We
were actually alerted to a different cat,
friendly with an eye injury, un neutered and
living on the streets but when the cat turned up
from North London it was a different cat with an
eye injury, un neutered or chipped part of a
stray colony. This fella isn't particularly
friendly so getting him checked at the vets at
the appointment time like I had planned for the
friendly chap clearly wasn't going to work with
a painful eye to he was not happy in the cat
basket for sure. So, he stayed overnight fasted
at the vets for a full check-up whilst being
neutered. Sadly, his eye showed complete loss of
sight and infection so an eye enucleation (eye
removal) is needed. He also needs a big dental.
Full of scares from fighting. This poor wee boy
must have been so frustrated with pain and
testosterone to survive constantly fighting. 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. 
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.
We
were alerted by a local Vets that these three
gorgeous souls had been found in a cat carrier
by bins and handed over to them. 
Dear Mittens sadly needs to find a new home.
After months of trying hard to deal with
allergies within his family home this family
really have no other option. I know this family
and how hard they have tried to make it work but
constant hospital admission for a family member
is really not going to change. 
Mittens is more than just a tuxedo cat; he’s a
beloved member of the family, full of warmth,
mischief, and charm. With his soft
black-and-white coat and gentle amber eyes,
he’ll be turning one on October 20th, though it
feels like he’s been a part of our lives
forever. From the very beginning, he’s been
showered with love and care—fully vaccinated,
regularly de-wormed and defleaed, neutered, and
micro-chipped to keep him safe. Raised in a home
full of children’s laughter, Mittens has grown
into the gentlest soul you could ever meet,
often found snuggled beside a napping child or
patiently entertaining a tiny hand reaching out
to pet him. He’s used to being brushed and
fussed. But it’s his playful spirit and loving
heart that make him truly unforgettable. Whether
he’s chasing a ribbon down the hallway or
curling up next to you after a long day, Mittens
has a quiet magic about him—the kind that turns
an ordinary moment into something beautiful.
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. 
Minnie
was found under a BONNET of a MOVING car,
luckily the driver heard her cries and
retrieved her and rushed her to the vets to
safety. She is 8 weeks old approximately
now. A sweet girl and fun.
This
poor wee boy was roaming, thin, hungry and in a
an area with many dogs off leads. A kind person
could see how desperate he was. He scooped him
up and kept him safe and fed for 24 hours whilst
he phoned rescues for help. He reached out to
Orpington Cat Rescue. We were full as usual but
we put out an appeal for a home fosterer
(already vetted by Orpington Cat Rescue). We
named him Panda and so his journey began with
us. He was neutered, chipped, checked over,
wormed and de-flead. Definitely underweight he
clearly needed help. He has settled very well in
his foster home already. A Friendly boy loves
people and would make a lovely furry addition to
anyone looking for a real companion. He is
approximately 6 months old. Call 07799 264510
