This is the happy ending story of an unadoptable cat dubbed “Devil Cat” who found her forever home just in time for the holidays.
Sky (aka Devil Cat) was considered unadoptable because she was known for attacking children on more than one occasion. She ended up at WellCats in Birmingham (UK) where sanctuary bosses had to turn down people who wanted to adopt her.
Cook Pauline Beasley, 70, founder of WellCats said in an interview with Express & Star News
“A lady dropped her off with us last year, we didn’t ask her why because usually it’s a lie, so up until Sky was a year old we didn’t know anything about her past – or why she has such a distaste to children.
She likes things to be as she chooses, she’s belted cleaners for tidying her pen wrong before. We usually don’t have the cats here for very long, but she had been here for a year.”
Ben Clayden and Marsha Goneia, a couple from Birmingham, saw pictures of Sky online and instantly wanted to meet her. The couple was told when they phoned WellCats that Sky was “troublesome.” They adopted her anyway.
Since Sky has joined the family she has turned over a new leaf. Ben and Marsha feel they connected with Sky and that on some level the pet has to pick the owner. They believe Sky is happy with them and they spend a lot of time with her.
They did admit Sky has some quirks
“She’s a very independent cat. She’s definitely got an attitude. If we try and move her things she quickly finds them and scatters them around the house to where she wants them to be she’s a very sassy cat.”
If Sky isn’t in the mood to play she just won’t. She’ll sit on her royal purple bed and ignore them.

I Love independent cats.
Blessings for Sky. I love a cat with so much personality.☯️☮️🐾💜💜🗝️
So glad she found a forever home. This is such a blessing indeed. I can’t say I blame her for belting the kids though. They are a pain in the ass. Have a Merry Christmas sweetie.
I have a cat named Lucian a.k.a Lucifer (by the kids) who is alot worse. She’ll go up to people for attention then attack w/o warning or provocation. I’ve had her since she was 5 or 6 wks old never been abused and is the bully of the house to other cats and people. I’m thankful that should she out live me my middle boy will take her as she’d never do good in a new home. I love her to pieces and would never give her up even though she’s mean to everyone but me and the one son.
Thanks for sharing Michelle. What do you put her character down to?
Not hard to come up with a reason or two why Sky does not like children is it? A shame she was labelled ‘devil cat’, sometimes a mix of experience & personality results in an individual cat like Sky.
Her new people sound like just the right family for her.
One of mine is his own cat, he won’t put up with any nonsense, from anyone. Sadly, he got that way via trauma & fear, but he is happy here.
Pauline is very well thought of in cat rescue in the Midlands & beyond.
Happy endings are so needed.
