The wonderful FREEDOM FOSTERING scheme from Dogs Trust supports those fleeing domestic violence to find temporary accommodation for their beloved dogs. 🐶
Please spread the word so those that need help know where to turn
And if you feel you could offer dog fostering then there is more information in the post below

Our Freedom fostering service supports people fleeing domestic abuse, giving their dogs a temporary foster home whilst they focus on getting to safety 💛

'When things were volatile and there was shouting, Henry wouldn’t leave me and he became protective. I put up with abuse for over 2 years because I had Henry and I didn't want to lose him. If I'd have known about Freedom sooner, Henry wouldn’t have gone through those 2 years too.'

We sent Henry's owner regular updates on how he was getting on.

'I’d look forward to getting the monthly updates and would place all my pics on the fridge door, I’d keep one by my bed and it sounds silly, but I’d talk that picture to say good morning and goodnight to him.' 🥹

Help dogs and their owners by becoming a Freedom foster carer today: https://bit.ly/3HifDBF

Lovely senior gentleman ‘Toby’ was admitted at The Chapel Veterinary Surgery last week to have his matted hindquarters clipped & bathed by Vet Silvia & RVN Leigh. 13 year old Toby suffers from painful osteoarthritis in his hips & spine & is on anti-inflammatory medication, the arthritis makes it hard for him to groom himself thoroughly & he felt a lot more comfortable after being de-matted.
Studies suggest 90% of cats over 12 have arthritis, common signs in cats include: reluctance to jump, muscle wastage, struggling on the stairs, irritability & reduced grooming.
If you are concerned about your senior cat please make an appointment with your vet for a check up & to discuss management changes & treatment options to make them more comfortable
