The Purr-fect Package

It was love at first sight for Lorraine Strathdee when she came across Sofie on Facebook.

Sofie, the cutest black and white fluff ball, available on the Burdekin Pet Rescue Facebook page, was lovable and cuddly, but without her forever home.

However, a few weeks later, when Lorraine saw Sofie in the pages of Burdekin Life Newspaper, she fell in love and decided it was time to bring Sofie home.

Unable to get in touch with Burdekin Pet Rescue, Lorraine rang our head office, and we gave Lorraine’s number to our contact.

From there, the rest is history.

On the first meet and greet, Lorraine said that Sofie was so anxious she didn’t want anything to do with Lorraine.

But now, over a week since Lorraine brought Sofie home, she has been nothing but a bundle of love.

“It took a second for her to settle, and she would hide underneath the bed, but now, she follows me around, meows, loves to knock over photo frames, and she’s discovered she can fit behind the TV cabinet and gets covered in cobwebs.

“She was slow to settle but I was patient, and now I can pick her up and cuddle her.”

Although she did consider changing Sofie’s name, Lorraine decided against this with how nervous Sofie was, but now her nickname is ‘Baby’, which brings a smile to everyone’s face.

“Sofie was just the perfect package.”
