 I’ve loved animals for as long as I remember, knowing at a very young age that I could not bring myself to eat them, despite growing up in a regular meat and veg family. I dream of someday living self-sustained in the country-side with my own sanctuary. I’m a passionate animal advocate who helps to make a difference every day working as the Visual Communications Manager at SAFE. In my spare time, I dabble in art and illustration.

 

When I went to Black Sheep last year, I absolutely fell in love. Each animal had such character and their happiness and love for their safe environment was clearly visible. While I made friends with most of them, I found myself frequently sneaking around the corner to visit a very old cat, named Nanna Cat. At first, I was unsure whether this little cat was after attention at all – her face seemed angry and she looked at peace basking in the sun – but as soon as I reached out to pat her, she ‘head butted’ my hand and flopped over for more.

 

“Nanna Cat came to us in 2011 as a very old cat under threat of being shot. She spent her remaining days with us helping to foster and socialise wild kittens and being the boss of the house! With just two teeth and a huge attitude she stole every ones hearts! We never knew her exact age so stopped when we thought she was 21years old, so she will be forever 21!

Sadly lovely Nanna cat died last winter (2016) after a decline in liver and kidney health. Rest in Peace Nanna.”
