Can you help this overlooked cat find her 'retirement home' ?
The Scottish SPCA are looking for somewhere Clementine can live out her 'golden years'
Last updated 14th Dec 2021
The Scottish SPCA in Aberdeenshire are appealing to find a home for what they've called an 'overlooked cat'.
Clementine is estimated to between 10 and 12 years old but has been overlooked in favour of younger cats.
Her medical needs have also proven to be a barrier for adoption.
She originally came to them as a stray and had to have her hair de-matted.
But since then Clementine has grown back her fur, gained weight and is feeling healthy again.
Centre manager, Louise Griese, said:
“She is a sweet but shy little lady.
“She loves to spend her days in a cosy bed, but is happy to get attention when snuggled up on someone’s lap.
“In the right home with lots of love we are sure Clem will blossom and grow in confidence.
“We are looking for an indoor home for her as with her age and temperament we think she’d be happier inside."
Clementine does have some medical conditions that any potential owner would need to consider.
Louise explains:
“She has hyperthyroidism but her bloods are stable. She currently requires medication three times a day which she takes with no fuss at all. We’re hopeful that in the future her medication could be reduced to two times daily, but she will need to stay on the medication for the rest of her life and have blood tests a couple of times a year.
“Unfortunately she has also had cat flu in the past and although she has recovered well, she will always be a carrier and will need to be the only cat in her new home.
“Sadly because of her medical needs and her age, she has had little interest.
“We are hoping that there is an understanding person out there who can see the wonderful companion Clementine could be and give her the chance she deserves.”
