he is interested in between sniffing everywhere

Ooh, photo mrshathaway congratulations!

Looks like he knows he's home

Gorgeous kitty!

What a handsome boy!

What a beauty! I can't believe he was overlooked in rescue! Was he shy when you first met him?

Apparently he was very upset about leaving his last home and took a while to settle in. His writeup said he took a while to know but was then very affectionate.
But he was right there at us when we went to visit the centre and totally wanted strokes from all the family. Seemed a done deal right then

Wow Ship he's is gorgeous. I am so pleased you were chosen too! He looks totally at home. What's his name?

Wolfy.

Which we have decided to keep as it reminds me of the Tooting Popular Front

Love it! What a great name.

He certainly is home!. He's gorgeous.

Fantastic name, he's a beauty

Thanks everyone! We are in cat heaven here!

He has now purred a bit and attempted to play the piano.

Northumberlandlass, how's Lou Lou settling??

I wondered if you might be today's other rehome, Shipwrecked, as our small rescue is homing to five homes in two days (!) with its being the end of the school holidays.

So I asked her what other cat she'd homed today and although the story sounded similar there's a crucial difference - number of legs

Could be if you are in sussex!

Aw, he's gorgeous.
