Aoife came to us in late March 2019 after she was found as a stray outside. Her foster reports “I fell in love with her the day I brought her home. I named her Aoife because it’s the name of a mythological warrior princess. I thought she was a pretty tough little rat to survive on her own outside in the middle of the winter.”

She came to us with what seemed like a mild respiratory infection, but upon a visit to the vet it was found that she only has one functioning lung. Fortunately she had already made friends at her current foster home and her foster is happy to love her and keep her comfortable in her remaining time. Her foster says, despite her condition being “definitely heartbreaking, Aoife is a sweet and brave little thing. We will give her a comfortable life with the time she has, and for the time being at least she seems like a happy little rat.”
