Nebula

We heard about a little homeless tortoiseshell cat which had followed a lady all the way from the underground station back to her home, wanting to come indoors. The lady did the sensible thing and took her straight to a vet to be checked out. She did not have a microchip but the vet said she looked heavily pregnant and needed to be taken in. Hearing of this, we offered to take her, better to have her newborn kittens safely indoors in the winter. The cat arrived the next day. What was this? The little cat was skinny, I put her in a comfortable pen at my bed-side and started examining her. She did not look pregnant at all, and she had definitely not given birth recently. She could even be a neutered cat.

I decided to foster her for the time being and see what happened. The answer came soon after Christmas when I woke up to some loud singing coming from the playpen, madam was in season. I booked her into the vets for a neutering, vaccinating and microchipping appointment in a week’s time. Meanwhile, a charming lady got in touch; she had fallen in love with the description I gave her of Sulica, my choice of name. This lady had always wanted a dark tortie cat. After Sulica had recovered from her operation, we took her to her new home. Now called Nebula she settled in after a week's hiding, as shown on the beautiful photos.
