TWENTY for 2020: Petal (Homed!)

Post by Ellie-G »

To mark Cat Chat's 20th Anniversary, our "Twenty for 2020" Campaign aims to find homes for the 20 most overlooked cats in rescue: https://www.catchat.org/twenty-for-2020

Number 18 on our campaign is...


PETAL


Petal has been in the care of Orphan Annie's Cat Rescue, Basildon for over a year and a half.

It's a perennial problem, the kittens get homed but the mums get overlooked. This is the story of Petal who just wants to say - forget me not! She's a sweetpea who has blossomed over the many months she's been cared for by the rescue.

We are pleased to say that PETAL is now HOMED!!!

Petal had been in the care of Orphan Annie's Cat Rescue, Basildon for over a year and a half.

Thanks to your help, pretty Petal was seen on our campaign, and found the ideal, caring home. However no-one could have predicted what would happen next! When her adopters visited her she had instantly taken to them, loving their attention. So, when the rescue dropped her off a week later all should have been perfect. But Petal had other ideas...

The shelter told us: "The instant we left she hid under the table and stayed there. She became withdrawn and stressed, refusing to eat or use the tray. She wouldn't settle no matter how much kindness and love she was shown. After a while we all agreed that it wasn't working and she needed to come back here. We hadn't realised just how bonded she'd become to us here, and nobody else could take our place. She's now become a permanent addition to our family and follows us around all day, not leaving our side!"

So Petal is now settled, having in the end made her own choice!
