It's National Dog Day so we have an Evie & Lexi update for youπŸ’™

Our girls have had a lovely weekend being pampered with soothing medicated baths, lots of cuddles and play time in the yard with our team, and some yummy treats - their medication is starting to work its magic so they're feeling a lot better and happier.

Their ears are still full of infection, but they're looking less gunky now, and their skin is a lot less red and irritated. We're hopeful that some of the fur on their backs, legs, chests and tummies will grow back in time 🀞

Despite everything they've been through, Evie and Lexi are such sweet, gentle and loving little souls, so we would like to thank each and every one of you who has helped them with a donation, like, share, or comment πŸ’™

We've popped the donate button on this post - if you're able to give a small donation towards their medication, we would be incredibly grateful! If you haven't read their story yet, we will put a link to their previous post in the comments, along with a link to our Just Giving page if you would like to donate through there.

Thank you again for helping us give girls like Evie and Lexi a second chance at a happy and healthy life.

Bella is a lovely lady looking for a new home

She is around 6 years old and came into our care as her previous owner couldn't keep her.

Here's what we know about Bella:
πŸ‘Ά Could live with children aged 5+
🐱 She really doesn't like other cats so she needs to be the only cat in the home
🐢 Cannot live with dogs
🏑 Needs a quieter home where she can go outside once she has settled in
πŸ’ž Ok being left on her own
🧠 Relaxed and friendly and has the sweetest little meow
❀️ She loves food, sunbathing outside in the sunshine, and having a nice fuss

Bam Bam is a beautiful girl looking for a special new home.

She is an 8 year old Pixie-Bob, a breed that is a little different in personality and general behaviour to other, more common breeds. She has always lived in a large outdoor run attached to a house, so she is used to having lots of secure space outside. Bam Bam certainly loves her home comforts so we are sure she would adjust to being in a home, but access to a catio so she can exercise and get her energy out in a secure space would be ideal.

Here's what we know about Bam Bam:
πŸ‘Ά Could live with children aged 10+
🐱 Could live with another cat
🐢 Cannot live with dogs
🏑 Cannot be let outside to roam freely, needs access to a secure catio
🧠 Pixie-Bob cats by nature are very inquisitive, so she may want to explore your home more than a domestic cat would, like going on the top of wardrobes and cupboards etc
❀️ Loves play time and running and jumping around

Please be aware that Bam Bam is getting used to using a litter tray so she may have the odd accident to begin with. She will need several litter trays around the house and in the catio. Positive reward-based training is the best way to help cats with their litter training, so this can be worked on in her new home.

Midnight is looking for a fresh start in a loving home.

He is around 2 years old and came into our care after his owner could sadly no longer look after him.

Here's what we know about Midnight:
πŸ‘Ά Could live with children aged 12+
🐱 Could live with another cat
🐢 Cannot live with dogs
🏑 Needs to be kept inside at the moment, but he may be able to go out in the future
πŸ’ž Would like someone around a lot to keep him company
🧠 A really sweet boy who has been through a lot
❀️ Loves a quiet cuddle and a few treats
🩺 He is used to living indoors but he got out of his previous home and was beaten up by the local cats, which has left him quite shaken. As you can see from his photos, his skin is sore and his fur is patchy due to a flea allergy. He is receiving treatment so he should be feeling much better very soon.

23/08/2024

We have a heart-wrenching story to share today πŸ˜” Meet Evie and Lexi, a sweet mother and daughter duo, both in their golden years - Evie is around 11, and Lexi is around 9. These sweet girls have been through so much and are in desperate need of help.

Just a week ago, they came into our care because their previous owner couldn't provide the vital veterinary treatment they so desperately needed. When they arrived, our hearts broke. Both Evie and Lexi are suffering from severe fur loss, and their skin is thickened, itchy, and sore from untreated conditions that have been neglected for far too long. On top of that, they both have painful ear infections and are feeling very poorly.

Our vet has given them a thorough examination, from their noses to their tails, and the list of medications they need is extensive. They are on two types of steroids, antibiotics, medicated baths, two types of medicated ear drops, a grain-free diet, and salmon oil supplements. They'll need to stay on these for at least a month before we can assess their progress.

As you can imagine, the cost of their medication alone is enormous! This is on top of the everyday costs of their care, housing, routine treatments, neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. But despite everything they've been through, Evie and Lexi are still full of hope. They deserve to live the rest of their lives healthy, happy, and together in a loving forever home, and we're determined to make that happen.

If you can spare even a few pounds to help with their treatment, it would mean the world to us - and to them. We've already seen glimmers of improvement in just this short time; their ears are looking so much better already, their eyes are brighter, and their spirits have lifted!

We'll keep you updated on their journey as they continue to heal, and we will of course post them on our website as soon as they're ready to start looking for a forever home. For now, please keep these two amazing girls in your thoughts and share this post to help us reach as many people as possible.

Thank you for helping us to give girls like Evie and Lexi a second chance at a happy and healthy life.

πŸ’• Forever Home Friday - Albert

Gorgeous Albert (formerly Milo) found his forever home just 3 weeks after coming into our care. Even though he was only with us for a short time, he charmed our whole team and made friends with everyone he met, so we were delighted to find him such a wonderful new home πŸ₯°

His new family said "I’m pleased to say that Albert is settling in really well. We’re still getting used to each other’s habits and routines, but he really seems to be starting to feel at home. He definitely likes to play, which is taking some getting used to as our previous cats had definitely grown out of that some time ago. Thank you for helping us to find our new feline housemate, he’s absolutely wonderful."

We are so incredibly sad to share the news that our dear Ruby girl crossed the rainbow bridge this morning πŸ’”πŸŒˆ

Her health declined much quicker than we were expecting so we took her for a vet check as we were really worried about her. Unfortunately, the vet felt she was suffering so the heart breaking decision was made to put her to sleep. She passed away peacefully in the arms of one of our team members.

We would like to thank everyone who shared Ruby's appeal posts, sent her well wishes, and donated toys and treats. We would also like to thank our dedicated animal care team and volunteer dog walkers who have spent the last few weeks giving Ruby the best possible care, surrounding her with love, and spoiling her with all of her favourite toys and treats πŸ’™

Rest in peace, Ruby. You will be missed by everyone who loved you ❀️

Truffle is still looking for a special new home with people who will love her and her independent nature.

She is around a year old and was found abandoned with a litter of kittens. The kittens are almost ready to go home now so she is ready to find her forever home. She is an independent cat who will come to you when she wants fuss and attention but isn't keen on being picked up.

Truffle's forever home wish list is:
