When Miss Kitty’s beloved human passed away, his daughter reached out to My Grandfather’s Cat to help find her a second forever home in Edmonton, Alberta.

She began working with our volunteer, Melanie, to find a home for Miss Kitty in Edmonton, Alberta. When she began to learn more about Miss Kitty, Melanie remembered a lady named Stephanie who had previously applied for an MGC adoptable.

She reached out to Stephanie, who instantly fell in love and wanted to adopt her. Within the week, Miss Kitty — now lovingly called Clara — had moved into Stephanie’s home.

As Clara had been living alone for six months with frequent visits from her humans’ family, Stephanie knew it would take time and patience for her to adjust to her second forever home.

It took 81 days for Clara to start to show her true personality. Over those three months, Stephanie talked gently to Clara, giving her space and time to adjust — providing her food, shelter and companionship until she was ready. Finally, Clara came out from hiding and showed her true self! She cuddles with Stephanie, sleeps with her, they have frequent brush sessions and Stephanie even gets kisses.

‘I think Clara and I have rescued each other! I wasn’t ready to adopt another senior cat for a long time after my beloved Louise passed away two days before her thirteenth birthday, but learning about My Grandfather’s Cat changed that. They do amazing things for cats and care deeply about both the humans and cats. I’m so happy that Clara has come into my life. She is purrfect!’
