When two of ginger cat Sadie’s owners moved house, the series of changes proved too much for the mature moggie who now needs a home with space to call her own.
Ten-year-old Sadie has been in and out of Cats Protection’s care since 2017. Through no fault of her own, the change-averse puss lived happily with two owners in succession who unfortunately both needed to move house. After adjusting to one move, the second became more difficult to tolerate and now Sadie can sometimes show her feisty side while trying to settle in new homes.
Cats Protection is celebrating the first anniversary of a pioneering online adoption process which has rehomed over 20,000 cats around the UK.
