Violet’s story is a heart-breaking one as she was sadly dumped outside one of our charity shops with her four kittens, all of whom were in a very poor state. The kittens were malnourished and suffering from sore eyes, while Violet herself was thin, exhausted, and understandably withdrawn. Despite everything she had been through, she proved to be a devoted and attentive mother.
With the care of our Rescue team and vets, Violet’s kittens soon gained weight, recovered from their health issues, and all went on to find loving homes. Sadly, it was then discovered that Violet was already heavily pregnant again. She gave birth to another litter while in our care and, once again, has been nothing short of a wonderful mum.
After many months of raising kittens and recovering herself, Violet’s second litter have now found homes of their own. At last, it is Violet’s turn!
Violet is a shy and gentle girl who will need a patient and understanding home. She is not the sort of cat who will immediately seek out attention, but once she feels safe, she happily accepts gentle strokes and affection. We do not know what kind of life Violet had before coming to us, but it is clear she has not always been shown the kindness she deserves.
Beneath her cautious nature is a sweet cat who simply needs time, security, and someone willing to let her settle at her own pace. We believe Violet could potentially live with a calm cat or a quiet, cat-friendly dog. She may also be able to live with older, sensible children who understand the importance of giving her space.
After spending so much of her young life caring for others, Violet is finally ready for a home where she can be cared for herself.
