Poppy
After losing our much-loved first family cat of 10 years in December 2023, and our other animals feeling the grief and loss, we decided to look for another companion for our crazy family. I was after a Tortie, because of their strong willed and 'naughty Tortie' attitude. We went in to meet Poppy and bonded straight away, she was exactly what we were missing. She has made herself at home, demands cuddles, food and causes chaos....just like our beloved Madam did for 10 years. Thank you for choosing us to be her "forever" home. She's healed us in every way possible.
