Due to the loss of Tiggy in July at the grand old age of 18, we felt we needed another cat to discourage mice around the house and farm. We didn't really fancy a kitten, especially with all the dogs around, so we went down to our local cat rescue centre and two cats straight away chose us as their new owners.
Marty (bottom photo)is a semi-longhaired grey and white cat, with a very cuddly, loveable nature and he climbed all over Matthew as if to say take me now.
Stevie (a girl!) is a short haired grey and white cat and loves to be stroked but does not like being picked up - obviously something has happened in her past, but we hope she will settle down. She can certainly purr when she wants!
They have both settled in marvellously, with Stevie (pictured top) very much boss of the dogs, although I think due to failing eyesight with age that Lottie is slightly oblivious to their presence. Marty looks at the dogs with mild curiosity, but does run if challenged. Stevie had a slight touch of cat flu which apparently happens a lot in re-homed cats, but they are both now micro-chipped and vaccinated and fully settled in.
