 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. |
 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? |
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. |
