Poppy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Poppy
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoisehell
Home: Cheshire, England
 
   Poppy came from the 'home for destitute and stray cats' a few miles from where we live in Cheshire, England. Three years previous we had been lucky enough to find Clarice our first tortoiseshell cat at the same home. The special lady Pat Wood who runs the home has rehoused over 30,000 cats to-date. We thought Clarice needed company and along came Poppy Gizmo! We got her at just six weeks old when her eyes were still blue - she was one of a litter of six kittens and the only tortie - all the other kittens were ginger/white. There she was fast asleep in the middle of the carrier cage. We called her Poppy and added Gizmo - as a kitten she had huge ears and a funny expression and resembled Gizmo from the Gremlins film!

    Poppy is affectionate and very playful, she loves chasing our other cat, climbing trees, and hiding in empty cardboard boxes. Life is never dull with Poppy around!
