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. 
We
took Bo Bo in before Christmas he had been
bullied and was very stressed in his home by 4
other cats the owners had tried desperately to
make things work but sadly the only option was
to rehome him he had very bad skin condition
lack of fur, sores and infection on his body and
ears and after many weeks and months of high
dose of steroids, several courses of
antibiotics, adjustments in medication and
allergy food trials. His skin, ears, eye, sores,
irritation and fur has healed we are finally now
at a stage where Bo Bo is ready to find his
forever new home. He will need to continue to
stay on low dose steroids 1 tablet a day which
he takes in his
food
no problem not even crushed and also on a mix of
allergy dietary food which again he loves and
eats no problem. 
has
this medical condition and needs. 
Meet
gorgeous Cassie. Cassie is a very friendly girl
and loves affection and cuddles even leaping on
your chest or back to get your attention. She
really is the sweetest fur ball and very gentle.
