Congratulations to Cathy. Black cats have long had an unfair reputation, with many people around the world associating them with bad luck and superstition. Cathy never believed any animal could bring bad luck, but in Mr. Bean’s case, she can honestly say he brought her very good luck! Mr. Bean was found, along with another kitten (possibly his brother), abandoned in a bin and in a terrible condition. He was underweight, unwell, and had very little fur. Cathy took them both in as fosters, and Mr. Bean needed constant care, multiple baths a day due to stomach issues, and at night he would sleep tucked under the covers beside her just to stay warm. Because of the stigma around black cats, he was never adopted… so she made the easy decision to keep him. Today, Mr. Bean is thriving: healthy, full of personality and with a sleek, shiny coat. He loves going on walks with her family and their dog Chito (also adopted from PAWS-PATAS). He’s truly their little black panther and they feel incredibly lucky to have him in their lives. And yes… of course he got extra treats for helping her win the prize! Cathy has chosen to spend 150€ in a beauty salon and 100€ in her favourite restaurant.
