Sharon asked me to do a homecheck yesterday but was a bit concerned that there is a pay & display car park opposite in the side sreet where they live. Anyway, when I got there, I realised there are bollards at one end so the road can't be used as a cut through :) - I went in and started talking to them and mentioned the car park. The lady said it didn't matter as the cat wouldn't be going out the front anyway :). I knew that they had lost both their cats due to CRF before xmas and they told me the story. They had lived in Oz for 32 years and always had rescue cats, never turning a cat away, having 5 at one time, they still had 2 when they decided to come back to England so brought the cats with them :) - before xmas, one of them became very ill with kidney disease and had to be PTS :( - then the other becam ill. She said the cat was on a drip for 5 days at the end but as soon as the drip was removed, she went downhill quickly :( . She showed me 2 containers of ashes on the mantelpiece ready to bury in the garden when the weather is nicer. They had considered taking 2 cats but decided eventually that being on a pension, it was better to have one cat and being able to give it everything it needed. She said they would hate to have to cut corners as any cats they have always get whatever they need. Anyway, I saw the cat flap and the garden. I think there will be one lucky cat going to live with them :)
The great thing was, they were both as enthusiastic and excited as eachother.

... and I know the puss they are taking! :sneaky: :)
Sophie is a miracle puss! She not only got through a security door, she went up three flights of stairs then decided to pick the very last flat she came across - packed with screaming toddlers - in the bid to move in somewhere. This 'stray' in immaculate condition, was reported to us as arriving from nowhere and no one had seen her before. :shify: The lady who lived in the flat, mother of 2 very noisey under 5s, couldn't keep her. :innocent:
Needless to say we whipped her out of there PDQ. :evillaugh: She was much a loving, friendly puss I feel head over heals. :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
So a brilliant ending all around. :)
