Poe's Forever Home

The day Poe met his new adoptive parents, it was love at first sight!

Why the adoption?
I had to downscale and move to a smaller home in a secure estate!

The reality with estate living is that hardly any allow cats. The security and lifestyle offered is a big attraction, and is becoming the norm for many South Africans, especially single Silvers. Living alone in a free-standing house simply is not safe.

My home looked like a prison inside, with slamlock gates securing the sleeping area; something my son arranged to have installed. I felt safe when home alone. But I did not want to live behind bars! Yes, I had a large garden, and a lovely home, which was my little haven, but it was time to move on.

Poe was my comfort during sad times, instinctively knew when I was having a bad day, and used to follow me wherever I went; whether it was meeting new guests, hanging up washing, or working in the garden. He even joined me at the dining room table, but his favourite place was sleeping on my bed while I was tapping away at my keyboard.
