Helloooo my name is Saffron

I came into the sanctuary a few months ago now along with three other cats I previously lived with (Asher, Sammy and Apricot). We were rescued from a multi cat household as our owner had some mental health problems and required help. None of us were neutered and so this resulted in more breeding. There was 19 of us in total including some young kittens that sadly passed away. They had bad cat flu suspected to be feline herpes virus. We was all rescued by a boarding facility and dog rescue helping the council by taking us in. They got us all neutered and vaccinated and then found cat rescue help for the four of us here at the sanctuary.

I was very nervous when I first arrived at the sanctuary. I was quite flinchy and wary. In my previous home I was not used to being around many people and was isolated. We all went through some trauma which affected me. Over the past few months I have settled more and grown in so much confidence. I am a much happier girl now. I enjoy being around more people and enjoy some gentle fusses. I often rub around my carers legs. I am also very playful and enjoy batting my toys about. I have a cute habit of walking around with a toy in my mouth chirping. I can keep myself entertained with toys but I also love when the humans play with me too!

Due to living in a multi cat home with the poorly kittens it is possible that I am a carrier of the feline herpes virus (common cat flu) however I have not shown any symptoms of this and I am otherwise a healthy young girl with no current health concerns.
