Ed and Orie are a pair of best friends who formed a close bond while living together at the shelter.

They originally arrived separately — Orie had been waiting for a home for quite some time. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t quite make any feline friends at the shelter. Then Ed came along. At first, we weren’t sure how they’d get along given their age difference, but to everyone’s delight, they’ve become inseparable…like true brothers.

Orie is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves attention and enjoys following people around, wanting nothing more than to be involved in whatever’s happening.

Ed, on the other hand, is a little whirlwind of energy, always on the move and eager to be part of everything at once. If you’re not paying him attention, he’ll reach out a paw to remind you he’s there. The only time he sits still is when he’s curled up in his bed, happily “making biscuits.”

Together, they make a wonderful duo…playing, wrestling, grooming, and cuddling side by side. Orie has helped calm Ed down (well, a little!), and Ed has become the friend Orie always wished for.

This lovely pair is looking for a home with a garden. They can live with older children and would be happy sharing their space with other cats.

If you feel you could offer Ed and Orie the safe and caring home they deserve, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].

Finn: Collapsed, Critically Ill and Fighting to Recover

When a member of the public found Finn collapsed under her windowsill, she immediately knew something was very wrong. She had been feeding him as a stray for some time, but he had recently stopped appearing. When he finally returned, he was barely able to stand. She rushed him to a private vet, who relieved his pain, obtained xrays and arranged for him to be transferred to us for the care he urgently needed.

Finn arrived severely unwell. He had not eaten for days. X-rays revealed that his left front leg was broken, and his other front leg was dangerously infected, swollen to the point it began leaking infected fluid. This infection had already spread into his bloodstream, causing sepsis, anaemia, and a dangerous slowdown of his gut. He was also jaundiced, which showed how much strain his body was under.

The infection was so advanced that it cut off blood supply to part of his tail, causing an area of skin to die. Finn was extremely weak and at real risk of deteriorating further. This poor boy had really been through it.

Our veterinary team provided recovery from sepsis and continued intensive treatment with antibiotics, pain relief and a feed tube. It took days of round-the-clock care before Finn was strong enough to undergo the surgery he needed to repair his fractured leg. His recovery will be slow because his surgery had to be delayed, and the damaged area on his tail continues to need close monitoring as it begins to heal.

Finn is still very nervous, which is understandable after so much trauma, but even now he is beginning to place weight on his repaired leg and is eating again. These are small but important steps.

Despite everything he has endured, Finn continues to fight. We hold a great deal of hope for him. After surviving so much pain and suffering, we think this poor boy deserves the chance to live.

We are appealing for help to cover the cost of Finn’s ongoing veterinary care he will need in the weeks ahead. Every contribution makes a difference to this cat who has already overcome unimaginable hardship.

Thank you for supporting our important rescue work across London and the South East. 🙏🏼

HONEY🐝🍯

Honey is around 2 years old and came to us after she was found left in a carrier in a park.

She is a very sweet, chatty girl who adores being around people and loves to be the centre of attention. Honey also has a unique trait—she’s polydactyl, meaning she has extra toes on each paw.

Honey is looking for a home with access to a garden. She can live with children, but would prefer to be the only cat in the household.

If you feel you could offer Honey the safe and caring home she deserves, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].

Happy adoption 🖤🖤

On October 4th, 2025, we adopted two gorgeous girls from Celia Hammond - Veronica (formerly Bessie) and Lily (formerly Nessie) and they’ve settled in fantastically!

They had come from an animal abuse situation and had been waiting many months for a new home when we went to visit them and we reserved them on the spot. When we arrived, V, the fluffy black girl, actually got up to greet us, something she hadn’t done for anyone else that day, and we were absolutely sold.

Veronica, our beautiful black lady, is an absolute cuddle bug who loves to be close by. She’s very much become our little “desk cat” and always needs to be near one of us. Lily, our brindle girl, is more independent but loves being in the same room and never misses a chance to collect us for playtime!

They sleep in our room every night, greet us at the door each day, and have truly taken charge of the house - full of confidence, love, and personality 🥰"

Ernest was found wandering the streets with a head tilt, and after a vet check, we discovered he had an ear polyp. It’s been removed now, but it has left him deaf in his right ear.

When he first arrived, Ernest was scared and absolutely starving. After fending for himself for who knows how long, he became a protective over his food. With regular meals and a calm routine, he’s much more relaxed now, though he still prefers a bit of space while he eats.

