If you’ve been following the blog or our social media, you’ll know that we lost our beautiful cat Cassie at the end of August. When we adopted her, she was at the tail-end of being a kitten as she was 1 year old. Unfortunately, she had FIV. As such, we made sure that we took her to the vets regularly and were careful with her diet in a bid to give her the longest life possible. When we found out that she needed to be put down, we gave her the best last couple of days that we could. I still feel so sad and miss her so much, however, recently we felt ready to adopt again. A popular opinion is that the best way to honour your rescue pet’s memory is to adopt another when you’re ready. I’m inclined to agree, so back we went to Cats Protection “just for a little look” to see if we really did feel ready mid-September.

3 things pet owners need to know when buying a carpet
Collaborative Post¦ When you’re getting a new carpet, there are some things you need to consider. For example, the more foot traffic an area gets, the thicker/better quality the underlay you need. However, have you considered your pets when you’ve been thinking about carpet? Whether you’re a cat person or a dog person, you need to consider your furry friends before you buy.
When Cassie cat found her forever home
Contains Sponsored Links¦ Back in 2010 when I was 18, my parents decided they were going to adopt a rescue cat from Cats Protection League. I’d practically moved out a couple of months before to live with my then boyfriend, now husband and was disappointed they’d never had a cat when I lived with them as I’d always wanted one but also excited that there was going to be a new cat in the family!
I still remember when my Mum received the phone call saying they may have found a cat for us and going to have a look at her to decide if we wanted her. We had cuddles with her and fell in love.
