Everything was going well for Matilda, a 12-year-old cat who had a family, until the family moved. Her owners could no longer keep her, and she ended up at the shelter Blue Cross of Burfordin England.
Despite her kindness, she had to wait 50 days to find a forever home, reported Metro.
« She was such a nice girl, but it took us longer to find her a home, because she had no mustaches and had hairless areas on her face, in addition to her age and color », explained Laura Morrisof Blue Cross.
Matilda had, in fact, lost his whiskers and no one knew why. The feline didn’t seem bothered by it. They are of great importance for cats, being sensory organs sensitive to vibrations, smells and wind in particular.
