We’ve given Daisy a teddy bear to cuddle up to and she loves it. (Thanks to all the kind people who bring bears in for us – they don’t all go into the shop – a lot of frail animals like a furry toy for a friend when they’re feeling a bit lost) When […]
They come in at every hour of day and night and sometimes they are even tied to the gate and left. You might think that Christmas is when most dogs are dumped, but the summer holiday season is just as bad. Only a few of the recent strays have been claimed, the rest […]
Daisy is doing well and it’s all down to her foster mum, a good natured four year old tabby cat called Baige. This stripy feline has six new born kittens of her own to raise but still finds time to look after little orphan Daisy. It was touch and go for the kitten […]
Is Daisy getting stronger? I think so, she’s still eating on her own, only a nibble at a time but it’s obvious that she is finding the motherly love from Baige (who has her own newborn kittens) very reassuring. Baige kisses her and lets her cuddle up and this is better than any […]
Daisy has started to eat on her own already, although she can’t quite get it right, there’s still food all over her face, her paws and her whiskers but she is having a go and getting some down. She won’t take milk from a bottle even though she wants to suck. A plastic teat […]
We’ve had a really frail kitten brought in. She was found in a garden so we’re wondering if she was from a litter of a cat who is living wild. Sometimes cats move home and maybe this little one was left behind. We’re hand feeding her, she only takes a little at a […]
Tortie likes to be outside except when it rains and then, like most cats, she dashes indoors. She’s found a good spot – on a curtain behind a double glazed window, it’s cosy and she can watch the raindrops. Tortie’s eye has healed up completely now. At first it looked as though […]
The lifestyles of our cats have undergone a change in recent years. More and more cats are being kept indoors. This is fine if the cat likes the lifestyle and many of them, especially as they get older, do enjoy the comfort and safety. For other cats who enjoy hunting and climbing and […]
Felix – is one of the most charming boy kittens we’ve had in a long time. He’s beautifully marked black and white with longer hairs as a second coat. It’s a super two tone effect and he’s quite a poseur. Felix is a sweet natured, affectionate and playful kitten. He likes to be cuddled, […]
Whippets, like many other dogs, are always on the lookout for tasty scraps of food. Barbecues, picnics and alfresco eating means there is a lot more scavenging for them and don’t they love it! There’s a danger in leftovers though and too much fatty food can upset a doggy tummy. Remember that […]
