TAWNEY IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
Tawney, who is ginger and white and estimated to be eight years’ old, came into HFC care last month after we received an urgent request for help from his care givers who had been feeding him in their garden for some time.
Tawney was dehydrated, skinny, had dirty, ripped ears and his few remaining teeth were broken and infected. His fur was unkempt, greasy and his tail was covered in secretions typical of an unneutered cat. We rushed Tawney to see our Shelter Vet, where he was first neutered and given a dental, fluids and medication. He was also checked for FIV and a microchip. Luckily, his test result for FIV was negative, but he had sadly not been microchipped.
Since arriving into foster care, Tawney, who is believed to be deaf and partially sighted, has been receiving lots of TLC and a special, high nutrition and calorie diet to help him to increase his weight. He enjoys human company, loudly meowing to greet his Carers and to note activities of interest in the world now safely outside his window! He is loving having regular meals served to him and is very affectionate. His carers affectionately describe Tawney as a "loving, grumbly teddy bear"!
We are delighted to report that Tawney is now well enough to be re-homed. If you would be interested in offering this lovely boy an adult home with very safe outside space, please complete our application form and we will contact you to discuss further.

If Tawney had received our help sooner, it is likely that he would have suffered less with fight injuries and been better able to maintain his health. The wellbeing of a cat living outdoors can be significantly improved by them being neutered and vaccinated and returned to their outdoor home until a foster or cattery space can be found for them.
If you ever become concerned about the welfare of a cat living outdoors, please don’t delay in asking for help and advice from a charit

RE-HOMED!
BETTY
This lovely lady is Betty who is just 11 weeks’ old. She was born in August to her stray mum who had set up home in a garden in London to give birth to a litter of five kittens. Concerned for the welfare of the kittens living outside, the homeowner set about finding homes for them through friends and family, but she was sadly unable to find a home for Betty. Therefore, Betty was briefly taken into the care of a vet practice before coming into Here For Cats' foster care in Lingfield.
Betty’s Foster Carer describes her as a confident and adventurous kitten, who is full of energy. She loves to play and does not tire of games easily! Therefore, she is looking for a home with adopters who will enjoy spending lots of time playing with her and where she will have access to safe outside space when she is big enough to spend time outside.
Betty has potential to live either with adults or alongside a family with very respectful children aged 5+. We think that she would also be happy to live alongside a very friendly cat.
In preparation for re-homing, we have arranged for Betty to be spayed, microchipped, first vaccinated and to receive preventative flea and worm treatment.
If you have a Betty-shaped space in your life and you are able to visit this gorgeous kitten at her foster home in Lingfield, please apply to adopt her by completing our form below. Thank you.

ADOPTED!
BELLA
16-week-old, sleek, black kitten, Bella, and her sister were bought by their previous owner in response to an advertisement on an online platform not managed by an animal welfare charity.
Once the girls had just started to settle into their new home, their owner was advised that the terms of his tenancy only allowed him to keep one pet. He therefore swiftly reached out to HFC to ask for help to re-home Bella.
We have recently taken Bella into our foster care in Oxshott. She is a confident lap kitten who purrs all the time! She sleeps the majority of the day and comes to life in the evenings when she is lively and very interested in her surroundings. She likes to play with anything she can get her paws on - she particularly likes shoelaces and a fishing rod toy. This cheeky girl also has a liking for non-kitten food and has been known to eat tuna and crab sticks alongside her standard wet and dry food diet. Bella uses her litter tray correctly.
Bella loved to play chase and other games with her sister and, with a careful introduction, we think that she has potential to live alongside a friendly kitten of a very similar age. Bella has had no experience with children or dogs.
In preparation for re-homing, Bella has been spayed, microchipped and received a first vaccination.
If you would like to offer shiny black Bella her forever home with you and you have safe, outside space for her to enjoy once she is older, please complete our application form and we will be in touch. Thank you.

TESSA (affectionately known as Tessy!)
Regular readers of our page may remember that we have been searching since July to find a forever home for 10-month-old tabby cats, Tessa and Marvin, the most shy kittens from Penny’s first family.
Prior to coming into HFC care, the siblings lived in a garden along with Mum and Dad, Penny and Morgan, and their brothers and sisters. The feeder of this gentle family, who was reluctantly preparing to move away, contacted HFC to ask for help to ensure that they all received vet care and shelter ahead of her departure.
Sister and brother, Tessa and Marvin, arrived into a new foster home in Cobham two weeks’ ago. Since then, they have spent more time together in a different type of space and no longer seem as content in each other’s company as before, with Tessa being more shy than Marvin. Therefore, we would now like to open up the opportunity for these gorgeous tabby cats to be re-homed separately.
Tessa would like to live in a quiet, adult home with a patient adopter(s) willing to offer her lots of time and space where she can enjoy being the only pet. In preparation for adoption, she has been health checked, spayed, microchipped and double vaccinated.
If you have a quiet home with safe outside space, and you would like to offer gentle Tessa the opportunity to build her confidence, please complete our application form below and we will contact you. Thank you.
