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.

Kevin Meet gorgeous Kevin, Kevin is a gentle sweet boy. Due to his previous owner's personal circumstances, they felt it was in the best interest for Kevin to be rehomed. After a long discussion and normally we predominantly only take cats and kittens abandoned on the streets we agreed to take him this situation was different. They are a lovely family and honestly thinking about Kevin's future. Kevin is 9 years old in good health. He is now fully vaccinated, wormed, deflead, vet checked and microchipped. He needs a dental like most cats of his age. This will all be done before him being rehomed. He has settled well in the cattery and just a beautiful wee soul. Can you offer Kevin a forever home no very young children, busy roads or other pets. He will make a wonderful addition to your home giving you love and companionship. Please call 07799 264510 Thank you
Bramble Meet beautiful Bramble. Approximately 2 years old. Bramble was left behind by his previous owners. Un neutered and scared, he was then taken in by Neighbours to help him. Unfortunately, he wasn't happy confined to a flat with young children being un neutered didn't help either. He has now been neutered, chipped, vet checked and routine worm and flea treatment applied. Bramble is a friendly boy but nervous he isn't overly happy in a cattery environment so we are keen to find him a stable home ASAP, no young children or other pets so he can gain confidence have his own space and settle. He really hasn't had the best start in life. He will be fully vaccinated to. Can you offer this gorgeous fella a home. Please call 07799 264510 Thank you
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. Please call 07799 264510
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. Please call 07799 264510
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.
