She is a nice cat but does need a very special, experienced owner who she can learn to trust. She didnt' end up going to the neighbouring branch in the end... long story but we thought we had a home and then didn't. She's still in our care but we have got to over our 16 week maximum now before we move her on so am having one last advertising boost then she will go to the Nation Cat Adoption centre. I am sure they will be able to give her a bit of extra support and then as they have so many people go to view cats there, I am sure they will home her.
Although I am sad we haven't found a home for her, we really have done everything we can. (Radio, weekly posters all over the area, putting her out on network for homes from other branches, half a page spread in local newspaper, internet. etc etc) Cause she takes a while to trust people and show her real self, and due to the fact she can't be with children, dogs or other cats along with being nippy means that anyone who has viewed her hasn't seen past her issues. I have no doubt the right owner is out there and she is so deserving, we just have to keep looking.
Wherever Belle's ideal mum/dad is hiding... please come out and show yourself!
