Mimi is a beautiful girl, estimated to be ten years old. She came to Catcuddles after a member of the public told us about a pregnant stray they had been feeding during lockdown.

We learned that Mimi was actually much older than expected, and rather than being pregnant she was actually retaining fluid. Following medication, and several tests, including scans, we have received confirmation that Mimi has heart disease. Mimi is on medication for heart failure that she readily takes twice per day. The fluid retention is now much milder, however her condition means her life expectancy is estimated to be a few months to two years. 

We say this about all our cats because it’s true, but Mimi is truly a sweet, lovely girl who is great company. She will happily sit in your lap but as she does also enjoy spending time outside so we would prefer that the option of a garden remains for her in a safe location, away from busy roads, with access to a back garden through a catflap.

Mimi dearly deserves to find a loving, settled home of her own to live out her remaining time comfortable and happy and we are determined to find that special home for her. She's not too keen on other pets and therefore needs a home without other pets.

We are seeking a special person willing to offer Mimi last adoptive home. You need to be comfortable administering medication (tablets) and committed to doing this twice per day as well be financially comfortable to adopt a cat with an existing health condition,

We want nothing more than for Mimi to enjoy her remaining time - whether that's weeks, months or years - in the comfort of a loving home where she'll be spoiled and happy. Please contact us if you are that big-hearted person willing to offer that to Mimi.

Mimi is being fostered at our South London hub in Abbey Wood, SE2.
