Sadly Bluey is no longer with us. Bluey came to us as a very frightened and unhappy cat. Our vet thinks he is around 10 years old, and we have had him with us for 5 years. It is not difficult to see how he got his name - 'ol blue eyes! A lot of white cats have a disorder which makes them deaf - Bluey is one step further, he is also blind.

When he first arrived, he screamed a lot. He was in utter confusion, and being surrounded by 40 or so other cats must have made him feel even more so. The constant talking round by one of our helpers helped mend his sorrow, and he has turned out to be a very affectionate and loving friend.

Bluey will not be rehomed. He has a fear of being moved to a new environment, and an attempt at rehoming proved this point. When you go into the room, and call his name (loudly), he looks (in a staring fashion) all around him, so there must be some hearing there. He soon figures out where you are, and puts his front paws on your knee, and proceeds to scramble up on your lap!

Heaven help the ladies wearing nylons!

Bluey was on our Adopt-a-Cat scheme. For a minimum of £5 a year (which helps with his board & lodgings), adoptees got a photo & Certificate of Adoption. (They even get a Birthday card from HIM on their Birthday!), this also applies to other unadoptable cats in our care.

Some of the "guests" at the Sanctuary. How could you resist not homing them.
