Hello. It’s me, Jim. Or Rita. We’ll let you guess which one of us is speaking 😁
We’ve been waiting 139 days. 139 days since our owners emigrated and we found ourselves needing a new home. 139 days of watching other cats leave with their new families, while we stay behind, hoping our turn will come.
When people visit the cattery looking to adopt, we tend to hide away. The confident cats come forward to say hello, while we watch from a safe distance.
But please, don’t mistake our shyness for a lack of love.
We just need a little time.
Just look at us with our lovely Auntie Gail, one of the lovely people who cares for us in the cattery, she’s given us the time and space to feel safe, and now we’re happy to enjoy fuss, attention and a cuddle. This is the real us, once we feel comfortable enough to let you in.
We have so much love to give. We just might not be brave enough to show you in the first five minutes.
So, when you visit looking for your new best friend, please remember the cats who are hiding at the back. Sometimes, the ones who take a little longer to come around are the ones who will mean the world to you.
Could you be the person who sees past our shyness and gives us a chance?
We don’t need someone to rescue us from being shy. We just need someone willing to get to know us . Thank you
Helo, Jim a Rita ydym ni.
Rydym wedi bod yn aros am 139 diwrnod am gartref newydd. Rydym ychydig yn swil pan fyddwn yn cwrdd â phobl newydd, ond gyda digon o amser, amynedd a chariad, rydym yn dangos ein hochr gariadus go iawn.
Oes gennych chi le yn eich calon i ddau gath sydd angen ychydig o amser i fagu hyder?
Cysylltwch â ni i holi am Jim a Rita. Efallai mai chi yw’r person rydym wedi bod yn aros amdano.
