12th Gotcha Day Sunday Selfie
It's my 12th Gotcha Day on 21st July. I got adopted by Mum Marie from Wood Green in the summer of 2011 when I was just 10 weeks old. I had been abandoned in someone's garden and this amazing charity rescued me. They took care of me until I was ready to find a forever home. And the rest is history!
You can read about it in my book.

Happy 11th Gotcha Day To Me!
21st July 2011 is the day I got adopted. Mum saw a pic of me on the Woodgreen website and came to see me the next day. It was love at first sight and the rest is history! How could she resist me anyway? I was such a cute little tabby kitty!
Mum put together this video for you to watch and enjoy. Just some clips of me as a kitten and other highlights. Visit my youtube channel to see more videos of me and subscribe!
If you are visiting my blog for the first time and want to know more about my story you can read about it in my book A Forever Home For Athena.

Always Adopt If You Can #RememberMeThursday
Please always adopt pets if you can. There are so many animals in shelters everywhere waiting and waiting for forever homes. Some wait for ages, some never find a home and some sadly are put to sleep (which is so disgusting by the way 🤬)
Every animal deserves love and care 💟
And animals are capable of giving so much 💗💖 and more back!
For example, Mum needed me and I needed her, and we rescued each other.
I came along a few months after Mum lost her dad. On September 30th it is actually the 10-year anniversary since he passed.
Mum has always suffered from depression and anxiety and so took his death really bad. She had wanted a cat for ages up to that point, but after the heartbreak of losing her beloved tuxedo girl Suzy in 1998, she couldn't bring herself to let another furry soul into her heart. For years, she focused instead on her studies and writing.
Anyway, fast forward to July 21st, 2011, the best day ever for Mum and me - she went to Wood Green, The Animals Charity to adopt me!
She had seen me two days before on the charity's website.
I was at the shelter because I had been abandoned as a kitten. I was found in someone's garden and had been taken to Wood Green. They took care of me and soon I was up for adoption. As soon as Mum walked to my pen I started climbing the wire mesh door. She had come for me, I knew it. I had chosen her after all!
And the rest is history.
Here's baby me on the day I got adopted sitting on Mum's lap at home. I was just over 10 weeks old.

Happy 9th Gotcha Day to Me!
It's my 9th Gotcha Day on the 21st of July so we're celebrating today because we don't normally post on Tuesdays.
We cannot believe it's been nine years already!
Yes, it's been nine years since Mum adopted me from the amazing rescue charity Wood Green. You can read my rescue story here. All royalties from the book will be donated to Wood Green and two other charities we support.
Or you can watch Mum read the story to me on YouTube (but you won't be helping us fundraise there!)
And some more kitten pics.

This is me a few months older enjoying a walk in the garden with my harness on.
😻
And here's a little video Mum has put together of some kitten clips of me. The quality isn't very good but I'm sure you can see how adorable and playful I was.
