“She is so tender It is playful, especially sweet when you remember
how many years old she is. I'm immensely proud in that Cats Protection matched me up with one cat so amazing”, said the cat's tutor.
In the first months of her life, in 1995, Flossie lived in the northwest of England, like a lost cat, near a hospital in Liverpool. Before Green, the cat had another owner, who worked at this hospital, and with whom Flossie lived for 10 years, until she died.
After the death of the first guardian, his sister took care of Flossie for 14 years, until she, too, passed away. Her third owner was her son, and the cat lived with him for another three years before ending up at the Cats Protection foundation.
“we stayed amazed when saw what you records Flossie's Veterinarians showed that she was 27 years old”, said foundation branch coordinator Naomi Rosling in a statement.
