Meet Susan
Susan is one of our tenants from Accrington, Lancashire. Here’s her story about her cat Daisy.
“I had been cleaning my flat one day and opened the window to let some fresh air in. There was then some loud crying and a cat jumped through my window and sat on my sofa. The cat had a very big belly and spent some time crying. I was unsure if the cat was injured due to the constant crying so took her to the vet for a check-up.
Unfortunately the cat was not micro-chipped but after having the check up the vet confirmed the cat was female and heavily pregnant. The vet also said that pregnant cats will find a safe place to give birth if they do not have a home.
I was supported by the staff and knocked on the houses on the street to see if the cat belonged to anyone. Everyone said no so the poor cat was abandoned and had nowhere safe to give birth. I called the cat Daisy and looked after her whilst she was heavily pregnant.
Not long after Daisy gave birth to a litter of kittens. The kittens were rehomed and Daisy was then spayed and micro-chipped.
Daisy is a comfort/therapy cat and has had and continues to have a massive positive impact on my wellbeing as well as the other tenants I live with. Everyone is so happy when they see her and smile and say hello to her and give her strokes and cuddles.”
