We just can't understand the lack of interest in our beautiful Dotti 😪

Can everyone please like, share and comment and let's see if a big push will help find Dotti her forever home 🤞

‼️ APPLICATIONS OPEN ‼️

Meet Dotti - a ten-month-old female cat!

⚠️ Can live with families
⚠️ Will need access to a garden (away from main/busy roads)
⚠️ Not tested with other animals

Hello there - my name’s Dotti! I’m approximately 10 months old.

A lovely couple found me as a stray; they took me in got my fleas sort, cared for me, and tried their best to locate my home... I wasn't chipped, and nobody came forward, so they contacted WAR to help.

WAR collected me, and I went into foster! I'm loving life with my foster dad! I am very affectionate and love hanging out with him. I also like to look out the window and watch the world go by. I will need my new owners to have access to a garden for me to explore. I also love my food and enjoying tucking into pretty much whatever is on offer!

I’m a gentle kitty and can live with children as long as they’re respectful and kind.

If you think you can offer me the loving forever home that I truly deserve, please complete the application form linked below!

Love,

Dotti ###

Meet Thor

⚠️ Can live with families
⚠️ Will need access to a garden (away from main/busy roads)

Hi there,
I am Thor. I am approx 17 months old I came into WAR as an unclaimed unchipped stray and attempts to find my owner came up empty
According to my foster mum I am a very fine specimen.
Handsome, sturdy and rather long!
I am energetic, playful and love a bit of parkour. I can master bunk beds with ease.
I am a friendly boy, sometimes nervous but think that'll ease in time.
I live with older children but think respectful younger ones will be fine.
I love strokes and cuddles and you can pick me up. I don't sit on laps yet but I do sleep on your bed, as close as possible is what I like.
I have a great appetite, you put it down, it's gone.
I have been known to be a bit lively at night, grooming in particular, but don't bother trying to boot me out of your room, I know how to get back in, I am strong.
I am a good all-rounder, happy, fun and playful.
If you think you can offer me a home please complete the application form

Love Thor xx

This is your one-week warning🐣!

You have just one more week until the official bird nesting season begins🪺! Depending on who you speak to, birds can begin nesting from now, all the way through 'til September, but we're giving you an extra week, because it's rare for wildlife centres to see baby birds in February, BUT it does happen.

So, if you have any major garden works you're just itching to get done, please consider getting them done now, to avoid any tiny birds being caught in the destruction. Remember, birds can hide their nests well, so, please check any bushes, shrubs, trees, hedges, leaf piles, rockeries and even sheds, before starting any work. It can make a huge difference as to whether these baby birds grow up with their parents or with us! We're sure they'd prefer their parents!

Share or even print this infographic to let your neighbours know, too.

‼️ READY NOW ‼️

Meet Balthazar - an eighteen-month-old male cat!

A very special person is needed for this very special cat! ❤️

⚠️ Adult-only home (or a home with teenaged children)
⚠️ Cannot be homed with other animals/pets
⚠️ Will need access to a garden (away from busy/main roads)
⚠️ Best suited to an owner experienced with nervous cats

Hello everyone - my name is Balthazar, and I am approximately 18 months old!

Now as you know, us cats have 9 lives... Well, I nearly cashed all of mine in on one day! You see, I was discovered at the recycling centre sealed up in a box - 15 minutes away from being crushed! Thankfully, an eagle-eyed worker spotted me and saved my life. They contacted WAR who rushed out to get me.

I was checked out by the vet, and although I was given a clean bill of health, I was really rather traumatised by the whole event and was quite hidey and swipey at first.

For the last couple of weeks, Baldy has been working hard with me at WAR HQ to gain my trust. I am coming on in leaps and bounds.

I now enjoy a fuss and will sit on his lap, but when I have had enough or start to feel a bit nervous, I will take a swipe and back away.

In order for me to continue to grow in confidence, WAR now think that the best place for me is in my own home, with someone who can be with me more often, giving me love, attention and reassurance but also respecting my boundaries.

I am looking for a quiet, calm home, with a very patient person (or people), who can spend a fair amount of time at home with me, gaining my trust. I would like a nice garden to explore once I'm settled in, but it needs to be away from main/busy roads.

I have been neutered, chipped, and vaccinated.

If you think you might be able to offer me a calm loving home, please complete the application form!

Thank you,
Balthazar x

Into the rescue today is Jason sporting his new lion cut and legwarmers, we don't think we've ever seen a cat so happy to be warm and safe tonight. Jason's roughly 8 years old but has obviously lived a hard and rough life on the streets over the last few years we suspect. He was in so much pain because of the matting on his back it broke our hearts today.
He's now on antibiotics/pain relief, eating well and beginning to realise there's a life beyond just suffering on the streets. He's tested negative for FIV/FELV thankfully, he's going to need extensive dental work and the obvious neutering in the near future though.
Thank you to Alex for bringing him to our attention and all your help.
Thank you to all the team at Parkside vets as well for pulling out all the stops with him this afternoon, along with your superb hairdressing skills!

When people contact wildlife rescues and rescuers an initial triage is given, leading to as to whether or not it's feasible to attend etc.
Part of the advice we give out if people ask 'Shall I pick it up or try to catch it before you arrive'?

Please don't!!

Whilst we understand you want to do the right thing please wait until a rescuer arrives on scene with the experience and the right equipment to handle wild animals.
Even then it doesn't always end well with regards to injuries to rescuers we can certainly testify to that!
Sadly in this case the fox got away and the person who picked it up ended up receiving first aid for bite wounds to her hand from us.
