Hello,

Im Tilly, from England :wave3:

I decided to finally sign up today after all my google searches led me here and helped me out in the past weeks!

Ive had a very hard month+ after losing my furry soul mate at the beginning of April in very quick and shocking circumstances for the whole family. Her name was Sooty, she was 17 years old and I miss her so much.:(
Here she is: C5A2447D-7C71-4722-9EDD-50771CBB4BCC.jpeg

With a complete broken heart and feeling in despair, I thought about volunteering at my local cats shelter to deal with the loss in some way.
Whilst looking at their website I found a little litter of kittens available and ended up adopting one of them, (a lot sooner than expected as I felt id never have a cat again, let alone so soon!) But I couldn't ignore it as I felt my Sooty had put it there for me to see.

We now have a beautiful little kitten, her name is Coco, shes 13 weeks old:

Looking forward to chatting to other cat lovers and sharing some feelings that I have been struggling and hopefully help others along the way. Sad to be starting my sign-up here on such a sad note but hopefully things will get better. Thanks and hope to speak to you all soon.

Hello and welcome to TCS. :wave2: Condolences on the loss of Sooty. :alright: She was a beauty. RIP sweet girl. :angel:

If you're up to it, we have a Crossing the Bridge forum where you could post a tribute to her.
Congratulations on the (unexpected) adoption of sweet little Coco. :catlove: I hope she will help heal your broken heart. :hearthrob:

Hyperactive- thats for sure. Its been a long time since I had a kitten so I feel like a cat mum in training!! Thanks :)

Thank you all for your lovely welcome and kind words for Sooty :angel::wave3:

Welcome Tilly
We are both new here and this is a great site. I recently lost my beloved Chessie, she was also seventeen. You made the right choice in getting a new little friend. Your little Coco is a real darling. Who couldn't fall in love with a face like that.
Jack
