Bakey
Now
in a new home. Here is his journey.
Bakey came to us as his owner couldn't care for him anymore due
to an accident.
Bakey was 11 months old not neutered and a indoor cat.
Sadly, because he was a nipper/biter and all black it took over
two years for anybody who wanted him. He became very offensive
towards new people when they visited as he had bonded with his
fosterers only. He didn't get on with other cats either so
couldn't remain at the sanctuary permanently. He was allowed
outside run around time every morning and Evening but no life
for him permanently confined to the cattery and two run around
times a day.
It was a bitter sweet day when he went to his new home but for
his own welfare the kindest thing to do. His new owners had
owned a previous cat who liked to bite and attack so they knew
what to expect. He really is settling well and his new owners
took slow steps in settling him in and bonding with him finally
to a stage he had free run of the whole house and garden. He
will now be safe, loved, free and have a home to call his own
and king of his own castle. Thank you Bakey for giving us so
much enjoyment and fun but your new chapter has only just begun
have a happy life Mr Bakey |
Fudge & Angus
 Fudge
was a stray and a kind couple took her in as she was pregnant,
she then came into Orpington Cat Rescue care after having the
litter of kittens only few weeks before pregnant again she was
only young herself approximately 12 months' old.
Female cats can get pregnant at 16 weeks old, after having a
litter the mum can get pregnant again when her current litter is
6 weeks old. So, it was important that her 2nd pregnancy was her
last.
Fudge gave birth to 5 beautiful ginger kittens sadly 4 were
still born. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see and that poor
Fudge had to endure so much loss. Thankfully one survived and
thrived we named him Angus he developed into the strongest
chunky ginger boy having all his mums undivided attention and
milk. Fudge was a good mum and very protective of dear Angus. He
was such a character and had the loudest lungs telling mum and
us that he wanted something he was slow to start with training
to use the litter tray and weaning as he was spoilt by his mum
Fudge being the only one. But he got there in the end at 8 weeks
old. Fudge and Angus finally went to their new home a few weeks
later after both being neutered, fully vaccinated, vet checked,
wormed and de flea. Both are doing well and enjoying life having
space outside to explore and giving lots of enjoyment to their
new owners who are real Cat lovers. A very happy ending for them
both. |
Herbie
What
can we say about this sweet boy. We homed him 9 years before. He
initially was a stray un neutered. Sadly, his owners decided to
get another cat couple years after having Herbie we were unaware
of this if we had of been could have given guidance if it was
the right thing to do for Herbie. We received a call to say it
wasn't working out and Herbie had to go after all this time. We
were extremely disappointed and sad for sweet Herbie. Part of
our adoption agreement states cats and kittens can be returned
and guaranteed a place back with us if for any reason they need
to be rehomed. We were so pleased he came back to us so we could
finally find him that one to one home he needed to bond with.
He is such a character Herbie and loved to chat loved a fuss,
cuddles and your attention super cute and loving we would have
kept him but he needed that one-to-one care no multi cat
household. We received a call from a kind man a real cat lover
who spoke very fondly of his previous cats and really didn't
seem fazed by his past no tick boxes just wanted to give Herbie
a loving home and that one-to-one undivided attention he
deserved. Thank you, Christopher, I know he will be safe and
loved in his senior years. |
Rosie (Rosina)
Sweet
Rosina was rescued from a life in a rabbit hutch!. Gentle wee
girl, long haired and bushy tail beautiful markings. We rehomed
her to a lady who adored Rosie as she was called. Sadly, Rosies
owner became ill several years later and went into a care home
so Rosie needed a new home. Part of our adoption agreement
states cats and kittens can be returned and guaranteed a place
back with us if for any reason they need to be rehomed.
A wonderful younger couple came forward to adopt Rosie who was
now in her older years 10+ to a calm, quiet home and have since
invested so much time with her to help Rosie settle in she is
loved beyond measure and a very happy ending indeed. Queen of
her castle. We couldn't have wished for a better home. |
Faith
Faith
an elderly frail girl 16+ was constantly hanging around alleys
looked in poor shape, weak, matted coat, balding patches, thin,
hungry and thirsty. A kind young lady who we homed a pair of
kittens to few years before got in touch with us to see if we
could help this poor wee girl. Of course, we helped get this
sweet kitty off the streets and finally received the tests,
diagnosis and treatment she deserved. She had flea allergy was
under nourished and dehydrated. With several weeks of TLC, flea
treatment, steroids, regular food shelter and water she
blossomed into a chunky, thick coat affectionate old lady. We
received a call from a lady who lived in a very large two storey
flat more like a house. Who wanted an elderly indoor cat. When i
attended the home visit there was a cosy fire on, lovely comfy
sofas and photos shown of previous cats owned. Clearly Faith
would have that security she needed to enjoy her final years. It
was a perfect match and she would finally be safe and get the
care she so deserved. |
Mack
Mack,
such a friendly boy and loved affection he just couldn't get
enough cuddles how sad as he lived outside.
