Despite so much tragedy these are some HAPPY TALES.
Those roaming tails that have found a new home through family, friends and fellow rescuers.
While they may never replace the unique bond they had with Vikki, they will hopefully find love and kindness, be well fed and warm.
We always picture Vikki in the winter with her animal family all surrounding the log fire together!

UPDATE ON CATS FOSTERED IN MACEDONIA
With sincere thanks and solidarity to fellow rescuers in Macedonia several of whom have stepped in to foster and find homes for several of Vikki’s animal family. Also thank you to those that are helping to advertise and spread the word and to Ivan, Vikki’s friend who is feeding her remaining roaming tails.

When searching for homes at this charitable time of year, its hard not to reflect on the nativity story and there being ‘no room at the inn’. We desperately hope that from the many people that showed such respect and compassion at Vikki’s funeral, some more may provide a safe haven and better still, loving and lasting homes. This would be Vikki’s lasting wish.

Here’s an update on which animals have been fostered by which Macedonian rescuers. Please lets support all these rescuers and help them find homes.:-

Here’s an update on which animals have been fostered or adopted by Macedonian rescuers, family & friends:-

Wild at heart was what Vikki called her more timid or semi feral cats. To her they were all welcome and each had distinct personalities. Some like Aslan, found her on the fields, in the snow and the two of them always had an incredible bond. She adored him as perhaps they were both wild at heart.
Aslan now lives on a field sheltering in a tiny dog kennel. She dreamed of so much more for him and all the roaming tails but had to struggle with making things from nothing. What she did have in abundance was love and compassion and we want that empathy to be continued through us all to them. Following her death some have become more timid and BonBon has disappeared altogether. We can only imagine the trauma they are all going through.

To anyone and everyone who has adopted from Vikki, who has been inspired by the empathy she extended to others or who simply cares about animal welfare ...... we need you to reach out to help now.
These are her adored family that are like us, bereft at losing her.
If you want to make a difference, honour her legacy and change lives please contact us urgently.
Also please each share if you care .....
Do message us for more info if you think you can give one or more of them a wonderful home or could sponsor them.

URGENT SPECIAL HOMES NEEDED

Vikki was remarkable. She made no distinction between any animals that needed her help. While she was alive she left no stone unturned to help a waif or stray on the street, whether old or young, fit or sick, able or disabled. It is only in her unexpected death that she was forced to leave them and we know it would be her lasting wish that they were safe.

In particular her roaming tails that relied on her the most were some with needs. From her adored legendary Ariel (see previous post) who she rescued after finding him partly paralysed, to Betty Blue who has meds for bronchitis to Django and Tobias who simply need a urinary diet.

To anyone and everyone who has adopted from Vikki, who has been inspired by the empathy she extended to others or who simply cares about animal welfare ...... we need you to reach out to help now.

These are her adored family that are like us, bereft at losing her.

These 3 gorgeous roaming tails are all embracing the New Year and each looking to find loving and lasting homes. They are all young, full of energy and in the prime of their lives! Marley & Alex are actually siblings but none of them need to be homed together.

If you are looking to get fitter in the new year......look no further!!!
We think they would all be ideal walking or running companions!

WISHING YOU ALL
A KINDER & MORE COMPASSIONATE NEW YEAR
especially to those most vulnerable and in need!

Please find below an update on Vikki's animal family in Macedonia. We are so grateful to Ivan for dropping everything and flying over to care for them and for the rescuers out in Macedonia who have stepped in to take many under their wing and for Vikkis family who will adopt her two oldest residents.
We still urgently need help in the form of sponsoring, fostering or better still adopting the remaining members that were all so precious to Vikki.
They will be fed by Vikk's friend Ivan until the final ceremony on 16th January but after this they have no one in Berovo to help so THEY URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP........NOW x

🖤 URGENT – ARIEL NEEDS A SPECIAL FOREVER HOME 🖤
Roaming Tails Rescue
ARIEL is …in a nutshell… LEGENDARY

He is a male cat, under 5 years old, playful but disabled, and will need a dedicated, patient loving home for life. He cannot survive without human care — but what he gives in return is extraordinary.
Ariel was just 3 months old when Vikki got a call in July 2021. A man who fed a local stray cat colony had found a black kitten lying injured in a neighbour’s garden. He couldn’t stand or move his back legs. Vikki rushed him to a specialist vet. Then another. Then another.
All three said the same thing: his lower back was badly damaged and he would never walk again. One vet advised euthanasia. Vikki refused!
She brought Ariel home to live with her cats and dogs. The first months were difficult, but with intense care, therapy, and endless patience, Ariel slowly began to regain feeling in his legs. He even tried to stand on all fours though he was never able to walk.
Vikki described him best herself:
“Ariel is a very intelligent boy who learnt how to move in the house and even climb on the beds. He is amazing with all the new foster babies, sleeps with them and is always the first to welcome them.
The little black kittens Felicia and Fenix sleep with him like he is their mother and make the pose of breastfeeding
He loves Betty Blue and his big mama, the dog Vidra. They wash him and then he washes their ears 😁
Because he wore socks as a kitten instead od diapers Vikki named him ‘the sock kitty’.”

