MERRY CHRISTMAS

We hope that you have enjoyed meeting some of our residents over the past 24 days in the advent calendar posts.

Thank you for all of the generous support you have given us in 2024, particularly with the food appeals, it is greatly appreciated and essential to the successful running of the shelter.

Our final resident of the 2024 posts is Casper, he was brought in by a very kind gentleman who was looking after him but was unable to keep him permanently due to health issues.

Casper has now taken over the office and believes that he runs the shelter, as you can see from his demeanour whilst sat in his executive chair! He can also quite often be found on the computer base unit!.
From Casper and us all at Millstream we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 24

Our Christmas Eve window resident is the immensely popular Bear. He was living as a stray and came to us after the elderly lady who was feeding him passed away.

He is a strikingly handsome boy who
is at his happiest sat on someone’s lap being stroked and brushed.

He sleeps in the oldies room but ventures out in to the cats lounge and grounds most days as he likes a wonder.

He has people visit the shelter to specifically sit with him.

He is a quiet boy but if provoked by any of the cats who try to dominate him, he has a mean right hook and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself.
Bear would love donations of quality items for the charity shop please and to consider us if you have any unwanted Christmas presents

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 23

At age 15, Nancy is one of our oldest resident cats.

She is a little cross eyed and she does like a cuddle but can be a bit temperamental and when she has had enough fuss she will certainly let you know. It’s all on Nancy’s terms.

She refuses to take her daily medication unless it was wrapped in chicken!

Nancy spends a lot of her time in her favourite cosy sleeping places in the cats main lounge and it’s often near to a radiator!
Nancy would love donations of kitchen roll please

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 22

Missy is another long term resident who came to us after being neglected in a bad home.

She has a unique and quiet meow which sounds more like a hiss.

She is always hanging around the main lounge area and knows all of the faces who bring her treats including ham and chicken and is straight over to them on arrival!

She is a happy and quiet girl who is also one of our sponsor cats.

Missy would love you to sponsor her for £12 per year or indeed one of the other sponsor cats

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 21

Back to the boys today and this is Nico.

He came to us as an abandoned kitten earlier this year.

He has had some quite severe gastric issues since he very first arrived and they are still being managed on an ongoing basis.

Because of this, it was decided that we would look after him and take on his medical needs at Millstream as a resident cat.

He is a friendly and playful boy and can throw in a bite from time to time with some rough play! He does get access to our Catio and has made friends with some of the other cats.
Nico would love donations of Purina dry food food please

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 20

We have another lovely black girl today, Beauty lives up to her name and is a gorgeous long haired girl.

She was living as a stray and was brought in to the shelter with some health issues.

She is an older girl but is absolutely delightful company and lives in our Oldies Room with some of our other senior cats.

She has settled really well in her new surroundings and we are trying to get to the bottom of her gastric issues.
Beauty would love donations of wet food please

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 19

Flower was pregnant when she came to the shelter. She attacked the lady who was trying to help her.

She prefers male company when it comes to humans and spends a lot of time in the workshop with some of the male staff.

Flower is also a regular in the charity shop.

She is really feisty with the other cats despite her small frame, and always makes her way to the front of the queue when treats are being handed out.
Flower would love donations of easy wash throws for the lounge where she enjoys lazing about, mainly near the front door

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 18

Jemima has been with us for around 6 years.

She came in with her kittens after being trapped as she was living in a garden.

She was very nervous at first and showed feral tendencies.

It took a while for her to socialise and she spent most of her time outdoors.

Within the past year or two, she has bonded with some staff and volunteers and now is very happy on your lap for strokes once you have won her trust.

She is quite shy with the other cats and tends to blend in to the background amongst some of the stronger personalities here.

Jemima loves it equally outdoors and indoors and can be found in the cats lounge and car park
usually.
Jemima would love donations of heavy duty bin liners please

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 17

Rudy and Jess are brothers and first arrived back in 2022.

Rudy is the ginger boy and Jess is black and white.

We did try to home them together and they had some viewing appointments but unfortunately Jess didn’t show himself well and they didn’t get a home.

Due to their close bond they were kept together and now live at the shelter. Jess is very territorial and often ends up in a ruck with newly released cats to show them who is boss.

Rudy is quite a gentle boy but also has had some run ins with other cats of late, particularly gingers! They love to cuddle up together and are quite inseparable
Rudy and Jess would love for you to buy one of our 2025 Millstream Calendars priced at £5 from our shop or office.

Marco has had a really hard time being abandoned and forced to fend for himself, with the battle scars to show.

He came in petrified scared of everything and hiding away constantly alert and on edge.

He's back on the pens on a smaller section where he has a bit more freedom.
He's even been playing under the pen door with a couple of other cats.

He needs to go to a home where he's the only pet, no children. Where he can be left to do his own thing and come round in his own time.

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 16

Binty came to us in 2024 when her owner could no longer keep her.

She was very very feisty on the pens and would attack constantly. She was on the pens for a while and continued this behaviour.

We released her on site and immediately she started to boss around the other cats and mark
her territory.

She’s very dominant with the other cats especially when food is around, but has become really friendly with staff and volunteers and now always makes a bee line for a stroke
Binty would love donations of towels please
