Black Cats
Black cats and
black & white cats often get overlooked in
favour of ‘prettier’ colours
Give a black & white cat or a black cat a
chance!
Shrinking Violets
Nervous cats
often too get overlooked, yet they can be the
most loyal pets given time. Earning their love
and trust can be very rewarding.
Indoor Cats
Want a cat, but
live in a flat? Some cats can be better suited
to the indoor life: cats with FIV, deaf cats,
blind cats, very nervous or elderly cats, or
simply cats that have previously been used to
living indoors. |
 Winky
& Wally are two gorgeous handsome Tabby’s
and need to find a new home, their current
owners are very sad & reluctant to home them but
since the arrival of their two babies both the
cats have not adjusted and are spending more &
more time outside. Originally they were both
indoor cats. Both Winky & Wally are very
playful, loving & interactive. Wally is 4 years
old and Winky is 3 years old. They are fully
vaccinated/neutered & micro chipped. They need
to go to a home as only pets with no children,
and someone in part of the day. We would prefer
them to be indoor cats as this is what they have
originally been used to. Could that be you we
would love to hear from you please call either
Gill 0208 309 1571 or Peitra on 07799 264510. |
Snowbelle, Barney &
Thomas, Loujon &Bijou
ALL FIVE OF THESE CATS GET ON SO WELL SO WE
DON’T MIND IF THEY ALL GET HOMED TOGETHER.
....OR SNOWBELLE COULD GO WITH LOUJON & BIJOU.
....OR THOMAS & BARNEY COULD GO WITH LOUJON &
BIJOU |
 Snowbelle
White with
Tabby approx 2 years old. She is extremely
affectionate, friendly and would
make an ideal family pet she is very laid back
and loves to be fussed. She came into our care
after she appeared one day under someone’s patio
decking with two small White & Tabby kittens
behind her crying, the lady who the garden
belonged to started to feed them and before she
new it the kittens & mum started to trust her.
She realised that she would not be able to keep
them and decided to call around local rescue
centres that’s when we stepped in and went to
collect them all. Snowbelle is now spayed so she
does not have to endure any more babies and will
finally have a rest. She has been vet checked,
micro-chipped and wormed & de-flead.
|
 Barney
& Thomas
are Snowbelle's 1st litter of kittens (that we
know of) they are extremely nervous and
need an indoor home this will help them to
become friendlier and bond with their new
owners, with time they will become more
confident and blossom. They are now 10 months
old the reason they are so nervous & to be
expected as they were born outside and not
handled until 12 weeks old or had a normal
indoor life in their first stage of kitten hood.
 They
just need someone to give them TLC including
time & patience. They are not aggressive at all.
The longer they are confined to the cattery the
harder it will become so PLEASE PLEASE help and
give these two little fellas Thomas & Barney a
chance of a normal life. |
 Loujon & Bijou
Both these kittens were rescued at only
approximately 7 days old. We have called them
Bijou she is White & Tabby & Lou Jon he is Black
& White. Both kittens have been bottled hand
reared are both so adorable. Bijou is so sweet
natured and placid & Lou Jon is a confident
little chap, they both love attention &
affection. Unfortunately due to the large amount
of kittens we had for homing over the last few
months they are the only remaining two left.
They did get booked ready to go to their new
home but due to personal circumstances this fell
through. They are now 6 months old and have been
neutered. They need to be homed together and to
a special home where they will be loved and
cherished. |
 Sparky
Sparky is five years old a lovely friendly cat
who adores her cuddles and food, but very sadly
her owners cannot look after her anymore like
they used to. They have since had two babies and
Sparky has not adjusted to her new life very
well she is spending more & more time outside
and not on the couch which is where she would
prefer to be. Sparky needs to go to a home with
no children or other pets where she can be the
centre of attention and enjoys the peace & quiet
and cuddles like she used to have before. |
 Sandy
Sandy is a 4 year old tortoiseshell. She is
being re-homed as she has not settle well in her
new outdoor surroundings at home this is a
combination of other cats in the area and a
couple of noisy dogs. Sandy’ was used to lots of
company & attention, but her owners can no
longer give her due to change of personal
circumstances and now out at work all day. Sandy
is a very loving cat and enjoys curling up for
cuddles. She needs to go to a home where someone
is not out of the house all day and to give her
that attention she so deserves and is used to.