He became a constant presence in Vikki’s home, often seen in the background of her videos, washing kittens, comforting new arrivals. He was the feline fosterer for Roaming Tails rescue. She even tried wheelchairs for him, homemade and professional, but Ariel made it clear he preferred to pull himself along and live life on his own terms. Vikki respected his wishes.

Some time later Ariel developed FIP — and again, Vikki refused to give up. She spent everything she had on the life-saving medication from abroad, injecting him daily, even when it left her in debt. She said she would do it again and again if it meant saving her “little monkey”.
Against all odds, Ariel survived FIP.

Ariel is the very embodiment of Vikki’s empathy, determination, and belief that every life deserves a chance.
Now, after Vikki’s tragic death, Ariel’s future is heartbreakingly uncertain.

💔 He cannot fend for himself.
💔 He urgently needs a calm, safe, permanent home with someone who will cherish him for life.
In all this loss, we know one thing for sure: Vikki’s dearest wish would be for Ariel to be loved, protected, and adored. It would be a travesty on top of a tragedy if he doesn’t have a happy ever after story.

🙏 Please consider adopting or fostering Ariel.
🙏 Please share his story far and wide.
🙏 His fate is quite literally in our hands.
🖤 Let’s honour Vikki by saving and honouring the cat who meant so much to her.

Photos taken over last 4yrs to present.

💙 URGENT – BETTY BLUE NEEDS HELP 💙
Roaming Tails Rescue

Betty Blue (5yrs) is about to lose the only home she has ever known.

She was rescued from the streets of Berovo in June 2022 by our beloved founder Vikki, who first spotted her wandering alone in the city park, a gentle dog, still full of milk, seemingly searching for puppies that had likely been taken from her. Vikki fed her on the streets, but as winter set in, Betty’s health declined and she was coughing badly with bronchitis.

Despite already having over 25 cats and 2 dogs, and facing serious pressure from neighbours, Vikki could not leave her to suffer. She brought her home and with treatment, care, and a spot by the fire, Betty recovered from pneumonia. She was later neutered and still receives corticosteroids to manage a reverse cough and bronchitis. Vikki couldn't bear to put her back on the streets so she became part of the roaming tails family. Betty Blue was instinctively so gentle, with the dogs and cats, and especially formed a bond with Ariel, a legendary disabled cat, whom she mothered and washed. She welcomed new rescues, comforted the vulnerable, and was rarely far from Vikki’s side.

Tragically, Vikki spent the final months of her life trying desperately to protect her animals from people who wished them harm. One by one, members of her animal family that she had once saved, befriended and cared for were poisoned. She said each loss broke her heart in a million pieces. She was trying to move to somewhere safer and build a cattery but this took time as she had so many animals to consider and move with her.

Just before Christmas, Vikki passed away suddenly at only 37 years old. Her death has left family, friends, fellow rescuers, and supporters devastated. And now, the animals she adored and devoted her life to are at risk of losing everything.

💔 The animals need to find a safe haven on or before Vikki’s final ceremony on 16th January (her birthday).

While Vikki’s close friend Ivan has returned temporarily to Macedonia to pay his respects and care for her animals, he has to return after the final ceremony on 16th January (her birthday). He is working hard every day to try to ensure they are safe before he leaves. We are so very grateful to the rescuers in Macedonia who have shown solidarity with him and Vikki and stepped in to take some of her roaming tails or help find homes. Several animals though are still in urgent need of all our help and among them are Betty Blue, Ariel and others.

Vikki dreamed of perfect homes for her animals (in fact all animals) and always had their best interests at heart. She loved and befriended every roaming tail, whether old or young, black or white, able or disabled, tame or feral. They adored her in return.
Let’s honour her legacy, support rescuers on the ground and protect the family she gave everything to.

🙏 WE URGENTLY NEED:

Adopters or fosters in the UK, Macedonia, Germany etc…

Macedonian rescuers to help spread the word and get them to safety
