Firstly I would like to say a big sorry that I have not been back to this thread sooner and responded to all the messages. I have been busy with work and neglected this thread, sorry.
Secondly though I would like to announce that Buttons has been offered a home!
I am absolutely thrilled for him. He will be going to a home where they have had a diabetic cat previously and were specifically looking to rehome another one so I know he will be well looked after and understood. The only snag is that it is a long way down south so we will be making our intrepid journey next saturday to his new family.
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in Buttons. It really means a lot to me to know there are people out there that have never even laid eyes on him who are thinking about him and wishing him well.
Wish him luck (and fingers crossed hard that it doesn't fall through....just my paranoia that I hope!)
