From the Titoto families

Letters from home.

A sleepy boy in Devon, a therapy cat in Surrey and a kitten who made himself at home in East Sussex. Four families tell Sheila what happened after collection day.

A letter from Devon

Percy & Nell.

Mr & Mrs Gardiner-Hyne

“They both have completely different characters but are inseparable.”

After losing a much-loved cat, the Gardiner-Hynes wrote to Sheila about a Maine Coon. She sent photographs of a brother and sister. The family decided to take them both.

While they waited, Sheila shared videos and helped them choose food, toys and a carrier. At collection they met the kittens’ parents and went through the arrangements for settling in. Back in Devon, Nell became the family explorer. Percy preferred to fall asleep in their arms.

A letter from Surrey

Florence.

Kate

“I wouldn’t be without her.”

As a kitten, Florence could unravel a toilet roll across the bathroom. Kate also remembers a gentle side to Tonka’s daughter. Florence liked to follow her from room to room and kept the family’s other cat company.

That easy way with people stayed with her as she grew up. Kate says Florence qualified as a therapy cat.

A letter from Surrey

Two arrivals.

James & Anna

When their twenty-year-old Maine Coon died, James and Anna wanted to find another companion for their family. A recommendation led them to Sheila. She first asked about their home, then invited them to meet a boy from one of her litters.

Sheila kept them up to date with pictures while he finished his vaccinations and vet checks. His half-sister joined the family a few weeks after him. James remembers how quickly the two became close, and how Sheila kept asking for photographs after both were home.

A letter from East Sussex

Chilli.

Tracie & Herbie

“Titoto ticked every box for us.”

Tracie and Herbie spent time researching Maine Coons before getting in touch. They remember Sheila’s knowledge of the breed, the care she gave the cats and how she kept them informed. When Chilli arrived, the affectionate young cat settled in as though he had always lived there.
