Adopting a new cat...

This Saturday I´m hoping to adopt a young cat from my local branch of Cats Protection. A couple of months after Scarlett died, I realized Monty was still missing her and I put my name down at several rehoming centres in case a young female Burmese or Burmese cross came in and needed a home (I was very keen to find a rescue cat rather than get a kitten from a breeder). I was amazed that within just a few weeks Cats Protection rang to say that they had a stray to rehome who looked like a lilac Burmese. I met her a few days ago and she did indeed look like a beautiful, but very traumatised Burmese. (Check out the picture of her in my photo album). Someone from Cats Protection is coming on Friday to do the home visit, and if they are happy, I can collect her on Saturday. I hope she will settle in - it´s hard to work out what happened to her as she was found just wandering the streets in Canonbury and despite advertising no owner has come forward to claim her...
