CHICO

The above picture shows Chico in CP Care
and looking for a new home.

Below is his story to a a very new home,as the photo's below show.

We were contacted by a family friend in Stoke who Rowena had approached to see if she could give Chico a home. Unfortunately as she already had two cats who don't have FIV, she didn't think it was fair on them to bring an FIV cat in with them. She knew that we'd lost our last cat Lotta, in July after we'd had to have her put down due to breast cancer. We hadn't really considered getting another cat yet, but when we saw Chico we were smitten with him and didn't think twice! Our first cat had FIV, so we knew the situation we were facing and that he would be an indoor cat.

We drove across from York to Macclesfield to meet him in October, and our only disappointment was that we couldn't take him back with us there and then! He was such a friendly cat and desperate for a cuddle and a bit of attention. However, as were were away for a few weekends in November, we didn't get the chance to re-home until the start of December.

Chico finally arrived to live with us on 6 December and it's hard to believe he has only been with us for 3 weeks - it seems like we've had him years. He loves to sit on the windowsill staring out over the fields and watching the birds in the garden. That's when he isn't happily curled up asleep in numerous places around the house which have become his. There's no need for an alarm clock on a morning anymore either, by 7am he'll move from his position at the foot of the bed to come and climb over one of us to let us know it's breakfast time!! This is usually followed by a loud meow if you happen to be in a deep sleep! Chico also loves to chase sweet wrappers - if you crinkle the wrapper he'll be chasing it around the floor like a football within seconds, no need for expensive toys with this lad!

It's hard to imagine life without him already. If he's not sat sprawled across your knee he's two steps behind you if you go into the kitchen, just in case there is the opportunity of a bit more food.....
