And stayed forever – Skipton human resources expert Sarah Seastron and her purrfect pal Ginger
GINGER nonchalantly turned up on my doorstep about five years ago alongside a black and white cat. He was very, very friendly from the beginning and desperate to come inside the house. The black and white one (who, it transpired, is Ginger’s brother) wasn’t quite so chummy and obviously had no intention of sticking around.
I phoned the RSPCA to see if anyone had reported a cat missing, but Ginger wasn’t listed so I was advised to leave it for a week to see if anyone claimed him. They also said they would chip him if the owners didn’t come forward.
I didn’t feed him and tried not to let him in the house, despite his cheeky determination, just in case he had a loving home elsewhere. But, despite my best efforts, he set up camp outside the house on the front lawn and refused to budge.
