Bullied cat Lizard is safe and loved now

After being bullied by a group of children as a stray, Lizard’s trust in humans could have been shattered. But he’s still so full of love.

The young tabby, thought to be about one, was thankfully saved by a member of the public who then ensured he got the care he so desperately needed at our Hertfordshire rehoming centre.

Sarah Miller, Animal Welfare Assistant, says: “Lizard was hanging around an area and some teenagers were throwing stones at him, and then someone witnessed him being put in a bin.”

Unsurprisingly, Lizard was very nervous initially. But it didn’t take him long to come out of his shell.

Sarah continues: “He did hide in the corner of his pen for the first few days. And he does still find loud noises or banging sounds frightening.

“But he’s really come out of himself and is a real little sweet character. He will now want to sit on your lap and loves lots of fuss.”

And it didn’t take long for a new family to fall in love with Lizard, either. He was soon being showered with love in a new home backing on to fields for him to enjoy and explore.
