We live in North London but are prepared to travel for our new family member. We have a fairly large garden, and we'd love a cat who can enjoy being out in it (though he or she would have a cat flap and would be kept in at night).
We work from home so there’s someone around almost all of the time. Our children are nearly 4 and nearly 6, and have been taught to be very calm and gentle around animals - though they are of course still quite young, so we’re looking for a cat who is pretty confident. The cat will also be able to 'get away from it all' in our office upstairs, where the kids aren't allowed! Our only pets are 2 goldfish. We’re looking for a Maine Coon as my mum had a rescue boy who was adorable. We love their temperament. We’ve both owned cats in the past, though not for many years.
We’re prepared to wait for the right cat to come up in rescue. Ideally under 5, but gender, colour etc not important - just the right fit for our family.
Fingers crossed
