After spending months living in a shed, a cat found kind people to help her, a couch to herself, and the life she had always deserved.

For months, a tabby cat lived quietly in someone's garden shed, surviving on the kindness of strangers.
When volunteers from The Stray Cat Club learned about her situation, they stepped in to help. A scan revealed that the cat was microchipped, with records tracing back to an owner from more than ten years ago. "When we made contact, we were told she had been given away when that owner left the country," the rescue shared.
Despite their efforts, no further information about her past could be found.

The Good Samaritan who discovered the tabby shared her story locally, but no one came forward. "We don't know where she has been in the years since, or how long she may have been in this area, only that she had been living in a shed for quite some time."
Once it became clear that the cat had no home to return to, she was taken into the rescue immediately. "Leaving her living in a shed was never an option."

A foster family was quickly arranged. For the first time in a long while, the cat named Chamomile had a warm, clean place to rest, plenty of nourishing food, and caring humans reassuring her she was safe and loved.
Chamomile is an older cat, calm and easygoing, with only a few teeth left. While she doesn't have kitten-like energy, she more than makes up for it with her sweet disposition and a deep love for snuggles.

Once she realized she was safe, Chamomile made herself right at home. She claimed the pink blanket on the couch, stretched out on her side, and drifted off to sleep. All she had ever wanted was a cozy place to lounge and the comforting presence of her people.
"Chamomile is an easy, affectionate cat who still has plenty of life and love to give."

In case someone was still searching for her, the rescue spent nearly a month trying to locate her family. "When she came into our care a few weeks ago, we hoped someone might recognize her and come forward."
When no one did, the rescue team shifted their focus to finding Chamomile the place where she could finally settle in for good.

Chamomile has truly blossomed as a house cat. She loves spending time with her humans and basking in the comforts of indoor life. She happily kneads her favorite blanket or her beloved teddy bear, filling the room with her rumbling purrs.
"She adores being stroked, enjoys company, and likes to be close to her people, soaking up all the quiet attention she can get."

With a cozy couch to nap on whenever she pleases, Chamomile seems completely content. Her days of roaming the streets, searching for food, and sheltering in a cluttered shed are now behind her.
What brings her the most joy is simply being near her people, receiving affection and returning it tenfold.

Though Chamomile may be older and less playful, she is charming and wonderfully laid-back.
She leaves the curtains untouched, fills the home with the soft hum of her purrs, and makes the perfect couch companion, office assistant, and kitchen supervisor.

This sweet girl is now thriving with the support of dedicated volunteers committed to finding her a forever home, where she can spend her golden years surrounded by warmth, comfort, and endless love.
