The two-year-old female long haired cat is a domestic feline who arrived in our care after she was found straying, very thin and having to fend for herself and her three young kittens. This poor soul had a severely matted coat — an obvious sign she’d been straying for some time and missing the love and care every pet deserves.

Due to the severity of her condition, Hope’s coat was causing her discomfort, which meant it had to be shaved off completely.

Thankfully her kittens have already found new homes, but Hope is still waiting patiently for her forever owner to find her.

She is exceptionally sweet, but can be very shy when meeting new faces, so will need someone special who can allow her time to build strong lasting bonds. She would be best suited to a forever family with older children, where she can receive outdoor access and daily grooming.
