Poorly cat Marvin was looking at spending his final days in a centre until a kind cat lover stepped in and took him home. When the nine-year-old moggy arrived at Cats Protection’s Tyneside Adoption Centre he initially appeared well.
When six-year-old Harley arrived at Gosport Cats Protection in January 2018, he was rarely seen by his fosterer, Heather Wood. Her very first foster cat, he would spend his days hiding away in a cardboard cat house in his pen, only coming out at night to eat and use his litter tray.
