18.11.2018.
Well it is the end of the week and it has been a particularly busy one so we are all looking
forward to going home and putting our feet up before starting all over again!
This week we had 23 cats admitted into our care for all sort
of reasons, stray, newborn baby, not settled with other pets in the home,
financial reasons, owner unable to cope, and so on. People are not always understanding of others
who rehome their pets but we have seen the other side of this. We have given out many tissues to teary-eyed owners
who have had to make the heart breaking decision to part with their pets. We reassure them that we will do our best for
their much-loved cat and encourage them to keep in touch with us for
updates.
Two of the cats admitted to us this week are
Rascal and Cookie, they were found in a park when they were 5 weeks of age. The
people who found them took them in planning to give them their forever home, sadly,
their grandson developed an allergic reaction to them and 4 months later, they
contacted us asking for help rehoming them.

What makes our job worthwhile is seeing the cats leaving our
care to their forever homes, and this week was exceptionally busy with 27 cats
and kittens leaving our care. Some of the cats and kittens adopted had been
with us a few days and others for over 2 months. It is especially rewarding to see cats and kittens
that have needed extra TLC leaving and this is very much so the case with a
special little kitten called Sabrina.

| Sabrina, left us to her forever home this week Sabrina was admitted to us at 8 weeks of age suffering with untreated flu, she was in very poor condition and very frightened of people. She had weeks of medication and underwent surgery on her eye before being well enough to find her forever home. She has been left partially sighted and with permanent damage to both her eyes so will be kept as an indoor cat by her new owners. It is heart-warming to see Sabrina being adopted and having the chance of a new start in life she desperately deserves.
In our admission corridors, we have some special cats
recovering from and waiting for surgery, including the handsome Felix.
Felix had an operation to amputate his tail.
Felix was admitted to us because he was living as a stray
since July 2018. Felix tested positive
for the FIV virus but he is healthy and friendly so will be rehomed as an
indoor cat. Our cat carers quickly
noticed that Felix’s tail was limp and had no feeling in it. A vet exam confirmed that he had received an
injury at some point causing paralysis of his tail and an operation was needed
to amputate it. Thankfully, the operation
went well and Felix is well on his way to recovery.
Another
extra special cat in our care is 17-year-old Lilly who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. We are currently waiting for blood results for her following a 3-week course of medication to stabilise her condition to allow our vet to operate to remove her thyroid glands. She is a real sweet heart and loves being brushed. We are all keeping our fingers and toes crossed as we wait for the results to come in

With
19 cats and kittens reserved, we are going to have another busy week
ahead! We are most excited about seeing
our long stay golden oldie Rhianna leave us to her forever home after 78 days
in our care. Our cat carers and volunteers
who haven’t been working today will be delighted when they hear the news :)
Long stay Rhianna is reserved

Bye for now!
