About Laura

This is Hero's brother-from-another-mother, Kampanelos. I also rescued him while living in Greece (hence his Greek name!). He'd been born to a street cat and was apparently a brave and sociable kitten, who decided he liked the local café and started hanging out there. That's where I met him, 6 or 7 years later, when I randomly went to that café with my laptop – and he just climbed into my lap and stayed there for 2 hours! The café loved and cared for him until he was about 7, until he started getting repeatedly sick and ended up essentially living at the vet. He needed to move to a home where he could be kept indoors, and none of the café staff could take him – so I did. I thought I was adopting a dying cat and giving him a good few final months. Then – zillions of vet visits and euros and medications and cuddles later – he got better! He was diagnosed with FIV, which explained the constant illnesses, and he has some sort of mystery allergy that makes him quite itchy still, but I found a great vet who worked with me to find the perfect treatment plan for him and now you'd never know he'd used up 8 of his 9 lives already. He's fluffy, healthy, and happy – just minus one ear and all his teeth (consequences of previous illnesses!). He's the friendliest, bravest, most confident, most sociable cat I've ever known. He's basically a dog in a cat's body
