The arrival of Hannah


Following the passing of our boss cat Percy several months ago, it was decided that we should offer a place to another kitty in need of a good home. So many cats and kittens to choose from - not at all easyy to decide which was "the one". With ginger marmelade and blue/grey smoke already established - the obvious choice seemed to be another tuxedo buddy. Hannah had been hanging out at Victoria animal control services for several months since she was discovered wandering the vicinity of Douglas and Finlayson. By now, she was enjoying the luxury of care, comfort, and most important - food, provided at ACS. She was quite a favourite of the staff, too - as she had been there for many months. Her engaging personality and sleek looks should have resulted in a quick adoption, but unfortunately Hannah has an old injury to her mouth which has left her with a gaping disfigurement to her face. Not that this bothers her particularly - Hannah has no problem making her needs known!
3 months later, and our Hannah is completely at home. She is Shoe shoe's buddy, and loves having "mad cat" moments charging through the house, up the stairs, chasing anything in her path. Hannah loves her food - actually begs for it, and likes nothing more than curling up on her window seat following a good meal. She does indeed have a sweet (though assertive) personality, and is the perfect match for our other 4 legged family members. Hannah does appear to have a hearing disability as well (it's a little bit more than the classic case of cat ignoring stupid human). We have all had to become a bit creative in order to avoid startling the poor girl by sneaking up on her unwittingly. Hannah is a happy and contented cat and a wonderful addition to our home. Stay tuned for more news on this lovely feline.
