Abandoned cat dilemma

The shop across the street from me closed and the tenants left their lovely little cat behind. They’re not answering the owner’s calls and he has new tenants coming in so she has to go. Refuges are all full so her future is bleak.

I lost my 18 year old cat in December and still miss him terribly but enjoy the freedom to travel without worrying about booking a sitter. Next trip is for a week in mid-August.

I was thinking about another cat but not so soon. If I don’t, she won’t have very long.
What would you do?

Yay! She's out and about and looking very self-assured.

Gosh, she is a beautiful cat, & looking very calm & happy now! Well done! Flowers

How on earth could someone leave her behind? ConfusedAngry

Goingtoexplode · 04/08/2019 15:04

Oh she’s beautiful!!!! Congratulations on your new cat. She must be comfortable with you laying stretched out like that.

IrisAtwood · 04/08/2019 15:06

She is beautiful!

Ilovetolurk · 04/08/2019 15:10

She is a princess 👸🏻

Astounding someone could leave her behind

Their loss your gain

jollyhollyhocks · 04/08/2019 16:31

She's gorgeous! Thank you for giving her a home ❤️❤️❤️

Guiltypleasures001 · 04/08/2019 21:54

Oh what a love, well done op 😍

MancaroniCheese · 04/08/2019 23:58

Oh wow what a beauty, thank you so much for taking in this poor wee thing. How can anyone be so cruel as to abandon a creature to potential death?

ThisIsNotMyRealName1 · 05/08/2019 03:37

She's lovely! She's looking nicer and relaxed there. What a lucky girl she is to land in such a soft spot, job well done OP :)

overnightangel · 05/08/2019 03:58

That is one relaxed looking cat! 😍

Awww, what a pretty cat! And what a lovely thread (although how anyone can leave behind a pet is beyond me Angry)

Happy cat day for yesterday Millie. I was also an abandoned cat that came at a really inconvenient time for my family but like yours they took me in anyway.

@Bunny gorgeous cat there too, So good of you for taking him/her in too

Aw. It was clearly meant to be, OP.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 09/08/2019 10:25

Has she given cuddles yet?

Ninkaninus · 09/08/2019 10:32

Awwww she’s lovely! I’ve not had pets for several years now but my heart is starting to want another furry companion (probably of the dog variety, but cats are lovely too) and this thread made me really happy for you, and for her!

Please update the thread with photos as often as you can and any stories about her and your daily life...❤️

Antonin · 14/08/2019 12:29

Just see.Millie’s pic. She is gorgeous. Is she part oriental? Just has the look. Can’t imagine deserting her. I wish you many happy years together