She is fine with older children but needs to be
an only pet. Could that be you if so please call
us we will only be too happy to speak with you? |
 Frank
How anyone could just abandoned such a sweet
little chap as Frankie? But that’s just what
they did, they moved out of their privately
rented flat, locking the cat flap behind them!
Poor little Frank was left with no bed, shelter
or food. Kind neighbours only realised what had
happened a couple of weeks later after he had
been out in torrential rain and wind. They then
provided him with a box/bedding and food, but
this all had to be done by climbing over an
extension roof, where Frankie was living. Sadly
his rescuers had allergy problems, otherwise
would loved to have kept him. Frankie is a very
smart looking black and white cat with a coat
like black satin. He is cute, funny, and
affectionate and loves playing with his toys. He
is approximately one year old, just. He has been
neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead. He
is now ready and waiting for someone who will
really love and care for him forever.
If you think you could give Frankie a loving
home, please call Gill on 0208 309 1571. |
Mildred and Little Ern
 Mildred
(or Big Fat Mama as I call her) and Little Ern
were callously dumped in a cardboard box on a
remote country lane. Admittedly, they had been
left inside the gates of a small
holding where they were likely to be found and
Mama and nine week old Ern were in good
condition. The owners had probably tried all the
rescue centres without any luck so got rid of
their problem by deserting them in this
heartless way. Safe and sound now, they have
blossomed into two really lovely cats. She is a
very patient Mum and lets little Ern play with
her tail and jump all over her, she never gets
cross with him. They are both black and white
fluffies and little boy has so many long white
whiskers and eyebrows that he can hardly see
through them! They are now spayed and neutered,
micro chipped, wormed, de-flead and Ern has been
vaccinated. They are very sweet cats, Mama is
slightly timid with strangers, but they are
friendly and gentle. They would be best in a
quiet adult home where they will be appreciated
and loved. If you think this pair of sweethearts
would fit in nicely in your home please call
Gill on 0208 309 1571. |
 Sampson
Sampson a black shorthaired male approx 5 years
old he came to us as a stray, thankfully a kind
lady started to feed him he was no more than a
year old at the time. She started to build some
trust with him, and placed a kennel in her porch
so he had some warmth & shelter. He was already
neutered so had been owned at some point in his
life. What a shame he wasn’t wearing a collar
with id disc or a micro-chip. It was decided
that he was not a feral has the lady could
stroke his head and that the best thing for him
would be to be get him more socialised with
people and try and home him.
We are sure he will come on leaps & bounds and
he will finally have a chance of home to call
his own. So if you are an experienced cat owner
especially with timid cats then give us a call
we would love to hear from you. |
 Precious
This sweet little cat was found in a builder’s
yard in very hazardous conditions, dodging in
and out of cars and Lorries, it would have only
been a matter of time before she had an
accident. She was in a poor state with soars all
over her belly and she was very hungry. So when
the boss of the builder’s yard gave us a call we
knew we had to get her to the vets for treatment
quick. She was taken to the vets and was treated
for her skin complaint, wormed & de’flead she
stayed there for a couple of days before going
on to a foster home. We now know she doesn't
like other cats or dogs, but is affectionate,
and loves her food. Her skin has completely
cleared up and her name Precious fits her to a
tee as she has blossomed into a beautiful little
cat. We are looking for that special person to
take her and give her the loving home she so
deserves. If you are interested in Precious
please give Gill
a call on 0208 309 1571. |
Richie
PLEASE READ THIS
STORY AND GIVE A HOME TO A CAT THAT HAS FINALLY
BEEN SAVED FROM A LIFE OF MISERY AND NOW LOOKING
FOR A HOME TO CALL HIS OWN
 Richie
had been around as a stray for many years People
had said that he had been seen around locally
for over 8 years, sleeping in bushes and eating
off the street. Until one day he turned up on a
kind mans front door step very thin and
bedraggled. You can see by the picture his neck
was red raw, he walked with a limp and could
hardly chew the food he gave him. He used to
come late at night to scavenge for food which
they left for him in the bushes as he would not
go near anyone he was so nervous and terrified
of people. He would often be seen waiting on the
other side of the busy road for a break in the
traffic so that he could cross over. He also was
often seen being bullied by a group of stable
yard cats cornering him this must have been how
he got all his injuries.
