Hi there! My name is Katie and I am one of the many single cats who have been at the sanctuary for some time (I am also Jackie's favourite four legged purrer but dont tell her I told you this as the other cats may get jealous!). My owner was elderly and wanted me as a companion so she fed me just a few too many treats. I have very painful arthritis in my back legs now which makes it very difficult and painful to walk. The fabulous Volunteers at the sanctuary have put me on a special diet called R/D which is basically a biscuit that swells up in my stomach to make me feel full. Someone told me humans also have the same problem but I am sure all the biscuits here come with a chocolate coating?! Anyway I need a home, someone to love me for who I am and if I improve fantastic but if I dont I need lots and lots of love anyway! I dont get up often simply because of the pain. I am very good at using my litter tray though and never make a mess. My owner never let me out so I would be fine to live in a flat. I am not keen on children partly the pain and partly because I dont want to have to share my owner with any two legged creatures. I currently share a pen with Martin. He is fab I am sure he thinks he is a baby in disguise as I have seen him snuggle up on the volunteers lap and give them a little playful nibble or two. He is very stressed being here and tried to escape! Fortunately he has listened to me and realised it is not as bad as he first thought but like all of us much deserving moggies would prefer a home to spend his days in. Well enoguh from me for now but if you fancy enquiring more or would like to come and meet me please phone Jackie at the sanctuary on 01992 560 510.

Thats all for now Lots of love Katie x x x
