Description
Introduction:
Holly is a ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐-๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ-๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ญ who may be a bit ๐๐ง๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ at first, but once she feels safe, her love is unconditional. Sheโs looking for a ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ญ, ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ home where she can adjust to her new surroundings. Holly would ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ. This shy girl is perfect for someone who understands that love and trust take time. She may not always rush to greet you, but give her space, and sheโll soon become your loyal friend. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ง๐๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐๐ญ๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ. She also enjoys playing having rediscovered her toys. She particularly loves chasing string (or toys on the end of a stick) and playing with little furry mice โ just be careful as she's partial to eating their tails! She likes to go outside independently so this would have to be an option open to her in her new home. If you have the time and patience to offer Holly a forever home, youโll have a sweet, loving companion for years to come.
More about Holly:
Holly has been with us since she was a kitten and is now a young 7 years old (remember cats can live until they are 18 years old). ๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ. She can jump at sudden movement/noise and hates the hoover/hairdryer and will hide or leave when theyโre used. She rediscovered her toys and likes to play as well as occasionally going out to the communal garden behind us โ or just sitting on our terrace watching life go by. ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ as we wouldnโt want to restrict what she has now. A quieter garden would be better โ but she is used to the busy area where we are currently. We are in an upper ground floor flat โ no cat flap but we used to let Holly out when she asked โ although sometimes she just sits by the open door! She loves to sleep at the end of our bed, curled up on the sofa โ or she is happy finding an empty box, bag or any odd surface to sleep in/on!
Sheโs a beautiful tri coloured shorthaired cat with gorgeous markings. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค. Weโve been lucky with Holly as she hasnโt destroyed anything in our flat with only have a few barely noticeable marks on the leather sofa from when she suddenly runs off quickly when she has a mad five minutes โ usually just before needing the toilet!
Holly is social too but prefers quiet, so she comes out to join us in the evening and likes to sit on a lap and be fussed over - although isnโt too keen on being picked up or snuggled. She really likes being brushed too! I have bathed her a few times โ although she isnโt a great fan of water, she tolerated it well.
Holly finds our son, who can be quite loud and unsubtle in his movements and entrances into a room as well as our small dog a bit much and will often seek a quieter room when things are too hectic. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ ๐จ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. We may have to move soon and finding a suitable property that will take multiple pets will be tricky.

Holly has been ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ and was checked over by our vet in December and again in mid March 2025 when she ๐ก๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก. Included is some prescription strength flea and worming medication which is really what the fee goes towards. Also included are toys, brushes, a bed and a Surefeed Microchip feeder which keeps her food fresh all day long. She prefers to eat the same food daily, currently a mix of Purina One dry food and Gourmet Savoury Cake, both readily available. With regard to other medical issues, she went to the vets once before for an abscess under her jaw, which appears to have been from a bite after a fight but this is the only time she has had to go other than routine visits. She has also had her anal glands drained as theyโd got blocked up. Holly isnโt a fan of tablet medication so we have been using products which are put on the back of her neck. She tolerates it well and I used to do it just before bed, so it was dry to the touch by morning.
Holly was trained to use the human toilet (but doesnโt flush!), so we didnโt use a litter tray with her but she knows how to use one and would probably prefer this to using the toilet. So you have the option of using either going forward.
A friend of ours was going to take Holly but due to a change in their circumstances this is no longer possible, so we are now looking for her new forever home. Holly has been a great part of our family and we are sad to say goodbye to her but believe she will be better off somewhere quieter and where she can be the centre of attention. ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐, ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐, ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ.
