TIGGER

Tigger, who is male, ginger and white and 14 years, 10 months’ old, is looking for a happy retirement home. After his owner reluctantly moved into permanent care last month, her daughter reached out to HFC to ask for help to re-home him.

Tigger arrived into HFC Foster care in New Malden four weeks’ ago. Initially a little restless at night, he is now sleeping soundly on his Carer’s bed and has developed a real love of facial massage! He loves to spend time outside and would like to find a home with a safe garden to enjoy. Whilst content to play with string or a ball of foil for a short time, Tigger appears confused by most toys, preferring to receive a fuss and to be gently brushed.

Tigger likes to be allowed to approach his humans and to establish a routine. Therefore, we feel that he will be happiest to live with adults who spend the majority of their time at home. He would prefer to be an only pet.

Tigger, who has previously been neutered, has received a health check from our Shelter Vet, including a dental scale and polish, ear clean and insertion of a microchip. Tigger feels stressed by visits to a Vet. Therefore, we would like to find adopters for him with time and patience to help him with carrier training and to reassure him on those days when he needs to travel.

As a senior cat, Tigger is a member of the HFC Golden Oldies club. Whilst there is no obligation for his adopter to pay an adoption fee, a suggested donation of £50 could help towards vet fees for another senior cat in the future.

If you would like to offer a happy retirement home to Tigger, please check out the checklist in his media where you can see the type of home he is looking for.

MYLA

Back in June, brown tabby, Myla, was rescued by a member of the public, along with her two, five-day-old kittens, because her owners were being evicted from their home. HFC is supporting her finder to prepare some of the cats rescued for adoption.

A young mum at 1 year, 2 months old, Myla loves to play with her now eight-week-old kittens. However, having been a wonderful mum, she is becoming over-protective of the kittens and we feel she would now be happier to find a forever home of her own. Zoomies form an important part of young Myla’s day, where she entertains her family by running and jumping around, on and off furniture! She is also able to relax and is very affectionate, loving to sit with her family on the sofa, but we understand that she tends not to be a lap-cat. Myla has a sensitive stomach which is kept in check with a well-known brand of wet food, so her adopters will need to maintain a wet food diet.

Myla enjoys spending time outside, so she is looking for a home that has a safe garden. Having struggled whilst living in a busy home shared with other pets and young children, Myla would like to either live with adults or alongside a family with respectful children, aged 12+, where she can enjoy being an only pet.

Myla, who has previously been spayed, microchipped and is covered by vaccination until September, is available for adoption via our Direct Re-home Service. This means that potential adopters will be invited to meet her at her finder’s home in Staines.

If you would like to invite lively Myla to become part of your life, please check out the checklist in her media where you can see the type of home she is looking for.

MISSY & CHAPO

Sister and brother, Missy (Black & White) & Chapo (Tabby & White) were purchased aged just eight weeks’ old through an unregulated website by three children who were able to do so without seeking permission from their parents. After four months, the children’s parents became concerned that the family were unable to offer the now six-month-old kittens the care and attention they deserved. They were also unable to afford to have them neutered, leaving the kittens unable to enjoy time outside safely, and so they contacted HFC to ask for help to re-home them.

As the first step towards re-homing, we arranged for Missy and Chapo to be neutered before taking them to our Cat Cabins on the Surrey/Hampshire border where they are settling in nicely. They are already very friendly, with Missy inviting her Carers to tickle her tummy without time limit after just a few days!

Missy and Chapo are very closely bonded and would like to be re-homed together. They have potential to either live with adults or a family with very respectful children, aged 5+. They are loving, affectionate and playful and would benefit from finding a home with adopters who have lots of time to play with them. They like all toys, but their favourite is a fluffy fishing rod. In their previous home, the kittens always spent evenings with their family, enjoying a fuss on their laps or sitting on the sofa.

If you would like to offer Missy and Chapo a loving, forever home and your time, please check out the checklist in their media where you can see the type of home they are looking for. Thank you.

RE-HOMED!

ROMY & WILLOW

Alan's Cabin neighbours, Romy (black & white) & Willow, (tabby & white) who are also patiently waiting to charm their way in the heart of a loving adopter, also posed for two, new photos for us to share with you!

Now aged one year and four months, the girls were bought by their owner when they were kittens. Since then, their owner and her daughter have suffered with severe allergies attributed to the cats and, believing the cats will be happier in a home that can offer regular access to a safe garden, asked HFC for help to re-home them.

Willow and Romy, who are sweet and gentle cats, have now been in care for six weeks. Willow, who is the most confident, is affectionate and a lap cat. Whilst Romy is also very affectionate, she is more shy and prefers to receive a fuss on her own terms. The girls love to play and have great fun together, particularly enjoying their tunnels, toy mice and a fishing rod. The cats were always interested to be involved in whatever their owner was doing and to join her for a cuddle on the sofa in the evenings.

Due to the allergies of their owners being triggered through brushing, the condition of Romy and Willow’s coats had deteriorated and they arrived into HFC care with their long fur badly matted. Matted fur is painful for cats, so our Vet has detangled as much as possible but it has been necessary to shave some sections of the girls’ coats so that they are comfortable whilst they await their forever home. Our latest photos show an amazing improvement in the condition of their fluffy coats!

