Sooty - Dublin

Hi every-pawdy – I'm Sooty (a total diva.) I was found as a tiny kitten alone under a hedge. I was in a pretty bad state and the vet was worried that I was too sick to save. However, my sassy, never give up cat-itude shined through and I made it. I am so lucky that overnight I went from living in the hood to living in a beautiful apartment in Dublin rent free with my human who adores me.

I wake her up every morning at 4am to remind her how lucky she is to have me in her life. She doesn't seem to mind and tells me how wonderful I am- as I if I didn't know that already. I want to be the Nose of Tralee because I want to reassure all the lonely pets in shelters that love is out there.

Please don't give up. I went from living rough to being the most loved and spoilt floof in the world – your human is out there – just close your eyes make a wish.
