Black Cats
Black cats and
black & white cats often get overlooked in
favour of ‘prettier’ colours
Give a black & white cat or a black cat a
chance!
Shrinking Violets
Nervous cats
often too get overlooked, yet they can be the
most loyal pets given time. Earning their love
and trust can be very rewarding.
Indoor Cats
Want a cat, but
live in a flat? Some cats can be better suited
to the indoor life: cats with FIV, deaf cats,
blind cats, very nervous or elderly cats, or
simply cats that have previously been used to
living indoors. |

GORGEOUS BUDDY
Meet
gorgeous Buddy, nearly 6 years old neutered
chipped, now fully vaccinated. Sadly, Buddy was
left behind by his previous owner when they had
to leave their home very suddenly. He was also
suffering with a severe skin condition of over
grooming due to a flea allergy. We were alerted
by neighbours of his circumstances we collected
him and he was treated for his skin condition
given safety and food. Buddy was chipped but
unfortunately the details were incorrect. We
managed to make contact with another
family member and she gave us Buddy's history.
Buddy is all black with a fabulous personality.
He adores affection, rolls on his side for belly
rubs, loves his catnip mouse, his love of food,
sweet natured pretty much sums up this solid
boy. He really is a wonderful cat. He loves
outside space and sunbathing is one of his
favourite activities. He is slightly nervous at
first and can be nervous if unsure of certain
situations but overall, a very friendly boy. He
tends to be bullied easily by other cats so
ideally needs to go as an only cat in the
household and no young children.
Whoever adopts Buddy will love him for sure as
he really is a very special boy.

MEET GORGEOUS LUCKY
LOOKING FOR A PERMANENT FOSTER
HOME
VET BILLS SUPPORTED BY ORPINGTON CAT
RESCUE
Lucky
is a cream ginger and white male is a friendly
boy, still very agile for his age, we are
looking for a quiet home with a safe garden.
Lucky has been loved but sadly Lucky's owner has
now passed away and he needs a final home to see
out his retirement years. Lucky has been
diagnosed with kidney issues which means he will
need to be monitored by us and remain under our
umbrella paying for his veterinary treatment. We
have had Lucky fully vet checked, blood tested,
urine analysis and dental completed. He is 14
years 6 months old and with his medical
condition cats like Lucky are hard to find
people who will fully adopt. This is why we seek
long-term foster homes rather than spending
months in a cattery especially in their last
years.
Being a long-term fosterer, you would need to be
able to drive and visit one of our vets we have
accounts with which are all local in BR5, BR6
and BR1. If you have owned a cat before live on
a quiet road, have no other cats or dogs as
Lucky has never shared his home before, home
part or all of the day we would love to hear
from you. The golden oldies get overlooked by
kittens and young cats but yet golden oldies are
some of the most rewarding knowing you are
giving them a loving home in their twilight
years.
Can you open your heart and home to dear Lucky
if so please call 07799 264510
Thank you |
Jasper
Looking for a New Home
Jasper
was being fed by a lady for several months he
turned up very thin and young looking, he was
extremely nervous and would never come in the
house just fed outside. He gradually gained
weight and a little trust finally entering the
kitchen rubbing himself around the ladies' legs
briefly and she could stroke his head slightly.
He clearly was maturing into an adult also as
the chubby un neutered Tom cheeks appeared and
gained alot of weight. He wasn't sick or injured
so it was decided to gain his trust by not using
the humane trap but getting him in a secure cat
carrier to get him to vets for scanning and
neutering. As time as gone on he has become more
relaxed and eating well and playing with
dangling toys. He seems quite happy now after
neutering to be expected he has blossomed into a
beautiful boy but still extremely nervous but
can be stroked on his head for short periods of
time. We certainly don't think he needs a farm
or stables but someone with time and patience to
let him settle in we would consider a indoor
home with plenty of company with owners being at
home part of the day. Jasper will remain in
temporary foster care in a home not in a cattery
so he can continue to adapt. As you can see by
the photos he certainly isn't stressed and still
enjoying a now life of luxury. His life before
was miserable fighting for food with other
animals outside, sleeping in the cold weather no
shelter or warmth. He has doubled in size and
weight beautiful markings to. Can you offer this
handsome boy a permanent home to be loved maybe
one day he will be a lap cat as if he rubs
around your legs we are sure he will mellow more
in time.

Roxy
Meet gorgeous Roxy, 1 year old Roxy was found
straying and desperate for food she was a bit
skittish but friendly. After attempts were made
to find her owners it was clear she had been
abandoned.
After a few days we noticed the tip of her tail
wasn't right because she was Longhaired it
didn't really show and when we tried to touch it
she wasn't happy. Her back left foot also had
one toe more protruding. But this didn't seem to
cause her any unnecessary pain or mobility
issues.
She was checked at the vets and found the tail
was an old injury including her foot possibly a
RTA. Her tail had been broken on the tip end and
actually fallen off and healed with the bone
protruding and her back foot a toe with trauma
caused it to protrude longer than usual.
Roxy then started to have UTI / cystitis
symptoms so we collected a sample for testing
this all came back clear of no infection so not
a UTI, so maybe she was stressed with her tail
trauma.
We were unsure as with all young females if she
was spayed as this is not visible like males.
She seemed so ravenous for food we began to
think she was pregnant. Being a stray, young and
no chip these are all signs of lack of
neutering.
Roxy was booked to have her tail tip removed and
investigate if she was already spayed or
possibly already pregnant. Luckily the scan
showed no pregnancy so the vets continued to get
her spayed and tail operated on. Roxy needs to
convalescence for 2 weeks before she is ready
for her new home. Her cystitis has now cleared
since she has been spayed and tail operated on.
So maybe she was stressed with the discomfort.
Roxy will be fully vaccinated, wormed, de flead,
chipped and of course now spayed.
