A pair of cats from our first litter came back to us for homing as unfortunately the couple's relationship had broken up and the guy had moved back into his parents house with the cats. His mother was allergic and told him he had to give up the cats and bless him - he did contact us. He was obviously heartbroken and the day we went to collect them he was in tears; his mother then pulled me aside and asked if I could just keep them for a week as she hadn't realised how upset he would be and she would go to the doctors and get some tablets to help etc. I said that that wasn't really a solution (as the guy would be there at his mother's for some time) and also I had a wonderful home lined up for the cats. I felt awful for the guy as he had obviously taken good care of the cats and they were well fed and groomed and he was really distressed.

However the cats are now settled in their new home and are very much loved and pampered. The original owner gets occasional updates from the couple who have the cats now (at his request) and he is happy that they are settled.

Poor bloke
