We recently took in Mabel... her owners apparently moved at Easter 2007 and was hus was being feed by the next door neighbour since then. They became alarmed when she took to sleeping in the middle of the road and it was only a matter of time before she may of succumbed to the traffic. She was thus brought into CP care and checked out at the vets.
Mabel is a dark tortie and around 12 yrs old, unfortunately and much to our surprise she has FIV+ (to read more about FIV please see………..). Vets also suspect she has an overactive thyroid, although neither of these medical conditions prevent her from living and active and full life in her at the moment, she may require medical treatment in the future, it is very hard to tell.
Mabel is a gorgeous lady and loves a cuddle. Very shy/nervous but seems to feel very safe in the pen albeit a little bored.
We believe she would suit an old lady or couple as she probably will not grow old bones but still has a lot of life in her yet.
Because of Mabel’s FIV condition, she would need to be rehomed as an indoor only cat (or with another FIV cat) she would also be fine in a enclosed garden and would probably really love somewhere to take the sun during the summer… Mabel is a senior lady and deserves a home for a few more years yet after being forgotten about for many months…
It’s a sad fact that cats like Mabel are often abandoned in favour of a younger model and without care and TLC succumb to the life of a poorly stray whose condition gets worse by the month.
She is being taken care off by Canterbury CP, Kent, any further details pls email me.
