Where have all our adopters gone?

Please help

We currently have almost 100 cats and kittens here at the centre. We are receiving countless calls everyday from people who need our help. What we really need is YOUR help to find homes for all of this homeless felines. Some of them have been here for months.

Over the last week hardly anyone has come through our door looking to adopt. No one even seems to want to adopt our kittens, which is unheard of. We are getting very worried, we can't help more cats if we can't find homes for the ones we have already got.

So please help us spread the word. The situation here is desperate.

More cute kittens!

Rook's kittens

Rook was found at Rookley Country Park on the Island with her four tiny babies. We have estimated that the kittens are around 3 weeks old. Rook was very unsettled for the first few days, it can be a very stressful environment here for the cats. After a few days she began to settle down and now she seems a much happier girl. 

This image was taken earlier today of Rook and her little family.


Jenny and her babies

 

Jenny and her kittens came into the centre on Thursday after her owner sadly passed away. We immediately noticed that something wasn't quite right with one of Jenny's nipples. Due to a really bad mastitis infection she had two nasty wounds around one of her nipples. 

 

She was rushed down the the vets with the kittens. Tim the vet shaved her mammary area and gave it a really thorough clean. He advised that Jenny should have a course of antibiotic's and that we should clean the wounds twice daily with cold tea. Yes, that's right cold tea! Cold tea acts as an astringent to help cleanse the wound and prevent further infection.

We are pleased to say that since Thursday her mammary area is much improved and looks a lot less sore. The cold tea and antibiotics are obviously working well. These images were taken of Jenny's gorgeous little family earlier.

Success Story

Alfie and Ronnie

Alfie and Ronnie have been in to lots of mischief together and separately. From the arrival it was clear that they had totally different personalities, Alfie took his time while Ronnie rushed around checking everywhere and everything.
 

They have settled in well and like to watch me gardening sometimes trying to help by chasing the pigeons away. The two of them are great company and keep me on my toes and are very much part of the family.
 

All the best and keep on doing a fantastic job.

We can only dream

    Tipsy and Coszee

We are two sisters called Tipsy and Coszee

Staying in we’ve become relaxed, but a little lazy

With the days getting warmer and the evenings lighter

We can only dream that our futures will be brighter

We are cute little ladies, affectionate and smart

Just one cuddle and we will melt your heart

We just adore attention and would love some fuss

So please if you have the time, come along

and meet us.

Success Story

Toffee and Fudge

Toffee and Fudge were adopted from the centre four years ago. They were very timid and reserved when they were here. 

Their personalities have totally changed, it just goes to show that time and love can make a real difference in a cats life.

Hello everyone.

Thought you might all like to see up to date photos of the boys on their fifth birthday.
As you can see they have grown into quite large cats.

They are very loving especially when being fussed around their ears! It is hard to believe they have been living with us now for over 4 years.

Sylvester

 Tiger turned teddy bear

 


Sylvester came into the centre as a stray. For a while he was very quiet and quite shell shocked. Eventually he started to come out of his shell and he started to bite everyone! It has taken a few weeks of socialisation to get him to the stage he is at now. 

He is now much happier and will let you stroke him, pick him up and he will even sit on your lap. He is starting to relish all the attention he is getting. 

 







We still feel however that he would suit a more outdoor home. He is such a strong willed cat and he is so desperate to have freedom again. 

These photos were taken of Sylvester with volunteer Ann. Just look how cute he is! He really is turning into a gentle giant, but ssshhh don't tell him that! 

So if you have a home with a large outdoor space then please come and meet him. His charms are sure to win you over.