These days, Ernest has really come out of his shell. He’s a friendly, chilled-out lad who loves a good fuss and snuggling into a comfy bed. He’s truly ready for the peaceful, pampered life he’s missed out on for so long.

Because of his hearing loss, Ernest needs a home in a terraced block with a garden, so he can enjoy the outdoors safely. He is four years old and would be happiest as the only cat in the home, and he isn’t suited to living with children.

If you feel you could offer Ernest the safe and caring home he deserves, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].

🚨Urgent foster needed near our Tunbridge Wells branch

We urgently need a calm, quiet foster home -or ideally two- for five nervous kittens. They were rescued yesterday from harsh outdoor conditions. Their mums are fully feral and will remain at our centre; they are fully bonded and will stay together.

We have absolutely no spare space left but turning them away wasn’t an option. Tragically, two kittens had already died before we were asked to help. The kittens we have now are safe, but they urgently need a calm, quiet environment where they can recover and begin to feel secure after such a traumatic start to life. This is typically a commitment of two to three months, until the kittens are old enough and socialised to go to their forever homes in pairs. If two foster homes come forward, we can split the kittens into a group of three and a group of two.

Overnight, the kittens have already relaxed with warmth, comfort and kindness. We know they will blossom into loving lap cats, but to do this they will need TLC in a calm environment.
Fostering is typically 2–3 months. You will need experience with cats, a spare room with no outdoor access, and transport for vet visits. Owning your own cats is fine if vaccinated. We can provide litter and food.

For more info on short-term fostering, please get in touch: [email protected]

🙏🏼Thank you, sweet Ava🙏🏼

Michelle, along with her lovely daughter Ava, adopted Flora from us 18 months ago. Flora had been abandoned by some bins in Orpington & was very distressed. She now has a wonderful life with Michelle & Ava.

Ava very kindly decided she would like to raise some money for the charity. She made Loom bands which she sold to friends. She raised an amazing £106.96! We think that is incredible & so kind of her.

Thank you, Ava, for your generosity & kindness, and Michelle, for being so supportive & for giving Flora such a wonderful home.

URGENT UPDATE ON OUR UNDERGROUND GARAGE SENIOR CATS

When we first asked for help, this large group of feral senior cats had moved into an underground garage after their long-term TNR site was demolished without warning. Thanks to your shares and kindness, we now have some truly unexpected good news…

A wonderful person has come forward and offered to adopt all of the cats together in a safe countryside environment.

A safe, warm, permanent home where they can live out their remaining years side by side. It’s more than we dared to hope for.

But before we can send them to their new home, we’ve discovered a serious problem.

All thirteen of the cats from this group urgently needed dental treatment.

📍https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/29344

Broken teeth, cavities, painful infections… the kind of problems that cause silent suffering in stoic, older cats. Anyone who has ever experienced toothache knows how intense and debilitating dental pain can be. These cats have endured it quietly for far too long.

They are finally safe now, but we urgently need your help once more.

Dental work for senior cats is incredibly expensive and must be done before they can move on to their new home. This is our chance to give them real relief, real comfort, and the dignity they deserve after years of surviving outdoors.

Our vets have already begun the dental treatments, bringing each cat to relief to each cat.

If you can give anything today, it truly matters. Your donation will go directly toward:
• Dental extractions and treatment
• Pain medication
• Antibiotics
• Follow-up veterinary care

📍https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/29344

Every contribution helps us close the gap so these seniors can finally begin the gentle, peaceful life that all senior cats should have.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this appeal is just as powerful. The more people who see this, the faster we can get these cats the treatment they desperately need.

A softer life for these beautiful seniors awaits. Watch this space for their first steps onto their beautiful countryside home…

Thank you for standing with them.

HALLOWEEN 🎃👻
Halloween is a one-year-old femalewho is now ready for a loving home of her own. She was abandoned in a garden with her kittens, but with time and care she has grown in confidence and become a gentle, affectionate cat.

Her Ideal Home:
- Can live with other friendly cats
- Can live with calm, older children
- Would like outdoor access once settled

Halloween may have started off shy, but she has blossomed into a warm and loving companion. She would make a wonderful addition to a quiet, understanding home.

If you feel you could offer Halloween the safe and caring home she deserves, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].
