ARCHIE'S STORY
I was lost and alone for a very long time before the Cats Protection found me. Wherever I went I was turned away, and shouted at, I don't know why. My fur got matted and really pulled my skin, and then then I fell and hurt my leg. I was in a sorry state when a lady from the Cats Protection scooped me up and took me to the vets.
At the vets, my leg was x rayed and I had painkillers and antibiotics. I also had all my knotted fur shaved off, and they started calling me Archibald, which they seemed to think was funny. I didn't enjoy my next visit to the vets, when my manly bits were removed- oh dear.
Now I am a big handsome, furry boy, they call me just Archie now, and I am never in trouble, even when I am a naughty boy. I can't resist pouncing on the other cats who live with me, they are really old and no fun, and I am a baby at 3 years old.
My days are now spent sleeping indoors, or exploring my garden, I never go over the fence as I am frightened of getting lost again. My food is there for me when I click my paws, and I sleep anywhere I choose at night. This is the good life,- at last!
This is how I look now, quite handsome
don't you think!
