Cat found abandoned with heartbreaking note from ‘sorry’ owner
An abandoned cat was discovered with a ‘heartbreaking’ note pleading to be adopted by someone who will ‘love me more’.
RSPCA staff at its Manchester and Salford branch rescued poor Lilo after his ‘sorry’ owner could not look after her anymore.
The ‘frightened’ one-year-old was found with the handwritten letter attached to her neck, detailing she loved nothing more than to snuggle on the bed.
‘My name is Lilo (Lee-Low) and I am one,’ it reads. ‘My mummy is sorry and she loves me very much but she can’t keep me anymore.
‘I love treats and soft blankets to make biscuits on. I am an indoor cat too. I love to play and am very independent but I do love a snuggle and to sleep on the end of the bed at night.
‘I am a good girl and my mummy hopes someone will love me more. Please take care of me.’
The note ends with: ‘PS: I have been with my mummy since birth so I am not used to other people.’
The RSPCA shared the note on Facebook on Thursday, outlining how they found Lilo.
The story must have touched the hearts of many cat owners out there as staff said they had found her a new home based on her care instructions.
‘This is Lilo. She was found abandoned with this note. She was a very frightened, timid cat but thanks to the details provided by her owner we were able to place in a foster home that replicated her original home,’ the post said.
‘She soon settled and forged a strong relationship with her foster mom.
‘This enabled us to introduce her to new people and find Lilo the purrfect match of an adopter for her.
‘Today we are taking Lilo to her new, furever home to a very excited adopter.
‘We want to say a special thank you to her foster mom (she’s American) and her adopted mum, for without them both we could not have made this happen. A great success based on team work.’
