Purdy finally found her foster home...
Purdy was brought to the door of Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue a few days before xmas of 2010 by someone claiming she was a stray. We do believe there is a strong possibility they were in fact her owners who realised that they had a cat that needed medical treatment and were unable to provide for her.
Purdy is of an age where it is only honest to mention that her twin conditions are life-limiting and the strain her thyroidism has placed on her heart due to non treatment has left her with a weak heart. But don’t tell Purdy that. She’s determined, with each ‘paddy paws’ she makes, to enjoy every day! Purdy has mostly good days with the occasional bad when her heart can struggle a little but we feel that this old lady really deserves to see out her days in a home of her own. Given her advanced years and medical conditions we think it unlikely anyone would want to adopt her even though her thyroid medication appears to have stablised the symptoms of her thyroid condition and greatly eased the strain on her weakened heart. She is in no pain and is suffering in no way from either conditions she has. Therefore Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue were seeking a foster home not too far from the base of our vets (Lochgelly / Cowdenbeath /Milnathort / Kinross) where Purdy can continue to be monitored by Sunny Harbour vets. As a foster placement her veterinary care costs will continue to be met by Sunny Harbour cat and kitten rescue.
Enjoy life Purry Purdy girl... you SOOO deserve it!

Purdy is a wonderful little lady who is currently charming staff, volunteers and visitors at Sunny Harbour Cat and Kitten Rescue with her amazing purrsonality. Strangely enough she is very aptly named and it was (we felt) the best possible name for such a happy, purry little girl.
When Purdy was assessed by Sunny Harbour’s vets we discovered that she has a heart murmur and thyroid condition and approximately 13 - 15 years of age. 
It takes a big hearted person to foster or adopt a cat like Purdy but we were delighted to finally find someone willing to offer Purdy a retirement home where she can live out the rest of her time as a loving lap cat who will reward your care with almost continous purring, affection and those ‘paddy paws’ of hers!
