Good To Know

A twist of fate brought Steve and Georgina a surprise they didn’t know they needed while on vacation. Their trip wasn’t supposed to involve life-changing encounters, yet it turned into one they’d never forget. This is the heartwarming story of Rocket, a stray cat who stole their hearts and found a forever home. Steve and Georgina weren’t looking to replace their beloved cat, Oscar, who had passed away recently. But sometimes, life has a way of knowing exactly what—or who—you need, even before you do.

The encounter began by chance. While relaxing by the pool during their holiday in Mauritius, Steve and Georgina noticed a cat wandering nearby. Initially, they thought nothing of it and headed back to their room. But to their surprise, the same cat had followed them all the way there. They were quite stunned when the cat confidently entered their room and made herself at home by falling asleep on their bed.


“She must have belonged to a family at some point,” they reflected in the video below, noting that the friendly feline had been spayed. Having just said goodbye to Oscar, who had spent his last days struggling with health issues, they couldn’t help but feel an emotional connection to this new visitor. The little cat’s mannerisms reminded them of Oscar—right down to the familiar sounds she made.

Oscar suffered from a condition with his mouth and made certain noises. Rocket made a similar noise and they had a feeling she was suffering from the same issue. But the cat was undeterred and continued to be friendly and sweet. “She’s so brave,” Georgina said, marveling at Rocket’s resilience.

The next day, they rented a car and sought out a local vet. It turned out Rocket did have a painful mouth condition that needed attention. Despite being scared at times, the cat seemed to find comfort in sitting on Georgina’s lap—or Steve’s—whenever she needed reassurance. “We’d only known her for a few hours,” Steve said, “but we looked at each other and just knew—we couldn’t leave her behind.”

Determined to give Rocket a new life, they faced the logistical challenge of taking her home to the UK. With only three days left on their trip, they worked tirelessly with the vet to make arrangements. Georgina recalled tearfully asking, “How do we keep her? Can you look after her?” Thankfully, the vet had a solution. “Just give me five minutes,” she said before returning with good news: a foster parent would care for Rocket, ensuring she was vaccinated and ready for her journey.

Six weeks later, after a 13-hour flight and a long drive, Rocket finally arrived at her new home. Her first steps into the house were cautious yet curious as she sniffed every corner. Georgina and Steve greeted her softly, watching as Rocket began to settle down. She began to purr, her trust and contentment evident. It was as if she instinctively knew she was safe.

For Steve and Georgina, it felt like Rocket was sent to them by Oscar—a bittersweet gift that brought healing and hope. The sweet cat found her place in their hearts and home, where she continues to thrive.

  1. I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  2. Heya this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  3. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to
    be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think
    about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to
    hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a
    signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
