Happy Monday everyone!
Ok we admit... we have a bit of kitten nostalgia going on 😂
But look how much our little Sox has grown since we rescued him (along with his Mumma and 2 siblings) back in 2021.
He's is my shadow and mini panther. Bonded with me from 6weeks old, and I've never looked back. I have strong bonds with all my furbabies 🥰

It's rare I get them all together on the sofa with me. Cherish these moments with your furbabies ❤️
Doggo is snug as a bug next to the radiator and I have my 3 mobile heaters. Happy days 🥰

Enrichment is very important, especially for house bunnies. We borrowed a few of our regular clients' bunnies to show you all some easy, but super effective ideas 💡😁
Thank you Maddie & Aofie ❤️🐾❤️

Tasty Lettuce! Rio & Tiny love their fresh veggies.
They wanted me to tell everyone, that veggies make you big and strong! And they are super delicious 😋

Here is a short video of the table my Mother & I had set up ❤️

Poppy... Being... Well, Poppy ☺️🐾
Early hours of the morning, we heard an interesting noise from the boarding room. We had a look on our PetCam... and found out what the noise was...
Poppy is going home this weekend, and we are certainly going to miss her mad moments. She cracks us up 😂😂

Marvin is a completely different cat since his surgery. He used to get annoyed if Sox was around... 3 weeks post surgery and look at them! Sox will take any opportunity he can get to sit/play with his foster brother.
These two melt my heart ❤

It's such a lovely day, we decided to let Peep have a little paddle in the pool. He/she still can't fly properly, but is certainly making progress!

Spay/Neuter Your Furbabies!
**SMOKEY UPDATE** - Sound On
A prime example of why you should spay/neuter your pets. IF we hadn't had caught Smokey at the back end of last year, she would now be at the mercy of the various tomcats in the area, for as you can hear, she is now in season. Very easy to tell, as this howling gets progressively louder and more constant as time goes on.
I just wanted to give our followers a solid example of what a female in season sounds like. Smokey's last litter was her second that we know of. Sox is now 15weeks old. So nearly 4months after giving birth to her last litter and weaning them off her, she is now ready to mate again, and have more kittens. As a statistic, the gestation period for a female cat is around 2months. So a female can have anything up to 5 litters in a year. On average, a cat will live to 14, meaning un-spayed, she could have anything up to 70 litters in her lifetime... Most litters range from 3-5 kittens.
Based on the average of 5 litters per year, containing 5 kittens over 14 years... THAT'S 350 POSSIBLE KITTENS FROM ONE FEMALE CAT. Felines do not go through the menopause, so they are fertile throughout their lives, although their litters may get smaller with age.
Smokey is roughly a year old. When you think how many un-spayed females there are, it's easy to see why so many kittens end up abandoned. Luckily for Sox, Bronson and Gizmo, we got to them in time.
Fortunately for Smokey, she will not have another litter. Now we know she is in season, we can arrange to get her spayed by Cats Protection. She is slowly coming round, becoming less nervous and letting me stroke her more often. I still haven't managed to coax out any purrs... but I am confident that one day, she will show us her true colours <3
