Success Stories!

I adopted Sunflower on July 3rd, 2011. All I can say is that it was meant to be. I never hardly look on the RSPCA website as it just isn't something I think about unless I'm looking specifically. But I was bored one night and decided to look and there was this adorable cat aptly named Sunflower after my favourite flowers. So I knew instantly I wanted her.

Now we're in October and she is the best and most adorable cat you could ever wish to have and she follows me everywhere. Being disabled I sometimes stay in bed and she never leaves me and comes to lay with me. Sunflower also lives up to her name as when the sun is shining she sits by every window in my house and follows the sun right round! However when it rains she likes to seek shelter in my sunflower chimnea poking her head out and meows until somebody lets her in.

Finally, Sunflower is fit and healthy and she is being weaned off her tablets and now eats normal cat food. We are looking to move to Wiltshire/Hampshire next year and she is the most affectionate and most beautiful cat I could wish to have and I'm so glad I was lucky enough to get her and wouldn't change her for the world.

We moved out of your Centre during the summer holidays last year and we thought you might like to know how we are getting on now…

Poppet loved the name you gave her so she kept that, but 'Finger' decided it was best to change her name to Maple. We both know our names (especially when we get called for treats or to go outside and play!)

We are the best of friends and like chasing each other around the house and garden to keep fit…but our favourite hobby is trying to catch flies! Sometimes we accidentally cause lots of mess doing this - like knocking things of shelves!

Poppet - I am the king of the castle and I am certainly the boss as you can see in the photographs! I enjoy eating Weetabix, ice-cream and liking ice lollies. I also like to sit in the bath when it's empty! I enjoy stretching out across my owner's lap all evening, every evening - I purr very loudly!

Maple - I love cuddling! I like nothing more than to get into bed at night with my owner and curl around her chest. I am getting quicker at pouncing and chasing creatures and plants outside; my favourite are dandelions!

We are both having a wonderful time and we want to thank everyone at the centre for finding us such a lovely place to live - we are both very happy!

Lots of love, Poppet and Maple

I thought it was time for an update on Bob as we have had him nearly two years now.

He still enjoys his walks although he does get afraid if other dogs get boisterous but generally he loves meeting other dogs, he does a lot of sniffing now rather than just do his business and want to get back home! I have started letting him off his lead, so he can walk the last bit freely. He doesn't Bolt! and today I let him off a bit further from home, he walked ahead then turned and came back and walked to heel to the corner then he sat beside me until I moved to cross the road, as you know this is such an achievement for Bob and I am so proud of him.

He is a pleasure to have and the grandchildren adore him.
