A cat who was cared for in GAWS’ shelter for 585 days finally found her happily ever after with her best friend.
Sadrina entered GAWS in May 2021 and spent 585 days in our care. She was a sweet and sassy cat with simple needs. She preferred her own company - until a cat named Azul came along. Azul was in GAWS’ care for 212 days. Azul and Sadrina became best friends in that time.
After months and months, and an unsuccessful adoption for Sadrina who was returned a few weeks later, the perfect pair found their perfect place in January this year.
Sadrina, now named Hades, and Azul, both five years old, are now members of the Helgstrand at Turnberry family. They live in the staff accommodation with Molly, Ute and Lyndall.
New owner Molly fell in love with the bonded pair. Here’s an update from new owner Molly:
“Ultimately, we wanted to give both a second chance after hearing how long they had been at the shelter. We thought they deserved some wide open space to explore and another opportunity to be cats! Hades has already proved herself to be a dynamic huntress and loves delivering us gifts during the night.
It, understandably, took both of them a little while to settle in. Hades spent a lot of time under the safety of a horse rug on the sofa and Azul spent most of his time on a dining chair under the table. But now that they have both settled and are used to us they spend a lot more time outside.
We love that Hades has so much personality. She talks constantly. We liked the fact that she isn't the most affectionate of cats because it shows that you've earned it when she comes for a cuddle. Azul is just adorable. We love his big tummy and his constant need for affection that he demands by pushing his head into your legs. He is on a diet but can still be heard through the ceiling when he jumps down from a chair!
Azul always reminds us when dinner time is approaching and Hades truly is the lady of the manor. This is most definitely her home and we are all her humble servants!
They've both brought us so many laughs. They brighten up the day and you know there is always someone to have a cuddle with at the end of it! We truly couldn't have hoped for better cats and are so grateful that we were matched with them to join our family.
Thank you so much to GAWS for matching us with both of them. Their personalities are fantastic!"
