Cookie was one of 18 cats and kittens found in poor condition at the property.
An emaciated cat that was found in the care of an illicit breeder has found her forever home in Glasgow.
Cookie was one of 18 cats and kittens discovered in a bad way – showing flu like symptoms, severe faecal matting and ringworm – at the unlicensed breeder’s home. Many of the feline, which were found by officers at the Scottish SPCA, also had pronounced facial deformities that affected their breathing.
Amongst these cats there was Esmeralda who got renamed as Cookie by her new owners. She and the rest of the cats that were found were taken to a Scottish SPCA centre and were checked over by vets before Cookie was transferred to the Glasgow Centre where she started her long recovery journey before being adopted.
Glasgow Live reports that while she was in the care of the Scottish SPCA, Cookie was very sweet and affectionate, she loved a head scratch and scrunchy toy, and truly won the hearts of the team at the Glasgow Centre. After care, time, and patience, with her recovery the cat was finally ready to start her next journey. Esmeralda found a home with Amy and her young daughter who lovingly picked the name Cookie.
She has settled well into her forever home and is a calm, placid girl who still loves cuddles and head scratches as much as she did while she was in the care of Scottish SPCA. She has quickly become a cherished part of the family. Cookie is relaxed by nature but she also loves to chase small, fast-moving balls, and she is often seen bursting into zoomies around the house.
Amy was searching for a gentle, child-friendly cat who would be content living indoors in a tenement flat when she found Cookie, and she has clearly been the ideal match bringing so much happiness and love into her new home.
