Just before Christmas we rehomed a lovely tortie female cat called Mittens who is now called Coco and is very much enjoying her new home.
Coco recently sent this lovely message -
‘Hello all of you at the GSPCA
I am sending this message to you all to let you know how I am getting on in my new home. I was adopted just two weeks ago.
Well I have settled in very well and my new owners are very pleased with me. I eat very well and keep myself clean and smart. Right from the start I decided to sleep at the end of their bed but don’t disturb them while they sleep which they are pleased about.
I have the run of all the house so can get plenty of exercise when I dash about, which is quite a lot. I love to play hide and seek with them, I hide and they spend quite a time looking for me, it’s great fun!
I still have two weeks to go before I am let into the garden and I will be going out wearing a collar and a lead in case I get scared and run away, I have had my final injection at the vets so I am now in very good health.
I am thanking you all very much for finding me and looking after me so well. My new owners love me very much and I know I will be happy with them.
With love from Coco (my owners wanted to change my name from Mittens to Coco, I do not mind as I can ignore anything they call me!)
Love from Coco Pleasant. I will keep in touch, hope you like the photos X’

“The GSPCA is a self-supporting Guernsey charity and we depend on the people of the Island for the funding needed, more so now than ever to maintain our work for the animal welfare and rescue work that is carried out 24 hours 7 days a week.”
