After following @parsnippuree thread and not wanting to hijack her thread about the cats who's owner had died.
A new cat appeared in our garden last week. I fed it for 3 evenings as it appeared at 7pm each evening. On Friday evening I decided to bring it into my home. It was skinny and dirty and didn't object to me brining it in.
I took photos and put them out on every community fb page. No one came forward. A lady offered to come over and scan her.
So Friday night the cat was more than happy to sit on a cushion in my window, 2am she had snuggled on the sofa.
I already have 2 indoor cats and was expecting mayhem overnight. Everything was calm.
Lady came and scanned the cat and she was chipped. She went away saying that she'd go away, find the owner and contact them.
Well, we had tickets to go and see Kylie on Saturday evening so we left around 3pm leaving all 3 cats at home.
Lady called after we had left home saying that she had contacted the owner and would return the cat back to them on Sunday.
Gizmo, the cat had settled in in just 2 days, walking about, coming to me for snuggles. It broke my heart to let her go.
Today I received a call from Gizmo's owner who has asked if we'd like to take her.
I said YES.
He's coming over to discuss this with us tomorrow.
I don't t know much atm but they have young children, didn't notice that their cat hadn't been home for a few days.
What else could I do....
We are more than happy for this adorable girl to come and live with us, at 16 I think she's lived the best part of her life, she will have a quite, loving home with us and as many snuggles as she wants.
