So much to update you all on where do I start?! well if your looking for a cat / kitten I wouldnt hang about for long 18 cats and kittens found homes this weekend with another 11+ reserved to go shortly. We hope they all settle in their new homes and enjoy the TLC they so rightly deserve! Thanks to all our volunteers you must have worked your socks off this weekend! Our gorgeous long term residents Molly and Kitten (expertly homed last week) have put their paws on their new pad which is fantastic we are so pleased for them both! (we would love some photos please!) For those of you who have been at the sanctuary a while you may remember Poppet (one of the rarer ginger females) we get in from time to time. Poppet was a very sick cat who had a litter of kittens and couldnt put on any weight. We were so very worried about her at the sanctuary. Well hopefully I will be able to get a picture soon of Poppet as she returned to the sanctuary this week for her holidays in the cat boarding centre and she looks magnificent! A once very frail looking girl now could rival a Lioness. Her mane of ginger fur and fabulously huge silky paws are a tribute to her owner's tender loving care. I can not fully give justice in words to just how amazing she looks!
We have had a strong response to our £1000 Mickey appeal, our little sick kitten who is awaiting his brain operation. He is a dear to cuddle, so affectionate and also so playful when you throw a mouse his way (toy not real!).
A small appeal for 4 special cats Duncan Smokey. Pansy and Custer.I was there when they arrived at the sanctuary a couple of months ago from a home in Goodmayes where their owner had health problems and was unable to care for them any more. They are a shy bunch who obviously had a strong relationship with their owner but are taking time to adjust to the sanctuary and the large volume of different people who enter their pen on a daily basis. They can all be homed singularly but would benefit from another cat in the household as they are used to a multi cat home. None of them would be suitable with young children and would need a quiet residence. Custer is a tabby and white boy who likes a gentle stroke on the head. He is the shyest of all four. Smokey and Duncan enjoy each others company. They both are happy to be stroked but panic at sudden movements. Pansy is a long hair tabby very pretty looking! She is the most confident of the four and enjoys to be fussed if you are sitting beside her. For a cat loving household one of these four would slip in with no trouble at all. You would barely notice they are there! So why not give one of them a chance? They have been over looked for some time as we get a lot of families in looking for confident felines. And lastly we appeal for a home for Patch. A smashing cat who is getting on in her years. She gives such great lap cuddles and really enjoys being able to rest her paws on your knees! Patch would make such a loyal companion who, unlike younger cats, would like to keep you company and stay close by your side. If you are looking for someone warm to relax in the evening with Patch is all ready to join you on your lap! (this is not a dating service but Patch from experience is likely to beat lots of dates you may have had!) She would suit an indoor quiet life with someone who has time to give her all the cuddles she loves to receive! TTFN for now x
