So right before bringing out her birthday cake, Debbie told Lillian they had an extra special surprise for her.

They presented her with Marley and Lily and went straight in for a cuddle. "The cat just took to her immediately," Joseph added.

At first, Lillian didn't quite understand what was going on, she thought that Marley was just visiting her for her birthday party.

But then Debbie leaned in and explained to her that Marley was her cat now, Lillian couldn't believe this was actually happening to her.
