Feline friends longing for a place together to call home

Two cats – Blue and Lucy – are searching for a home together after their owner became too ill to look after them.

Both cats were handed over to Cats Protection Bedford & Biggleswade, but months have gone by with the pair sadly being overlooked by potential adopters.

Despite not being siblings, Blue and Lucy are incredibly close from growing up together and enjoying each other’s company.

Cats Protection team leader, Tamsin Eastwood, said: “While it is lovely to see Blue and Lucy’s close relationship, it does make it harder to find them a home where they can stay together, and there is no splitting this pair up.”

Nine-year-old Blue is described as a silvery grey boy who may take some time to settle comfortably into new experiences due to his sensitive personality. However, with patience, he has been able to come out of his shell in his foster home.

Meanwhile, eight-year-old Lucy is a calm and brave cat and has taken Blue under her protective paw. She adores a tender stroke and likes nothing more than a nap.

Both cats are exceptionally easy going, desiring nothing more than a peaceful home without other pets or children where they can grow old. They would love a garden to explore.

Tamsin said: “We’re hopeful that someone will spot their profiles and see what lovely additions these two could make to their family.”

To enquire about adopting Blue and Lucy, or any other cats in care, please visit Cats Protection Bedford & Biggleswade at: cats.org.uk/bedford and hopefully they will find their forever home together.
