Good evening everyone. Please read right though before making any comments.
2 weeks ago I took in a mother cat who gave birth to two beautiful female kittens who are now 12 days old. We already have round homes for the kittens with a work mate. Now. We are looking at getting muma spayed once they are 7 weeks old and then she will be ready for her new home. Her name is Mia, she is 2 years old and is the most loving and affection cat I’d have seen in a long time. We cannot keep her! We have enough as it is. So in 8-9 weeks she will be ready to be rehomed once she has had the surgery and is cleared. We are prepared to pay for this. Mia would be great with an older person or older family. She loves kids but I am not introducing her to our cats or dogs as I don’t want her to get too homely or upset our lot either. She will be fleas and wormed according as well. So if you are interested in her and would like to meet her please pm me. I will get more
Photos of her tomorrow.
