Our house is now a home again……..two new arrivals.

On the 23rd December we said goodbye to our darling 17 year old Tortie. Just three weeks later we said goodbye to her sister. It was awful. I’ve not been as sad or tearful for a long time.

This week it was time to look.

We were chosen. Our home now has 2 nine year olds, a huge ginger and white boy with thyroid issues and his sister, another Tortie.

They are adorable, I must admit to a little tear the first night they gratefully climbed on our knees and gazed at us with a mixture of relief and adoration.

We rescued them from a local Sanctuary but I think they rescued us a little bit too, DP and I have smiled more this week.

George was on a knee within 15 minutes of getting home and on our bed that night. Mildred is more timid and almost waits for permission. We have a toileting issue with her, seems she needs total privacy so we’re working on ways to address that and help make it as stress free for her as possible. But they're eating, playing and having lots of fuss.

Aww bless!!

fabulous, you've given them a lovely new home!! I hope Mildred so what's the toilet thing out soon?l!!

Do you know why they were at the shelter?

Notgoodatpoetrybutgreatatlit · 18/04/2025 23:11

And you called them George and Mildred! And George is too cute! I love that Mildred is shy and you are rearranging your lives to make sure she can use the litter tray in privacy.

maddiemookins16mum · 18/04/2025 23:14

They were surrendered to the shelter as a marriage break up was taking place and there was also mention of a dangerous dog.

Beautiful cats 💞

user1471548941 · 23/04/2025 07:54

Here for the enormous ginger and white party! I have a ginger and white giant also who basically took one look at DH in the rescue and imprinted on him! He is the soppiest, daftest, loveliest thing ever!

We got him a “brother” a few years later who is a complete mischief but having 2 is the absolute best!

enjoy!!!

George looks like he's wearing boxing gloves! More pics please! 😍

PollyCreo · 23/04/2025 15:43

George looks like the happiest cat in the world there 😻

Walker1178 · 23/04/2025 18:02

Ellinor · 23/04/2025 18:58