Whilst staying at our Cat Cabins on the Surrey/Hampshire border, Romy and Willow have unexpectedly made great friends with a regular young visitor to the owners, visibly happy to accept a fuss and play with her. Therefore, we are now able to welcome applications from families with very respectful children, aged 5+.

If you would enjoy helping return Romy and Willow's gorgeous coats to good condition and happy to commit to brushing them both daily, please review their revised Checklist in their media before completing our application form. Thank you.

ALAN

Alan, who originally came into care at our Cat Cabins on the Surrey/Hampshire border, has posed for some new photos for his portfolio!

Black & white and 13 months’ old, Alan is looking for a forever home after his owners moved in with parents and other family members and struggled to settle into the new, busy environment. He was particularly frightened of an Assistance Dog already resident which often led to him running from the house, sometimes towards a busy road. Concerned for his long-term wellbeing, Alan’s owner asked HFC for help to find a suitable home for him.

As the first step to helping him, we first arranged for Alan to be neutered, which will help him to feel calmer and more easily settle into a forever home. At the same time, our Shelter Vet health checked, microchipped and first vaccinated him, so that he is fully prepared for re-homing from a medical perspective.

Alan is now happy to accept a head stroke and we all suspect that a cheeky character is emerging (see photo)! He has simple taste in food, preferring Whiskas over gourmet brands.

We have just moved Alan into foster care in Ewell in the hope that time spent in a calm, home environment will help him to relax. We think he would prefer to live in a calm, adult home. With a very careful introduction, we believe that he has potential to live alongside another very friendly cat, but due to his experience, he would prefer a home without dogs.

If you would like to offer shy Alan a loving, forever home, please check out the checklist in his media where you can see the type of home he is looking for.

COOKIE

Cookie, who is female and six years’ old, is looking for a forever home. This pretty, calico cat has become available for adoption after one of her owners recently developed a severe allergy to cats.

Upon arrival to HFC foster care in Hampton Wick, Cookie was initially very shy, but in just a matter of hours, sought out her Carer for attention. She is a friendly and brightly chatty cat who really enjoys head bumps and snuggling with her Carer, nuzzling into cosy areas, like armpits and elbows!

It’s early days in foster care, but we understand that, in her previous home, Cookie liked to play with ping pong balls, hair bands and cardboard boxes. During the warm summer months, she enjoyed spending most of her time outside in her garden where she also had access to a shed to shelter from showers. When it is colder, she likes to watch the world go by from a window.

Cookie can sometimes be particular about how she likes to be stroked and we feel she has potential to live with adults or alongside a family with respectful children, aged 10+. With a very careful introduction, Cookie has potential to live alongside a friendly, well-behaved, older dog. However, she would prefer to be an only cat.

If you would like to offer Cookie a loving, forever home with safe, outside space (with or without shed!), please check out the checklist in her media where you can see the type of home she is looking for.

RE-HOMED!

NALA

This lovely lady is Nala, who is white & black and 4 years and 7 months’ old. She has become available for adoption following a relationship breakdown that has led to her spending increasing time alone whilst her owner works long hours away from home. Nala loves human company and her owner has requested help from HFC to re-home her with adopter(s) who are able to offer her the time and attention she deserves.

Nala is friendly and playful, sometimes racing up and down the stairs at her home and enjoying playing with a feather fishing rod. She likes her food and punctuality(!) and, at mealtimes, Nala will sit on a chair en-route to the kitchen and remind her owner with a tap each time she passes the kitchen until she is fed!

Nala likes affection on her own terms, and has potential to either live with adults or alongside a family with respectful children, aged 10+. She does not like other cats and is frightened of dogs, and, therefore, she would like a home where she is the only pet.

Nala is available for adoption via our Direct Re-home Service. This means that potential adopters with an approved home check will be invited to meet her at her current home in Egham.

If you would like to offer lovely Nala a forever home with a safe garden, please complete our application form below. Thank you.

SHADOW

We are still searching for a lovely new home for Shadow, who is male, black and now estimated to be one year old.

This kind-natured and affectionate boy arrived into the garden of one of our Foster Carers in early April. She had found him sleeping in her shed and realised that he had been surviving by eating food she had been putting out for the birds. Concerned for his welfare, she put a cosy cat bed in the shed and started to leave Shadow his own meals.

Our Carer’s efforts to locate Shadow’s owner through neighbourhood social media was sadly unsuccessful. He knows how to use a cat flap and litter tray and it is likely he had a home at some point.

Shadow had not been microchipped, so our Carer continued to build trust with him until he was regularly going inside the house and she was able to pop him in a carrier for a health check with a Vet. In preparation for re-homing, the Vet arranged for Shadow to be microchipped, neutered and to receive his vaccinations. He was diagnosed with “floating knees” on his back legs. This means that, whilst Shadow has a slightly unusual walk, this does not cause him pain or slow him down in any way whilst playing hide and seek with his Foster Carers!

Shadow is friendly and would like a home where he will have company most of the time, either with adults or a family with quiet and respectful older children, aged 8+. He is currently being fostered in Epsom where he is ready to charm potential adopters!

If you would like to offer lovely Shadow a forever home with a safe garden, please complete our application form below. Thank you.
