Coco is a very loving cat, and she adores snuggles and company. She is 10 years old and has never had any health issues.
She has always been the only pet in our home and she is scared of other cats and dogs. She is also wary of small children. She would be timid until she settles into her new home. I think she would be perfect for a mature adult/couple who would appreciate her company as much as Coco would appreciate theirs.
My daughter (Coco's mum) has now moved out of home and her boyfriend is allergic to cats which means they are unable to visit me at home. Also, with me being at work daily, out at nights, and away weekends means Coco is left on her own way too often.
Coco needs her latest vet visit which I can arrange soon.

Find tickets via their website www.nztrio.com.... Your ticket includes a complimentary drink with the musicians following the performance. They are NZ's best piano trio with huge accolades, glowing reviews, and all with a casual and friendly Kiwi spirit. Highly recommended you try classical music up close and live if you haven't tried it. There is always some contemporary stuff in the mix with these guys, and always a Kiwi composer's work in every programme.