Mack was sadly in a multi cat household with his mum Lady. They
were outside permanently as wouldn't come in because of the
other cats. Mack had a very bad skin condition which actually
was through living outside and not de flead. After few months of
treatment, he blossomed into a chunky fella with a thick coat.
Mack was homed separately to his mum, as Mum (lady) wasn't at
all bothered with her son and actually grumpy at times with him.
Mack went to a great home were not only did he have one home but
an annexe home at the bottom of the garden so when Macks owners
are out Mack can go into his Nans house for cuddles to. What a
lucky boy cuddles all round in a safe quiet road to. Mack has
continued to blossom and a fabulous happy ending. He is not only
king of one castle but two. |
Lady
Lady
the mum of Mack was extremely timid but affectionate once she
trusted you. Sweet girl and just wanted to be an only cat. She
was a little thin and had slight issues with her skin which
again living outside didn't help and not de flead. After
treatment she blossomed putting on weight and her new name of
Lady mini roll was given by her new owners. Who took Lady on a
little while after Mack went to his new home. Lady has settled
so well and now an indoor cat which suits Mini Roll just fine
she is now Queen of her own castle and spoilt beyond measure. |
Tiggy & Winston
Luna Mum
Tiggy
and Winston were kittens on a scrap metal site their mum Luna
had turned up pregnant she gave birth outside and were being fed
by the land owners. It was no permanent life for them all and
the longer it was left not only would Luna get pregnant again
and kittens born outside, all the kittens would become feral and
3 cats in no time would lead to 50 in a year or so.
A plan was set up on not feeding in the morning so they were
hungry later in the day and time put a side to wait patiently.
Mum was caught and popped in a cat carrier but the kittens now
around 10 to 12 wee weeks old had to be trapped using a humane
trap. They were then all taken to the vets for treatment and
neutered at different stages. Mum Luna was rehomed very quickly;
an affectionate and calm cat so was homed to a family where she
settled very well.
Tiggy and Winston needed socialising and work as they had
received little human contact. We knew their best long-term home
would need to be indoor so to build trust and bonding. A lovely
couple came forward and ticked every box and more to secure
their future. It has taken many months of patience, training and
love but they have developed into the most affectionate cats to
their owners. They certainly rule the roost but in a lovely way
nothing is ever to much trouble for Tiggy and Winston's ongoing
welfare and they are both very lucky little cats from scrap
metal yard existence to a cosy huge apartment full of toys,
scratch posts, hidey holes, sofas and beds. With abundance of
love and cuddles they could ever wish for. |
Baloo
This
fella was a stray for quite some time. We neutered, Chipped,
wormed and de flead unfortunately we didn't have space to take
him in so he was returned and the lady who alerted us about his
situation agreed to keep feeding him and providing shelter
outside it was summertime so he wasn't out in all weathers until
we had a space. But Baloo disappeared within 24 hours after
being neutered and returned to the lady. We knew one day he
would appear again because of his chip. It was few months later
unfortunately; it wasn't how we expected and we received a call
from our vets to say a member of the public found Baloo in
terrible condition and a injury to his eye. Poor Baloo he must
have been in so much pain for so long. He had been SHOT and his
eye was popping out, infected, Swollen, crusty wounds. He had a
bloated tummy, bald patches and under nourished. How long he had
endured this pain and discomfort the vets advised months!. Thank
goodness some kind person took Baloo to a vet and thank goodness
we chip all our rescues. Here are some photos of Baloo. Baloo
has fully recovered from his eye removal. How could anyone do
this atrocious act of cruelty to such a friendly beautiful
creature. Baloo is amazing he is so trusting of humans and a
fantastic boy. He craves attention loves his food. Poor Baloo he
can be clumsy and mis-judges jumping due to only having one eye
but he learnt how to adjust. We love him dearly whilst in our
care here and you really cannot stop yourself cuddling him, he
just melts your heart and making up for lost time after living
on the streets for so long. We are so grateful he was handed in.
Thanks to microchipping he got the help he needed.
Because Baloo only had one eye and little clumsy it was decided
to place him as an indoor cat. Baloo went to his new home a very
large apartment a young couple who were at home a lot for work
and shifts ongoing not just for pandemic reasons. This would
mean Baloo would have alot of company he so craves. He settled
in well and is loved by them and anyone who visits. Another
happy ending indeed. |
