Lovely 3 year-old black cat

Caroline from Richmond

Hi everyone. We are having to move to a new rental home which won’t allow us to keep my daughter’s much-loved cat. We’ve asked everyone we know if they’ll take her, but they have enough pets already or else are in the same ‘no pets allowed’ situation as us.

Hi everyone. We are having to move to a new rental home which won’t allow us to keep my daughter’s much-loved cat. We’ve asked everyone we know if they’ll take her, but they have enough pets already or else are in the same ‘no pets allowed’ situation as us.
I’m getting a bit anxious now as we have to move next Friday week and would desperately like to find a happy new home for her. She is fully house-trained and well-behaved.
Please let me know if you’d like to adopt her.
Kind regards, Caroline and Lily.
