I'm new to this forum so just thought I'd say hello! It's great to find places like this which cater for us cat lovers.
I recently adopted a cat, Lucky, through Battersea Dogs and Cats Home having finally been in a position to adopt a fur baby. We had a family cat called Gypsy, who we lost 12 years ago, but I still miss her - she was my soul mate. Like I said, since that time I was not in a position, either financially or in terms of where I lived, able to adopt another cat. I also felt that no cat could ever live up to Gypsy as she was the most amazing, laid back and loving cat that I'd ever known. However, in the last year I've managed to get decent accommodation and in the last few months the urge to get a cat became stronger. I kept thinking of Gypsy and I think that maybe her spirit was telling me to adopt another cat and give them the love that I had given her.
Hence the reason I adopted Lucky! She is 14 and an absolute sweetie! I live in a block of flats, on the fourth floor with no access to the outside and Battersea generally prefer to rehome cats to a place with a garden, understandably. However, there are always some cats, especially some of the older ones, who are able to be an indoor only cat and that is what Lucky is.
I'll try attaching a photo of her using photobucket, just hope it works!
