[3] Flossie lived with her first owner for ten years until their death, and was then adopted by their sister.
Green at first thought that the advert posted online by Cats Protection was a mistake, because the age listed for Flossie was 27 years.
[2] Green lived in Orpington and had previous experience caring for senior cats.
Despite Flossie's advanced age, she remains active and often will wake up early for breakfast, before napping and playing for most of the day.
