Cressida
Cressida is our little princess. My husband and I recently moved into our new house and we wanted to add a fur baby to our family. We had always talked about adopting from SPCA so we looked on the website and read Cressida's story. She was young when she had a litter of kittens and she was such a good mummy that she adopted 4 more orphaned kittens into her litter. It totally captured our hearts and we were desperate to meet her. It was love at first sight. She was nervous but would just bunt our hands and it was clear she wanted to show us love. She settled in so fast to her new home and loves her food. We get told off by her if we are late to feeding her breakfast or dinner and she runs if she hears plastic scrunching thinking it's her treats. She is super playful and loves her fish on the string, she also loves doing zoomies around the couches and particularly bounces off the walls. She has her favourite places to sleep as well, she loves just being next to you on the bed or in her cat igloo. She is so affectionate and such a wee character. We love her to bits, she is our princess meow meow (she's a chatter box).
