He makes a hard day seem so far away. I look forward to coming home because I know he’ll be there, waiting at the top step, rolling around the floor and showing off his tummy, happy to see me. I may now be the crazy cat lady I swore I’d never be, but I really couldn’t care less because the happiness I feel because of Goose is indescribable. The best thing I’ve done in a really long time was adopt this special boy. Not looked back once and never will!

When I first started volunteering I was terribly nervous.

I didn’t think I’d be good enough and I was worried that I would make loads of mistakes.  I soon found out I needn’t worry; everyone I’ve worked alongside both in Plymouth and at Tyneside has been nothing but kind and supportive.

 It can be scary at first but we’re all human and need to start somewhere, I learned that it’s totally okay to make a few mistakes – that’s how we learn!
