MINNIE & TIGGER'S STORY

Friends, Minnie and Tigger, came into care after their owner sadly passed away. When their owner’s daughter had been popping into feed them, these extremely shy cats had consistently hidden on top of a wardrobe, refusing to come down to eat until after she had left. HFC responded to a request for help by taking Minnie and Tigger into foster care whilst we searched for a forever home for them.

It was 11 weeks before these gorgeous, but nervous, friends captured the heart of their Adopters and it is another 11 since they arrived in their forever home. Both cats have increased in confidence, having progressed from their sanctuary room to having the run of the house. Tigger enjoys spending time in his new garden, and having fun, running in and out through the cat flap with great frequency, whereas Minnie prefers to spend more time inside. We understand that the pair spend less time on the tops of wardrobes and now enjoy sleeping on their Adopters’ bed at night. This is amazing progress – We are proud of you Minnie and Tigger!

ERIN

Friendly, black and white, female cat, Erin, who has been in HFC foster care for five weeks, is still waiting to find her forever home. She came into our care after many members of her family had to return to their home overseas, leaving only their eldest daughter in the UK, preparing to move into university accommodation where pets are not allowed.

Two-year-old Erin has already nursed a litter of kittens who have all been adopted through family contacts. To ensure that this gentle young cat never has to cope with another pregnancy, we have arranged for Erin to be spayed.

Erin’s young owner described her as her best friend. She most enjoys watching the world go by from a window or sitting by an open door. When alone, Erin is independent and happy to entertain herself. Having received some extra support from her Foster Carers, she now enjoys play, so important for wellbeing.

Erin has become a very affectionate lady with her Foster Carers. She has posed for some new photos and a video in order to charm potential adopters to apply for her. If you are tempted and would like to offer this sweet young mum a loving forever home of her own, please check out the Adoption Check-list in her media before applying to adopt her. Thank you.

BILLIE

Tabby & white boy, Billie, who is now 3 years, 8 months’ old, is still looking for a forever home.

Arriving into HFC foster care in Ewell six weeks ago, Billie has been the perfect guest and his confidence has grown every day. He has not been particularly active, preferring to receive a fuss from his Carers, always purring (see video). However, he is now showing interest in the outside world and we are keen to find him a forever home with a safe garden without delay.

Bought as a kitten by his original owners, we understand Billie has always been nervous. However, an unfortunate failure in a cat flap mechanism that allowed another cat access and to leave scent all over his home, stressed Billie and led to him persistently trying to cover up the scent of the other cat and crying at night. His owners, about to welcome another baby into their family, felt unable to cope with poor Billie’s anxiety and asked HFC for help to re-home him.

To ensure his continued progress, we would like to find Billie a forever home with adults where he can be the only pet. His home should be in a neighbourhood with a low cat population and where he will have regular access to a functional microchip cat flap to allow him to escape any unwanted interactions.

Billie is progressing so well that we feel he is now ready to meet potential adopters. If you would like to offer this gentle boy a loving, forever home, please check out his profile where you can see the type of home he is looking for:

DOTTIE & LOTTIE ARE LOVING THEIR FOREVER HOME

Youngsters, Dottie (left) & Lottie, came into the care of our Cat Cabins last November after they were rescued, along with two other cats, from a site where they were receiving insufficient care.

Lottie and Dottie were the perfect match for their new family and adopted so quickly that they weren't advertised. The cheeky teenagers are now enjoying life and posing for photos and videos at their forever home in Epsom. So now here's your moment of fame, girls! 😃

BINX & LUNAH

We are still searching for a forever home for best friends, Binx and Lunah, who have now been staying at our Cat Cabins on the Surrey/Hampshire border for five weeks. These sweet-natured cats have sadly become available for adoption after a relationship breakdown led to neither of their owners being able to care for them.

