Hello everyone, my name’s Donald and I’m special. Well, that’s what they keep saying! I’m not available for adoption yet, but if anyone out there is interested in me, I am quite happy to take your details! I have been on my own for over a year, ever since one night when I went back home to cuddle in and the house was empty - there was no-one in and when I looked through the window, there was nothing…..everything, including my family, was gone! I don’t know what I did, had I hurt them in some way? I’ll never know. You can’t imagine how I felt, but I knew I just had to get on with it. I have spent the past year on the streets and my fur became covered in oil from spending nights under cars and I was just so cold in March when a wee man from Cats’ Protection took me in. I was standing shivering in his front room. I was very thin because I had hardly anything to eat because everything was frozen over. All I wanted was a drink of clean water. Anyhow, that’s all behind me, because I am now a healthy weight and have had all manner of things done to me, (if you know what I mean), including all my vaccinations and I have been microchipped so I won’t end up in this situation again. What I am looking for now is a nice family who will give me as much love as I want to give them but, at the moment, I need some TLC as I am not ready for adoption just yet. They say I’m still too ‘scruffy’, but will brush-up well! How dare they, the fur on the wee Cats Protection man’s head was thin on top! Anyhow, you can reserve me by contacting these nice folks and, as soon as I am ready, I’m yours but, remember, I can only go to one home, so, please don’t fight over me. Well, I must go as I can hear a tin of cat food being opened. Byeeee, Donald, the TLC (that's Tender Loving Cat!)

Note from the wee man from Cats Protection: Donald will be ready soon but he will need time to adjust in a new home as he has had a rough time having lived outside and fending for himself for such a long time, so please understand. He really is a loving cat who will need understanding owners. I know you’re out there somewhere. Thanks.
