Georgie

Well-loved longtime sanctuary resident Georgie came to us after being surrendered for peeing.

While out of the running for adoption due to this unfortunate habit, at the cat sanctuary his engaging, affectionate personality makes him a joy to have around.


Here he is with Squirrel, working out who's going to wash whom:

Georgie is just as ready to share a cuddle with his human friends, if not more so.

He knows several variations of the cat dance for attention:

Other times he may just look you squarely in the eye and talk to you until you get the point. Venture closer and you'll be rewarded with the very best purrs, rubs and headbutts. Now who could say no to that?

    I still call him George - that's what he was when we got him so can't get used to the ie on the end. He's got the greenest eyes and biggest purr - and he also knows his name and will come if you call him. Don't know how old he is but he's getting up there. He loves to be held and will hang on tight if you try to put him down. Love old George.
