Hi everyone, I’m Fifi.

I unfortunately found myself coming to the sanctuary in need of a new home recently because my owner had to move home and sadly could not take me with her. I had lived with my previous owners since I was 1 year old, so for 7 years and was loved very dearly! My human dad sadly passed away which was very difficult for me and my human mom, however we helped each other through it. My human mommy said that he was my favourite person and I loved him so much. Of course, I loved my mom too and she loved me. She recently found it very difficult to make the decision to rehome me, but after trying everything, she needed to find somewhere to live, and this new place had rules that said no pets were allowed (not even a quiet little Fifi!)

I was quite wary and grumpy whilst settling in here, which I’m sure is understandable as it is a lot for me to go through and I wasn’t sure what was happening. Thankfully, I began to trust the humans here after a few days and told them that actually I do want some tickles and cuddles please, but on my terms of course.

I am a lovely girl and do enjoy cuddles and attention, but will sometimes hiss or hit out if I have had enough or if something upsets or worries me. My previous owner described me as a friendly, quiet lapcat, which I have shown here too, but as I don’t like other cats and there are a lot of them here, my stress and anxiety levels are heightened at the moment. Hopefully, once I go to a new home, I will feel a lot more settled, happy and safe. I just need to find the right person/people who will give me a chance and time to settle into their home, without expecting too much of me too soon.
