Oh Crackling.mp4

Our gorgeous boy Crackling has been busy helping Dee in the office. Unfortunately this has meant he has realised that no one has applied to adopt him, he is heartbroken. 🥺 He takes all the applications for Dee to double check because surely there's some mistake. Crackling is an ex racer, he is an absolute goof with bags personality. He does have his quirks but don't we all! These can be forgiven for his amazing admin skills 👏

Rosie has been learning so much from Dee in the office. She has mastered GDPR and shredding!! 🤣🥰

Look who's ready for adoption! These little monkeys are absolutely full of spice! We have said adult only home due to the behaviour shown in this video, this could really upset small children! It does hurt. These are extremely active kittens so would probably be quite annoying for older cats. Calm, confident friends would really help them out. We absolutely love these guys, considering how poorly they were, we are all over the moon that they all survived and are sooooo mischievous!! 😍

Pretzel.mp4

We have been incredibly busy in the cattery recently. A mum and her 6 babies who were taken to a vets after they were found by a member of public, arrived very sick and needing 4x daily medication and eye cleaning. We also had to syringe feed them as poor mum was so depleted after giving everything she had to her litter. The most severely affected kittens had to be nebulised to try and clear their congested respiratory systems. It was very touch and go. As always, our team will do everything in their power to try and save these fragile babies. One of the litter, Pretzel had been really struggling with flu symptoms, we nearly lost her a couple of times as she stopped eating and was struggling to breathe. The team continued to medicate, syringe feed and nebulise this precious little lady x5 a day including in the middle of the night. Then.....she started eating!!! And...her breathing became pretty much normal!!! There has been tears, there has been joy and everything in between while we have been working so hard to save these babies. And now their future is much brighter ✨️ Their futures are only made brighter thanks to your support. We are so grateful to everyone who has supported our Urgent Appeal and we are getting close to our target which is just incredible. If you are able to make a donation you really are providing a lifeline to animals like Pretzel.

Evening supper time ...🥰

Melody's Training.MOV

Young Melody here is just starting her training with a view to potentially being a ridden horse. In order to help keep her relaxed in an unfamiliar environment doing something very new, we brought her best pal Bradley along. We couldn't help but think Bradley and Oli looked like bouncers! 🤣 'If your names not down, you're not coming in'😆

Chardrock.mp4

We wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU to Michelle and John, organisers of the incredible Chardrock who chose Ferne to be their charity this year! Michelle, John, and the wonderful people who attended raised a phenomenal £2621.77! This added onto our stand’s takings for the weekend makes a grand total of £3249.97!!! 🥳🥳 Every penny of this will go towards caring for the animals at Ferne (especially the black cats as we know that Michelle has a particular soft spot for these guys!) 🐈‍⬛ The festival was absolutely amazing, and we all had the BEST time with our fundraising stand, children’s activities and pop-up charity and gift shops whilst enjoying the music from some incredibly talented bands 🎸🎶 everyone was just so lovely and we truly felt at the heart of this amazing local event 💚 Thank you so much again for being such a fantastic crowd and for welcoming us – we honestly cannot thank you enough! Rock on Chardrock!!🤘
