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. 
Pree
is looking for her forever new home. Pree came
to us with her litter of kittens awhile back and
she was then placed in a long-term foster home
due to being semi feral and being couped up in
the cattery was no life for her. Unfortunately,
she is lonely and needing a furry companion.
Pree is semi feral very nervous certainly not
aggressive and at the vets she displays
submissive behaviour where she can be cuddled.
Do you have a placid cat who would bond with
Pree. She needs to be confined to one room
initially and introduced slowly to the existing
resident cat you have. This will also encourage
socialising Pree with her new owners. She is a
gentle girl for sure. This type of behaviour is
just becaus
e
she was never socialised as a kitten into
adolescence and so its always a work in progress
often not months but years. Its about Pree's
needs and your existing cat. Not the owners its
about giving her a life of stability, safety and
another furry companion. Pree is young
approximately 4 years old. Could you offer Pree
what she needs. 
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.www.orpingtoncatrescue.org.uk © Orpington Cat Rescue
