I’ve been petsitting for a family who are also fostering this gorgeous cat, Missy 😻

She was picked up by animal control with her litter of kittens and dumped off at the pound. She was terrified (who wouldn’t be?) and reacting with aggression, but the foster family took a chance on her as they could see beyond that.

After a few weeks in her foster home she still has strict boundaries in place when it comes to touching her, but she is definitely softening and wants to be near you (just on her own terms). She’s a sassy girl who knows what she wants, and I love that about her!

Over time, with a patient and loving family, I really believe she will become a confident cat who will always have your back 💪🏻

If you are interested in adopting Missy, please contact Whisker Warriors Spain. She is neutered and can travel (currently in Murcia, Spain).

I’ll also be opening the second half of my 2026 calendar for bookings very soon 🐱

URGENT HOME(S) NEEDED‼️

Four fantastic cats are looking for calm, loving new homes; individually, in pairs, or as a family. Their devastated owner is sick and unable to take care of them much longer.

They are based in Roda, Murcia (Spain) but can travel . (A small budget is available to get them to the right home.)

All are vet-checked, neutered, microchipped, up -to-date on flea and worm medication, and they have received their initial vaccines.

They could be slowly introduced to other cats, but have no experience with dogs or small children. Some form of outdoor space is preferred.

Please contact me (634343723) or Lucy (634261461) for more information. And please share 🙏🏻

This weekend I had to say goodbye to my soul cat, Bailey, after a sudden illness 💔

Bailey arrived in my life almost 5 years ago (when he was around 10 years old), screaming at me from the road below the apartment I had just moved into. He was emaciated, uncastrated, covered in gaping infected bite wounds, had an ear infection/mites and fleas, was FIV+, and had a shattered jaw and teeth.

I was told by more than one local vet that he was an “aggressive street cat with a deadly disease that shouldn’t be around other animals” so I should just put him to sleep there and then. But we had already bonded and I knew that he had so much more to give. I had to fight for him and luckily the third vet (Clinica Veterinaria Levante) I took him to fought alongside us right up until the very end.

Bailey turned out to be the sweetest, most loyal, consistent, wise, tolerant, protective, loving, trusting cat I had ever met. He put up with all the waifs and strays I took in over the years and was with me through the lowest lows and the highest highs. He would always be the first in bed waiting for me to get in so he could make biscuits on my chest, after which he would go to his spot at the bottom of the bed to keep watch over me as I slept. Several times he almost ate me out of house and home with licky sticks. He liked to lick cream cheese off of crackers and butter off of bread when I wasn’t looking, and drink out of my water glass (which I only recently found out…). He loved to sunbathe, preferably up on a high ledge away from his annoying younger brothers. He would dribble all over me when he was happy. He had the crunchiest meow, which I’m sure used to concern the neighbours. He was partial to a bit of Valerian root. Occasionally he would do an unexpected zoomie and I would imagine him as the kitten I never got to meet.

Without him I wouldn’t be the cat lady, cat wrangler, and FIV advocate I am today 💪🏻 I’m very very sad, of course, but forever grateful to have shared these years with him.

Take my advice; appreciate every second you have with these amazing beings, take hundreds of photos and videos of them, play silly games with them, let them sleep in your bed, cook them an expensive steak every now and again, let them keep the Amazon box even if it looks out of place in your living room, don’t waste time being mad at them for being “cats”, look up from your screens and just be with them, take a chance on the wild-card cat, talk out loud to them as if they understand (because they do), love them with every millimetre of your heart even though you know it’s going to hurt to eventually say goodbye (and be with them, if possible, when they pass), take every lesson they teach you to better yourself in this lifetime, and always get a second, or even third, opinion if you have doubts (not all vets are good with cats or even like them).

Goodnight my sweet boy, until the next life 🌈 Love you always 🧡
