PIRATE PETE

Today we say a sad goodbye to one of our old boys, permanent foster cat Pirate Pete.

He certainly was a character! Could be feisty and protective, especially over his little cat harem! He was of indeterminate age and a grumpy old soul, but much loved by his fosterers Lynn Alford-Burow and Paul.

Thank you both for taking such special care of him.

Rest easy Pete

Bear

Our beautiful chunky Bear took a while to settle in with us here in Saltash after his time on the street.

With patience and love, he realised he was safe and became a cuddle monster.

His story hit home with his new family after the loss of their elderly lady. Their love of black cats, Bear stole their hearts.

On his first night in his new home, he was settled after checking it all out.

utter mscum

The shocking incident, believed to have been carried out by Councillor James Garnor, captured on video, shows the cat being blasted after stepping into a birdhouse rigged with explosives.

Joseph 😺
Happy Ever After Story

Darling Joe Joe travelled all the way from Dubi straight to me in Cornwall.

A street cat, unaware of home life. We showed him unconditional love, patience, a bit of bribery, and showed him he was safe.

One day, his story caught the eye of his new family. Introductions were slow to start with, as the resident cat had a big change, but I knew Joe would be a good boy as he loved cat company here with me and the cats.

Joe is now living his best life with his family. 😺😺

We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to our rescue friends at the Cool For Cats Cafe on the sudden and very sad loss of their lovely cat Jet. Jet had been there for sometime and was one of the favourites. Such a loving cuddly boy. 😢

BUSTER

Sometimes we get asked by fellow rescues to help a needy cat. Buster was one such cat. He was found as a poorly stray, FIV+ with terrible skin and in need of a dental. He had long since been abandoned by his so called family. He was miserable and in pain.

He was rescued by a lovely lady, who gave him food, love and initial care. He had most of his painful decayed teeth removed.

He was then transported to us, where we neutered him and started treatment for his skin. Sadly a test showed he also had calici virus, on top of the FIV. with treatment, his skin did show signs of improving but his body was struggling. This poor boy was obviously still in pain, was just about eating, but was shutting down, both physically and mentally. We threw everything his way, the best food, vet care, creams, pain relief, and so much love, but nothing was working.

Buster was just putting his face to the wall.

We tried everything we could but had to make the heart-breaking decision to let him go.

If only his owners did not abandon him, if only they had got him neutered, if only someone noticed him sooner……

with much love and thanks to Sarah Williams and Roff for initially helping this precious boy.

Rest easy Buster.

Happy February everyone! Here’s our February calendar star – the lovely Morris. Doesn’t he just look adorable in his little donut?🍩 These are a great alternative to the ‘cone of shame’ and so much more comfortable and less stressful for the cat, but please always check with your vet as they might not be appropriate for your cat’s condition.

Our big news for the month is that we have a new auction starting on 12th February with at least 100 lovely quality items to bid on. There is a separate page for this (see below) and we’ll give you more information when we’re ready to start. Please do join in and tell all your friends as this is a great way to raise much needed funds so we can help more cats.

As ever, we are looking for shop volunteers for our charity shop in Paignton, so could you spare as little as 3 hours a week to help out? There are so many different roles on the shop floor and behind the scenes so if you think this could be for you, get in touch or pop into the shop for a chat. You can even come in and do a no obligation trial session! We have a lovely team here and it’s a great way to make friends. The more volunteers we have, the more donations we can process and get out for sale. When we’re short of volunteers we often have to turn donations away which we hate doing. One thing though we are short of is books, so if you have any good quality books that you no longer want, then we’ll gladly take them off your hands📖

Hope everyone has a lovely month and don't forget to join the auction😻

Meet Buster.
Buster has had a hard, unhappy life up till now. He was cruelly abandoned and became ill - not even castrated, and uncared for.

Sarah changed all that!

She took him under her wing, cared for him and searched for a home for this lo9vely boy, and Feline Network offered to take him in.

Buster has now been chipped and snipped,. but he is FIV and with hardly any teeth due to them being awful, he has bad gums, lesions on his body, BUT he has every opportunity to get better. His foster mum is doing everything to improve his health and his life. This will be a long journey for this lovely boy, so please send all healing vibes his way!
