STAFF at the Blue Cross in Bromsgrove are looking for someone to offer a home to a cat who they believe has been overlooked by potential new owners because ‘she looks too grumpy’.
Pauline, a four-year-old white cat, has now been at the centre in Catshill for more than 100 days.
She has received little interest from people and the team think it is due to the peevish demeanour she portrays in photos.
However looks can be deceiving, and the team at the centre think Pauline is just misunderstood.
Caroline Oram, Blue Cross Bromsgrove’s admissions co-ordinator, said: “Pauline is still on the hunt for her dream home, and despite her ‘resting grump face’, she’s a sweet girl who loves to interact and play.
“Stress from her previous home has left her with a bit of hair loss, but as her confidence grows, so does her fur.
“She’d thrive in a calm, cosy home where she can be the centre of attention, complete with a garden for sunbathing and exploring.”
Pauline is currently in one of the charity’s volunteer foster homes while she waits for her new home, where she is said to be thriving.
Caroline added: “Pauline would benefit from a quiet home where she is the only pet, so she can have all the fuss to herself.
“She did live with dogs previously but was very worried by them.”
Staff say she could live with older school-aged children who would offer her some time and space to settle into her new home.
And she will require outdoor access once she has settled into her new home, as she does like having a potter in the garden and a sunbathe in the nice weather.”
The Blue Cross is on the look-out for more volunteer foster carers who can help them to care for more pets like Pauline across the country. Foster carers receive full training with all costs, including travel, covered by Blue Cross.
Anyone who feels they could give Pauline the new home she deserves or anyone interested in volunteering and fostering a pet for the charity should visit: bluecross.org.uk for more information.
