Drogheda: Ginger Cat at Magdalene Tower

    Hi all.
    During our last holiday in Ireland I and my wife spent some hours in Drogheda. We visited the town and walked up to the Magdalene Tower where we met a lovely and wonderful ginger cat.
    He was sunbathing in the green before the tower but as soon he saw us he ran to us and started rolling on his back and purring. He let us pet him and was so friendly.
    What struck us was the very close resemblance to a cat of ours who went to the Rainbow Bridge two years ago... frown.png
    He looked very much like my cat, he acted like him, he was even poking his tongue out like my cat used to do. I thought he was my cat born to a new life... frown.png
    My wife, who doesn't particularly loves cat, was fascinated by him and thought the same thing as me.
    We left the place after half an hour but kept thinking about him for the rest of our holiday (three weeks). I was sure I could forget about him once back home, but after four weeks I'm still thinking of him.
    Does anyone of you lives in the area? Do you know if he already has an owner or if he's a stray?

    His left ear's tip has been cut away, so I presume he's been neutered by someone who takes care of him.
    I fell in love with him, any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe see if you can contact any animal rescues or a vet in the town to see if they can put you in contact with the cats carers.

    Ginger, as he is called by many, is a stray that is fed daily by several locals and well known and loved by all who pass there regularly. He has hung about around the tower for many years (at least 6 that I know of) and in colder months is welcomed by a local man into his house. I walked by that way this morning and who came over with a miaow only Ginger!! So rest assured he is well fed, is well taken care of, and is a much loved stray here in Drogheda.

    Thank you so much for this cute post! :)
    So he's at least 6 years old, nearly the age of mine when I found him...

    I am so in love with Ginger and so convinced that he was my cat Tom back to life that I would have done everything for him, even adopting him whatever it would have involved.
    Hope to be back there next year and spend some more time with him :D
