Meet Beau

 A couple of weeks ago I was sat at work on my lunch break, and my mum sends across a picture of the handsome chap below. After a very quick phone call, mum was heading to Wood Green Animal Shelter to visit him, and about three weeks later he is happily settled at home with my parents!

Huge thanks to Georgia from Mapped Out for these pictures!

We are all pretty smitten with this lovely chap. Whilst I no longer live at home, I have been really enjoying visiting our playful Beau! It is so funny to watch when he is in a playful mood, as he chases his ball around the living room at such a fast speed. At the moment, he isn't a massive fan of cuddles but he is getting more used to being around people and he apparently sits in whichever room my parents are working in at home which is nice.

Wood Green animal shelter opened in 1924, and now has three locations in Heydon, London and Godmanchester. I have to say how impressed I was by the shelter in Heydon when we visited Beau. Each cat had such a huge amount of space, and you could tell that the people working there genuinely cared about the cats. Beau was sadly abandoned when he was younger, and spent a bit of time as a stray before being taken in by another family. Unfortunately, he didn't get on with their cat and so ended up at Wood Green.

Thankfully Beau's story has a happy ending! My parents are so pleased with how Beau is settling in, and it's so nice that they have been able to give this lovely cat a new home. If you live near one of the centres and are looking for a cat yourself, I'd really recommend visiting the centre.

Do you have any pets?
