Jackson
was a stray in North London, he had an eye
injury, was un neutered and full of wounds from
fighting. Sadly, his eye showed complete loss of
sight and infection so an eye enucleation (eye
removal) was needed. He also needed a big
dental. This poor wee boy must have been so
frustrated with pain in his eye and mouth and
his testosterone to fight for survival of
getting food and finding females. He was a
temperamental lad aggressive and attacking us.
He clearly needed a
blood test to check if he had FIV and or FELV
with his history life and presentation of scars.
Sadly he came back positive to FIV. The good
news is we would never PTS an FIV cat even with
eye and dental problems and unfriendly. They all
deserve a chance regardless at Orpington Cat
Rescue. So his procedures went ahead. Firstly,
his eye had to be infection free with eye
ointment administered twice daily not easy as he
was temperamental when he came to us initially.
He was neutered then a
week later he had his eye enucleation. Once that all healed well then we
pursued getting his Dental done. After a lot of
socialising Jackson is now the perfect lad and
majority of the time well behaved he just is not
keen on being handled at the vets but his love
of licky licks helps for sure to get him to
respond. 
Meet
gorgeous Jock approximately 1 years old, Jock
appeared in a gentleman's garden in London which
was not unusual to start with cats come and go
as we know but Jock continued to stay never
leaving and seemed to want help, he was never
fazed by foxes and the resident became
concerned. Jock was un neutered and scanned for
a chip, after covering all avenues to find his
original owner from door knocking, fb etc Jock
was taken in our care. Jock is a sweet gentle
boy, affectionate and friendly but is nervous
and takes time to settle. He has the sweetest
face.
We
received a call from the metropolitan police of
a urgent case of a cat found living in a
property being used for illicit activities in
south London. They were closing the property up
and Dear Bear needed help immediately. I got
straight on the phone to arrange cat carrier and
overnight stay for Bear until i could collect
him. Considering his background Bear was
extremely friendly, calm and affectionate in
relatively good condition on checking him over.
But within hours it was clear his extreme thirst
was off the scale nothing like I had seen before
in 26 years of rescuing not interested in food
first just literally bowls of water drunk in
minutes!. We had Bear fully blood tested and
urine expressed which was so clear !. He was
urinating in his bed, using two large litter
trays, including peeing on incontinence pads
constantly. He must of been feeling exhausted of
peeing and drinking how long he had been like
this we have no idea. www.orpingtoncatrescue.org.uk © Orpington Cat Rescue
