We were out last night doing a home visit for a chap who is looking for a companion cat to keep him company. We were a bit unsure at first as it was in assisted housing scheme but we were very pleasantly surprised when we got there. After a long talk we have decided to place Toots one of oldies with this man for company and we feel they would be ideally suited to one another and he is very excited about her coming to stay.
We will be taking Toots out to her new home tonight and will be keeping a close watch on their progress and be there to lend a hand if its needed but we feel that they will do each other the world of good. Eespecially as Toots has been with us for nearly 2 years... bless her, and only because of her age at 11yrs old.
For the moment we are very pleased that we didn't let our 'bad' experiences with these schemes impair our decision to visit with this potential new home.
Good luck Toots! You really deserve it huney!!
and it just goes to show that just because of 1 or 2 bad experiences doesn't mean they all will be.
