Hope, known in our home as Girlie, was such a huge personality. Despite being nervous in the shelter, she settled into our lives incredibly quickly once she knew she was safe and loved - she even surprised herself with her first purr since arriving with us!

I have never known a cat so full of love. She was incredibly affectionate with both her brother cats and any humans who walked through our door, but had very little sense of personal space and would regularly climb into the crook of your neck or on top of her sleeping brothers.

Our life is so quiet without her in it and we are still getting used to going to the bathroom or having a lay down on our own! We are so grateful to Ally and Chris for bringing this little ray of sunshine into our lives and we will forever feel the hole she has left behind.
