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.

Jackson

We were actually alerted to a different cat, friendly with an eye injury, un neutered and living on the streets but when the cat turned up from North London it was a different cat with an eye injury, un neutered or chipped part of a stray colony. This fella isn't particularly friendly so getting him checked at the vets at the appointment time like I had planned for the friendly chap clearly wasn't going to work with a painful eye to he was not happy in the cat basket for sure. So, he stayed overnight fasted at the vets for a full check-up whilst being neutered. Sadly, his eye showed complete loss of sight and infection so an eye enucleation (eye removal) is needed. He also needs a big dental. Full of scares from fighting. This poor wee boy must have been so frustrated with pain and testosterone to survive constantly fighting. He clearly needed a blood test to check if he had FIV and or FELV with his history life and presentation of scars. Sadly he came back positive to FIV.
The good news is we would never PTS an FIV cat even with eye and dental problems and unfriendly. They all deserve a chance regardless at Orpington Cat Rescue. So his procedures will go ahead.
Firstly, the eye needs to be free of infection so eye ointment is being administered twice daily with difficulty but Garry my husband is doing a grand job not stressing him out with two of us. Now he is neutered his testosterone levels will get better and he should become more approachable. Once his enucleation is performed and he has made a recovery the next step is Jackson's dental. These two procedures cannot take place at the same time and anaesthetic due to possible infection forming in dental sockets which is very dangerous with major surgery of eye enucleation. We estimate a 2 month turnaround for dear Jackson.

FAST FORWARD UPDATE Jackson has now had his enucleation (eye removal) and is doing really well. Once his Dental has been booked and carried out hopefully Jackson will be ready to go to a new home End August.
Whilst his enucleation was being performed the vets diagnosed Jackson with pododermatitis to his pads which we are monitoring no treatment needed yet.
We are looking for an indoor home due to one eye, FIV and pododermatitis to his paws often associated with FIV.
Could that be you.

Angel, Delight & Muffin
ABANDONED BY BINS

We were alerted by a local Vets that these three gorgeous souls had been found in a cat carrier by bins and handed over to them.
They are very timid and not had huge amounts of socialising sadly. In their first few weeks entering this world left already for who knows where they could of ended up. Where is mum and why? We know rescuers are full and struggling to help with demand but leaving them by communal bins really isn't the answer. How long they had been there we cannot say. They are approximately 8 weeks old and now (July) have been wormed and de flead. Their bellies now full with Royal canin kitten wet and dried food, to make sure they are getting all their nutritional needs, they are safe and secure. We have named them Angel, Delight and Muffin as they are so sweet.
They will be ready for rehoming mid-August after having all their vaccines and chips.
Sadly, no young children or dogs they really wouldn't cope well to seeing them improve and blossom.

Pree (Princess)
INDOOR HOME ONLY
Pree

Pree is looking for her forever new home. Pree came to us with her litter of kittens awhile back and she was then placed in a long-term foster home due to being semi feral and being couped up in the cattery was no life for her. Unfortunately, she is lonely and needing a furry companion. Pree is semi feral very nervous certainly not aggressive and at the vets she displays submissive behaviour where she can be cuddled. Do you have a placid cat who would bond with Pree. She needs to be confined to one room initially and introduced slowly to the existing resident cat you have. This will also encourage socialising Pree with her new owners. She is a gentle girl for sure. This type of behaviour is just becaus Pree

e she was never socialised as a kitten into adolescence and so its always a work in progress often not months but years. Its about Pree's needs and your existing cat. Not the owners its about giving her a life of stability, safety and another furry companion. Pree is young approximately 4 years old. Could you offer Pree what she needs.
We would be forever grateful even if you cannot offer her a home but to share and spread the word as not everyone is on fb or has access to the Internet.
Please call 07799 264510

Panda

This poor wee boy was roaming, thin, hungry and in a an area with many dogs off leads. A kind person could see how desperate he was. He scooped him up and kept him safe and fed for 24 hours whilst he phoned rescues for help. He reached out to Orpington Cat Rescue. We were full as usual but we put out an appeal for a home fosterer (already vetted by Orpington Cat Rescue). We named him Panda and so his journey began with us. He was neutered, chipped, checked over, wormed and de-flead. Definitely underweight he clearly needed help. He has settled very well in his foster home already. A Friendly boy loves people and would make a lovely furry addition to anyone looking for a real companion. He is approximately 6 months old. Call 07799 264510

Margarita (Mumma), Tequila, Martini, Ginny, Stout

Meet this gorgeous family sadly born into a life of uncertainty for their future from south London. We were full as we always are with a waiting list. Time was of an essence so we appealed to our wonderful supporters who responded as always to help.

Margarita (mumma) has nurtured them so well and a very good mummy and the kittens are growing fast. 4 balls of mischievous fun.

They wont be ready just yet for rehoming until late November after their full worm, flea, vaccines course and chipping.

Mum will be spayed, chipped, fully vaccinated wormed and de-flead.

Please get in touch tel 07799 264510 to register your interest.