Binx, who is large, white & black (2 years, 9 months’ old), was bought by his owners as a kitten. Lunah, who is petite, black & white (1 year, 10 months’ old) was bought as a kitten companion for friendly Binx a few months later. The cats are closely bonded and would like to find a home together.

Whilst both cats have settled nicely into the Cat Cabins and are getting along well, there is a limit to how long cats may continue to be happy and interactive when they meet potential adopters whilst staying in this type of accommodation. Therefore, we are hoping to find a new home for Binx and Luna without delay. The cats' favourite toys from home are moving suggesting they are happily playing when they think nobody is watching!

In the cats' previous home, Binx was very friendly and affectionate, purring deeply whenever he was stroked. He enjoyed playing games with the family’s older children.

Lunah was affectionate with adults, loving deep scratches behind her ears and under her chin. She interacted less with the family’s children and enjoyed spending some time alone, particularly behind the sofa where there was cosy, underfloor heating! Luna enjoys playing with toys filled with catnip.

Binx and Lunah are ready to meet potential adopters. If you would like to offer a forever home to these sweet-natured and contrasting friends, please check out the Adoption Checklist in their media before applying to adopt them. Thank you.

TOM

Tom who is small, male, black & white and 8 years’ old, has come into HFC foster care because his owner sadly became unwell and has reluctantly had to move into permanent care.

Tom is a friendly cat, who loves to be the centre of attention. He is very affectionate, gently handing you his paw to let you know when he would like a fuss and, once he gets to know you, “making biscuits” on your lap. He loves his food (particularly treats) and to lie by a warm fire.

Tom, who is very confident, has become chatty and likes to be involved in whatever his Foster Carer is doing. He can be a little enthusiastic when playing with his favourite fishing rod toy and balls. He has potential to live alongside adults or a family with respectful older children, aged 10+.

Whilst in foster care, Tom has been a good brother to Fred, who is extremely shy and has been re-homed to a very quiet home suited to his needs.

Tom, who was previously neutered, has received a dental and been brought up-to-date with vaccinations and received preventative flea and worm treatment. During his HFC health check, he was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, a condition that is causing his thyroid to create too many hormones. To ensure he stays happy and feeling well, Tom will need to receive a small dose of medication twice a day, served in gastrointestinal food, potentially on a long term basis. He enjoys the taste of this medication and is always happy to receive it. Tom will need occasional vet check-ups to ensure he receives any minor adjustments needed to his medication levels. To support Tom and minimise costs for his ongoing care, HFC is willing to supply medication and pay 50% towards medication and vet costs for this condition.

With a very careful introduction, Tom has potential to live alongside another friendly cat. However, meal times would need to be supervised to ensure Tom receives accurate medication (and his companion does not)!

Tom is ready to meet potential adopters at his foster home in Cranleigh. If you would like to offer him a loving home that has safe, outside space and you are able to be at home at regular times in the morning and evening to provide his food and medication, please help us to help Tom and apply to adopt him today. Thank you.

BUFFY

We are still looking for a loving home for Buffy, who is a two-year-old, female, mackerel tabby. Here are some new photos of her in foster care.

Since the recent loss of her family’s senior cat, who was a calm and reassuring influence on everyone, Buffy had become unhappy living in her previous home. She stopped getting along with her sister and began to avoid the noise of family life. Concerned for her ongoing happiness, Buffy’s owner contacted HFC to ask for support to find Buffy a quiet, more suitable, home where she can relax.

Whilst Buffy is independent and has potential to live with an adult(s) who work away from home on some days, she has a soft spot for retired people who are happy for her just to sit on their laps and tickle her under the chin! Buffy also likes a jolly good scratch down her back and to “make cookies”! She is an affectionate girl, who likes to spend time in the same room as her human(s).

Buffy is ready to meet potential adopters at her new foster home in Woking. If you would like to offer a forever home to affectionate Buffy, please check out the Adoption Check-list in her media before applying to adopt her. Thank you.
