🐾SEARCHING FOR MY FOREVER HOME.🐾

Hello, my name is Theo.
I am 3 years old. I love my wet and dry food and LOVE the person who feeds me the most. I like lots of attention and fuss - and I am absolutely gorgeous. I like playing with my toys and I am full of energy.
I can get a bit aggressive at meal times when I am very hungry but otherwise I am very friendly (and will sometimes attack your feet in bed).
I am currently an indoor cat, because I am a real hunter and after moving to a new home my owners don't feel that they can meet my needs - I really need a home with experienced owners and no young children and somewhere safe with a secure garden or catio, so that I can release some of my energy.

IF you think you can offer me the right environment to meet my needs then please contact Debbie @ Woodside Cattery by e-mail - [email protected]

Thank you to everyone who commented on Alice's work experience post, it has been appreciated.

Also thank you to everyone who has given Alice advice and support ❤️ if she takes the offer of the cattery placement in Spain, I'm going along too 😎

Alice is working with us this week for her work experience placement from Blessed Gerorge Napier School, Banbury.

She has already been a great help with cleaning the pens and socialising with the cats 😻

Alice hopes to have a career in the veterinary sector, which desperately needs more young people joining. I am sure she will be successful 🤩

Father's Day is this Sunday.

Don't let your cat be an absent father!

Make sure your male cat is not making kittens all over your neighborhood.

Neuter your male cat to prevent unwanted babies, to stop him from roaming, to prevent cancer, to stop him from spraying, and to stop him from fighting other male cats.

When we talk about the toll that giving birth takes on young cats, please look at this picture and appreciate that Tiger Lilly has been fortunate enough to be in an amazing foster home where she and her kittens have been loved and cared for.

Tiger is little more than a year old herself, and arrived with us heavily pregnant, having been abandoned by her humans. She gave birth to four kittens and has given them her all, being the most incredible mama.

Yesterday her kittens, aged 8 weeks, were adopted and Tiger, having been spayed a week ago, has also found a home...but now she is poorly, suffering with mastitis which is very, very painful (human mums who have suffered this will undoubtedly concur!!).

Upon seeking medical advice, Tiger has been rushed to the vet (out of hours, due to it being a bank holiday weekend) and is now receiving treatment. We are in no doubt that she will make a full recovery, however we can't help but think of those mama cats who don't have the same support, and even worse, those who give birth alone outside...

Sadly we can't help every cat; we do our best for as many as is physically possible, but we are drowning...we've taken in almost 50 kittens this year already, and "kitten season" is only just beginning!!

Tiger will be just fine, we're sure, but please don't allow your cats to suffer this ordeal...cats can and do get pregnant as early as just four months old, so neutering is essential.
