Cats and Allergies
24 March 2015
We
hear so many people telling us they need to give up their cat because someone
is allergic to them so this is a very heartwarming story which we wanted to
share.
Puss
Cat turned up as a stray in Eye in very poor condition. Her (now) owner was
very concerned but also very allergic to cats and contacted us. We had no space
at the time to take her in so she stayed in their shed whilst having treatment
from the vets.
Gradually
as she healed Karen became very fond of her and she crept into the kitchen
where she lived in the corner behind a perspex sheet. Karen kept a special
fleece which she wore only to give Puss Cat some fuss to prevent her fur
spreading.
Over
time access was increased and Puss Cat was gradually given her own fleece in
each room and has quickly learnt that these are the only places she can lie.
She also has a cat bed which she loves and contains her fur well.
At
Christmas Karen and family officially adopted Puss Cat and this lovely story
shows that with time and patience and a deal of commonsense even people with
severe allergies can enjoy the love and affection of a cat and the joys that
pet ownership brings.
We
love happy endings
