Cat found abandoned days before Christmas in Wolverhampton finds new home
A cat which was rescued just days before Christmas last year after she was abandoned in a property in Wolverhampton has found a new home.
The young tabby and white cat, who has since been named Pudding, had been living in poor conditions with another cat – surrounded by rubbish in the property.
The other cat, named Theodore, had been living in the chimney of the upstairs bedroom. It took RSCPA officer David Hollinshead some time to find both cats in the property when he attended on December 21, 2019.
The two cats were taken to the RSPCA's Newbrook Farm Animal Hospital, in Birmingham, before arriving at the RSPCA Gonsal Farm Animal Centre, in Shropshire, for rehoming.
Theodore was rehomed in January, but sadly, due to no fault of her own, Pudding was still looking for a home when the coronavirus pandemic hit – and the charity had to pause all its rehoming and close its centres.
She was transferred to RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre in Surrey during lockdown – but has now finally found her forever home with Lyn Pugsley, in Surrey. Lyn and her husband Stephen adopted Pudding after their previous cat, George, died as a result of a brain tumour.
Deserves
Elizabeth Wood, deputy manager at RSPCA Millbrook, said: “Despite what she had been through, Pudding is such a friendly, affectionate and playful cat. She liked nothing more than being the centre of attention.
"Poor Pudding was in RSPCA care for 244 days which is a long time in a young cat’s life so she really deserves her second chance at happiness now, and we are so glad she found it with Lyn and her husband.”
Lyn added: “Pudding is delightful. She talks to me all the time with her meows and sweet little noises which are very cute.
"Those eyes of hers are so enchanting and she has a little heart shape above her left eye too which we just love. We are so glad we could give a new forever home to our Christmas Pudding.
“She likes everything done for her. She will stand and meow at you to do things so she can be a little madam at times. She likes to play with her ball and will even pass the ball back to me now.
"She loves to lay on me in bed at night and have some fuss and she loves chasing magpies – unsuccessfully – in the garden. When you hear the magpies squawking you know that Pudding will be close by."
