When her beloved senior human suddenly passed away, Willow was in need of a loving second forever home. Her family wasn’t able to adopt her, so they contacted My Grandfather’s Cat.
The family began working with our Adoption Coordinator, Donna, to find a second forever home for Willow in Orangeville, Ontario. A few applicants came in, but one stood out, a couple named Christina and James.
“After our female cat, Lily, passed away suddenly in January at the age of 11, we were devastated. Not only did we grieve, but our male cat, Buddy, grieved as well. After a period of time, we started looking for another female cat as a companion to us and Buddy. We had been following My Grandfather’s Cat on Facebook and one day came across Willow, a 12 year-old female, and thought would be an ideal fit for our household.”
After speaking with Donna and the family, they couldn’t agree more and Christina and James adopted Willow.
Willow was a little nervous, but showed her sweet side almost immediately.
“She hid under our bed a lot for the first few weeks, coming out at night to explore the house and get acquainted with her new brother. She very quickly began sleeping between our pillows. We felt it was important for her to get comfortable at her own pace.”
Now, three months later, Willow is thriving with her family. She loves her brother, Buddy, and is deeply cherished by her mom and dad.
“It has now been three months and Willow is completely at home. Buddy and Willow get along great, playing and sleeping side-by-side. She loves chasing string through her cat tubes and snacking on chicken and shrimp once in a while. She has brought a lot of joy and energy into our lives.
We absolutely adore Willow and are so glad we get to take care of her for the rest of her life. We are extremely grateful to MGC and Donna for everything they’ve done for us and the service they provide, and to the family for choosing us to love and care for Willow going forward.”
