My names Elsa & I have a husband Guy. We’re both retired, I’m 66 and he’s 78, don’t know where the years have gone! We’ve just joined yesterday because we’ve adopted 2 cats and as we love travelling, we need to find a sitter or 2 to look after these adorable kitty cats.

We relocated from the southern end of England to the North East 8 years ago after our daughter & son in law announced they were expecting our 1st grandchild. She’s a joy incidentally! We’d always had a cat or 2 but after our Tango passed approx 10 yrs ago, we’d thought we wouldn’t have any more. Last August our youngest daughter living in London sadly lost her best mate, Batman. 2 days later, a ‘bin diving’ very pregnant, scared cat arrived at her back door. She fed her and gradually Lady came indoors and gave birth to 5 kittens one of which died leaving 4 kitty’s. She couldn’t bear to rehome them to just anyone and never see them again so we have the mother (who’s a very scared, timid tortie) and the female kitten Silla. Lady still hasn’t ventured from my office but will allow me to stroke her. Hopefully with lots of patience she’ll grow in confidence and come out of her hiding room. Sills is a cheeky kitten!
