Cheryl lived every pet owner’s worst nightmare when her pet cat, Princess Minx, disappeared from her yard.
The heartbreak was unimaginable. And it was during these trying times that fate (and PetRescue!) connected her to a beautiful and sweet rescue cat, Topaz.
During her search for Princess Minx, it was this determination to find the lost cat that led her to extend her search on PetRescue.
“I always had a cat since I was little. I love them. Sadly our much-loved cat Princess Minx went missing and after many many months of searching, I came to the realisation that she may not come home. It was through my search for Princess Minx that we found PetRescue.
We had never thought of a rescue cat before but are so happy now we did!
I was looking through the listings on PetRescue and it was like this cat jumped out of my laptop at me and we knew then we had to have her! We wanted a cat that needed extra love and care.
On the day we adopted her l had a large zipped up area inside as she was very scared. She just stayed there sleeping. But I gave her some food and she gobbled it down. We just wanted to smother her with love but knew we had to go slow.
After four months Topaz came and sat on me for about five minutes which was the beginning of our breakthrough. She still wouldn’t go near my husband Michael but she slowly became more trusting. It was such an amazing feeling and the beginning of a special relationship.
Then one night when I was sleeping, l felt this presence next to me and opened my eyes to find Topaz between us. It felt amazing and we were so happy she felt comfortable."
Christmas without Topaz in my life would be sad. Topaz brings us so much joy and is a big part of all celebrations.
