So my name is Dee , I love animals and have a great passion for mindfulness and health.

Most of my blogs are about my cat Hugo.

I lost my sister tragically in Nov 2015 . She loved animals and always rescued them. Living in a different country and grieving can be very hard .

My whole life felt like it was falling apart and i just wanted to isolate myself and distance myself others . Having taken 5 months off work I found it hard to leave my bed or apartment.

One day I decided to go to the Cats Protection and as I live on the third floor I was told I would only be able to enquire about indoor cats .
I was told that none were available but decided to go play with the cats they did have

When I was leaving a cat was coming back from the vet and was told I could see him , and that was the start to a beautiful friendship.

Hugo is a three year old Persian cat , he looks like a healthy cat but he has Fiv and a herpes condition in his eyes .
I had never heard about cat fiv but the workers in the cats protection explained it all to me .

He often gets conjunctivitis and runny eyes due to herpes in his eyes . All I know about his past is that his first owner passed away .
Not sure about the second owner but he has his forever home now.

His fur was a mess and he was very thin but I soon fixed that . All you need is love and time heals old wounds .
I had to leave the house to get him litter and food and hanging with little Hugo really boosted my mood !!!!
Rescuing him was in memory of my sister and believe animal therapy works wonders .

Hugo requires help every day . I clean his eyes a few times a day as they often fill so much he can't see if I don't keep it under control. He also refuses to eat any type of meat or fish and insists that jelly off cat food is enough !!

Hugo's been living with me for just over a year and my health is improving . I'm heading to China in the new year to work with cats and dogs rescued from the meat trade with the soi foundation . Might even bring a friend home for Hugo🙏

I'm just back from Malaga and while I was there I found Hugo's pet mouse in my backpack and took it on an adventure.....

I will follow this blog up with information on fiv , natural remedies for cats eyes and homemade foods .
