Hi I'm Nicola
Mom to the recently passed Jet (pre adopted name - Martha) and recently adopted Garfield (pre adopted name - Felix).
I adopted both of my cats through Desley, I thought i'd join and introduce myself.
I'm Married to a wonderful cat lover, and we live house in a nice quiet cul-de-sac in Mansfield, Nottingham, as short drive from Sherwood forest which is well known for both Robin Hood and Centre Parcs
When we first adopted Jet we were living in apartment and Jet was the purrfect indoor cat, eventually she did venture outdoors again but never for long. Unfortunately Jet was laid to rest on Saturday due to a combination of problems and age. The void in our lives was so painful, we couldn't bear to be at home, every little noise from upstairs made us think that Jet was going to appear at the bottom of the stairs, seeing no litter tray and food bowl laid out was disturbing. So when we let Desley know of Jet's situation she told us about Felix (now Garfield - he's a spitting image) knowing that Jet would be happy to know we'd offered another Cat a home who needed one have given us alot of comfort.
Although Garfield has helped us come to terms with Jet's passing he will never replace her.
