‘That time outside makes her happy’
Susie Hewer from East
Sussex adopted her cat Shelley from a rescue centre.
“I’d been advised by the rescue centre that due to Shelley’s experiences, she would be best suited to being an indoor cat,” said Susie.“We have a large garden, away from people, and I wondered whether I could take
Shelley outside on a lead. I tried it once and it didn’t go well. I then found Supakit’s harnesses and went through the harness training with the Supakit Academy (supakit.co)
“The video tutorials were brilliant and the whole course was about fun and working up to the first outing. I had a trail of cat treats leading to
the harness! At first, we practised just walking around the house on the lead before building up to the garden, and
I think it was literally just two steps outside before she ran back in. Now, we’re up to about 10 minutes and that is ideal for Shelley, that time outside makes her happy and she has interests both inside the house and outside.”