He disappeared for a few days and the man
assumed he had gone or even worse something had
happened to him. Then one night he re-appeared
looking in a more dreadful state sad it was then
they realised other animals had been taking the
food that had been left out for him. Because he
could hardly move about we managed to give him
some food, and then suddenly from that day on it
became a daily thing.
Trying to build his trust and strength up the
man finally managed to get a charity to help him
that’s when we stepped in and tried to set the
trap for Ritchie to go into so we could get him
to the vets but it took them several attempts &
days. Then we are glad to say that the man
managed to gain his trust get him indoors and
coax him into a cat carrier with food where he
nearly escaped forcing and breaking the door. He
taped up the door with brown tape and tied it
with string and rushed Ritchie to the vets they
treated him for his skin, sore neck, injured
leg, pain relief, his teeth were rotten hence
his trouble to eat so they removed all of them
except 2 he was also neutered, given worm & flea
treatment and micro-chipped. Unfortunately
because he was a feral he was un-home able so he
went to a friend of ours who runs another cat
charity and has a lot of land for the ferals to
roam & be free but get plenty of food & gain
veterinary treatment when needed via using a
human trap.
Ritchie had been there for several months, Then
one of the volunteers notice Ritchie’s eye was
weeping so they kept note of it but then in just
a few days he became very quiet and lethargic
and not wanting to eat it was then noticed his
eye had got infected and puss was coming out.
Unfortunately for Ritchie because he had always
had to fend for himself for so many years
fighting became a way of life to him thinking he
always had to try and fend not just for himself
but also his food. Amazingly they actually
managed to get him in the cat carrier with no
bother because he was so weak, once at the vets
he was given sedation and was diagnosed with an
eye ulcer on his third eye lid. The only
treatment for this is to either remove the third
eye lid make a fresh one using excess tissue
inside the eye or removal of the eye. So it was
decided to try and save his eye have the new
third eye lid made and stitched but it would
take over two weeks to know if it was a success
and he could have the stitches removed. So I
collected him from the vets and it was decided
he needed a more one to one care to recover and
he came back to Orpington Cat Rescue to
convalesce. To my amazement every day I just did
a little more with him keeping his eye clean.
Fussing his head and chin but as he was wearing
a buster collar this did make things easier as
it was not so easy for him to attack me. . Which
gave me more confidence to try my luck more and
more with him I can now stroke his back, tail,
he lets me fuss him all the time he chats to me
and craves my attention and company. He gets
onto my lap now and even lets me kiss his head
and wet nose.
Obviously it had helped Ritchie being with
people coming & going and trying to socialise
him at the other cat sanctuary but they could
never get more than a couple of strokes on his
head.
We then realised this poor little fella just
wanted to be an only cat not to be threatened
anymore or fight and was making up for all the
lost years of TLC he was now so craving and
loved. It has brought tears to my eyes every day
seeing him blossom and looking forward to every
new stage in his remaining years of his life and
all what he has missed out on.
Ritchie has now had the all clear with his eye
he has improved even more now and we can now
pick him up & cuddle him. Ritchie is about 12 we
think he just needs a kind loving home, an
experience cat owner as an only pet, if you
would like to be that person please gives us a
call we would love to hear from you.
Please give our Ritchie a chance of a home he is
a very special boy and would make an ideal
companion. |
