"I am a lovely girl, although a little shy to start with, I warm up quickly once I know I am safe. I am looking for a loving home where I will get spoilt rotten. If you can offer me a wonderful life I would like to meet you. I seem to like the other cats I live with, and I really get on with Wendy, so if you were looking for a pair of cats, maybe you could consider both of us? We would do best in a quiet home, but once settled I will make a wonderful member of your family."
