Cute kitty Clover finds a new home with gran

-

YOU may remember the cute cat who was abandoned in a graveyard near Pole Moor last month.

Well, Clover has finally got her happy ending after a pensioner adopted her.

The ginger and white domestic shorthair now has a new home in Ossett with 83-yearold grandma Shirley Bodenham.

“Clover is a lovely little cat and she’s very nice company,” she said.

The 10-year-old feline had been found underweigh­t and in a lot of pain before being handed in to the newlyfound­ed Huddersfie­ld Feral and Strays group.

Her plight really tugged on the heartstrin­gs of Examiner readers, with many offering to help in any way they could.

Commenting on the Examiner’s Facebook page, Richard Whiteley wrote: “I’ve never seen a little cat look so hurt.

“I’ll give a tenner of my dole towards her first week’s food to any caring person who will give her a nice home.”

One of Shirley’s three children spotted Clover’s story in the Huddersfie­ld Examiner and contacted the rescue group.

Shirley said: “My eldest son knew I hadn’t had a cat for 13 or 14 years. The previous cat Ginny I had for 21 years - from she was a kitten until she died.

“I’m on my own now and he decided he’d get Clover for me.

“She was a bit nervous when she first arrived, but she’s settling in well.”
