She's so adorable.

I hope that she'll be able to find the purrfect home soon.

She's beautiful. Good luck placing her.

If I had the money, I'd have her flown to the states. We could certainly find a place for her that wouldn't put her to sleep just because she is deaf.

Clare, I live on a TINY little island called Bahrain, in the Middle East. We only have ONE shelter, and unfortunately at that shelter a lot of animals are PTS every month (I have seen numbers as high as 100 dogs and cats per month). There is a HUGE problem with feral and stray cats here too, so if you wanted a cat you could basically go behind any restaurant and find a litter of kittens and just take one!

Because the shelter has limited space and funds, they only keep the healthiest prettiest animals, who have the best chance of being chosen. So there is a VERY high chance that this little one will not even get the chance to find a forever home - she could be PTS immediately as she is not " 100% healthy".

I HAVE already spoken to the shelter, and the manager says she will do what she can to help, but I am so scared that I will take her there, and there will be an " admin error" and she will be PTS without them notifying me.

Hope you understand the situation now. I already have one deaf cat (I did get him from the shelter, but they had not realised he was deaf - he was VERY lucky!!!!).
