Meet Tilly - our newest intake and her heartbreaking story…
Tilly arrived in our care in early July having found herself alone following the passing of her beloved owner. We’re not actually sure how long she was left alone in the home however she was rescued via the RSPCA Inspectorate.
Shell shocked and bemused, we did all we could to get Tilly into a foster environment as quickly as possible so she could try and settle and get used to her new way of life. Not only has she lost the one and only person she knew and loved, she has also lost her home and everything that was familiar to her.
Tilly is approximately eight years old and, as you can see from the video below, she has been very much loved. However, she is severely overweight which is having a huge impact on her quality of life.
Our wish is to get Tilly into a quiet home as soon as possible, where she can begin to forge relations with a new family who will keep in touch with us and keep us updated on her weight loss progress. She will need encouragement to play and move, slowly building up her stamina and will need to be kept on a strict diet, with treats kept to a very minimum.
We can’t bear the thought of Tilly going through any more upheaval so we’re keen for her to not get too settled in foster care - another move could feel devastating for her. We are happy to work very closely with anyone who would like to offer Tilly a home and, as with all of our adoptions, we will be on hand for advice and guidance throughout.
If you feel you could be the person to give Tilly the home she so desperately needs and deserves, please do get in touch. Her journey will be an absolutely beautiful one and we can’t wait to see her flourish!
We will consider all rehoming enquires on a case-by-case basis however no busy roads please, unless you’d consider cat proofing or a catio.
If you think you could offer this gorgeous girl her forever home, please complete our adoption form.
Please note with the increase in cost of veterinary treatment we now require adopters to take out relevant insurance - we will provide more information during the adoption process. Every cat deserves the opportunity to be provided with the required veterinary treatment should they need it during times of illness or injury.
