🐾 Pixie’s Story 🐾

Meet Pixie 💕 This tiny girl was born in our shelter back in May 2024 to her feral mum, Suzi. From the very first day, life threw Pixie some challenges. Her mum didn’t accept her at birth, so our foster team stepped in to get her warm, fed, and stable before successfully reuniting her with Mum later that night.

For three weeks things went well, but then Suzi sadly began to reject Pixie again. Once more our foster team became her lifeline - welcoming her into their home and, after a 2 week quarantine, introduced her to 3 other orphans her age, so she could have a little family of her own.

Pixie grew into the sweetest little soul, but just before she was ready for rehoming she became very unwell, and had to be isolated in a pen at the shelter. As a result of multiple infections and complications, she developed a fear of the litter tray, which meant she couldn’t be adopted in the usual way.
For months our staff tried everything to help her, because everyone who met her fell in love ❤️
Despite our staffs best efforts she was still struggling with the concept of using a litter tray and would go wherever she pleased.

Eventually we decided to let Pixie live freely around the rescue grounds. She was timid at first, but she slowly found her paws, grew in confidence, and even discovered her inner hunter! 🐭
All of our staff were thrilled to have her as a resident grounds cat here with us, but life had other plans for Pixie! 🥰

✨ Today we are absolutely delighted to share that Pixie has found her perfect forever home on Cloybank Farm in Falkirk! She’ll be living her best life as part of their mouse patrol team, whilst also enjoying all the love and attention from visitors at the farm café. Surrounded by Highland cows, alpacas, chickens, pigs, and more, Pixie’s future looks as bright as can be ✨

Pixie’s story is a reminder of what being a no-kill shelter truly means. Not every cat is ready for a family right away, but with time, patience, and care, there is always the right home out there 🥰 We couldn’t be prouder of our little girl and can’t wait to see her thrive in her new adventure. 💖
She has been adopted alongside Buttons, who is one of our other grounds cats. The 2 of them are the perfect pair! 😻😻

Good luck, Pixie - you’ve earned it! 🐾 We are all going to miss having you follow us around the grounds 🥲
