Heartbreaking watching all these kittens growing up in a cage, with zero requests for them 💔

They should be growing up in homes, stealing your seat on the sofa and being loved as part of a family, not watching the world go by from behind cage doors.

All our kittens are neutered once they’re of age. Neutering is essential if we are going to have any hope of controlling the stray cat population and preventing even more unwanted kittens from being born into a life on the streets.

Please don’t scroll past. If you can offer one of our kittens a loving home, get in touch. ❤️

Meet Mia & Maya - A little pair who belong together 💕

These sisters have already been through so much together, and now they’re ready for the next chapter of their lives 🏡

🌸 Mia is the more timid and gentle of the two. When they were rescued, Mia immediately wrapped herself around Maya, as if to protect her 🥹 She may be shy at first, but with love and patience, she’ll blossom into a beautiful little companion.

🌼 Maya is the more outgoing, confident one. She is playful, curious and full of personality. Sadly, Maya arrived with a seriously injured leg and was at risk of losing it. Thanks to wonderful foster care, lots of love and veterinary treatment, she has made an amazing recovery ❤️‍🩹

Today both girls are healthy, happy and thriving! ✨

They are:
🐾 Around 9 weeks old
🐾 Deflead & dewormed
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Given their first vaccination
🐾 Playful, cuddly and full of love

Mia & Maya are deeply bonded and we would love to see them adopted together. They have been each other’s comfort and security from the very beginning, and we hope their happily-ever-after can be shared 🥰

If you think you could give these two precious girls the loving forever home they deserve, please get in touch ❤️

✨ Healthy
✨ Flea-treated & dewormed

Meet VIDA 🐾

Vida is a beautiful female Fox Terrier, around 1.5 years old, and her story began in the most heartbreaking way.

We received a report of a dog who had been dumped inside a sack… and that’s how we met Vida.

When she first arrived, Vida was absolutely terrified. She could barely walk a few feet outside her pen without trembling. Everything and everyone was scary, and it was clear that this little girl had been through more than any dog ever should.

But slowly, with lots of patience, human interaction and introductions to other dogs, Vida is beginning to come out of her shell. ❤️

There is still a long way to go. Vida needs time to trust new people, but little by little we are starting to uncover the beautiful personality hiding beneath the layers of fear and trauma.

We named her Vida, meaning life, because this is her second chance at starting a new one. Vida would ideally be homed with another friendly dog of a similar size - someone she can learn from, play with, have zoomies with, and who can help show her that humans can be something to love and trust again.

She needs someone with patience, calmness and love. Someone willing to give her the time she needs to settle, trust and realise that she is finally safe.

Vida has already been let down once. Please don't let her spend her second chance growing up in a shelter.

📩 If you can offer Vida the home she deserves, please message us. Serious adopters only.

🐾 Meet RORY

Rory is a beautiful champagne & white male kitten who was recently adopted, but sadly had to be returned because his adopters had not carefully considered whether they were truly ready and able to take on the responsibility of having a cat.

It has been incredibly unfair for Rory 💔 He had already fallen in love with his new home and his new family, and they loved him too. Having to leave again has been heartbreaking for this sweet little boy. Despite sharing his story, we’ve had zero requests for him 😭

We are now looking for a committed, responsible family who has carefully considered what adopting a cat involves and is ready to give Rory a safe, loving and permanent home.

Rory is:

* Defleaed
* Dewormed
* Vet checked
* Vaccinated
* Microchipped
* Will need to be neutered at the appropriate age
* Is good with kids, other cats & dogs

If you are genuinely interested in adopting Rory, please get in touch. And if you can’t adopt, please share. His forever family could be just one share away. ❤️

Freckles, a deaf fluffy cat, is our latest resident in the cattery. He is just over 1 year, neutered, vaccinated, chipped, deflead and dewormed.

Freckles is looking for a family who understand how to navigate life with a deaf cat. He needs a secure indoor space where he can flourish and enjoy the rest of his life. Freckles is a cuddly boy who always comes up to us for head scratches, and he would make a great companion in a home as the only cat or with another sibling. 🤍

Message us if you’d like to meet Freckles. We do not take requests through comments. Free for adoption.

🌸 HOPE is one of our cat flu survivors. Unfortunately severe cat flu attacks the eyes where a lot of kittens lose one or both eyes. Hope is a fighter, and with the help of our vets and medication she survived and is completely cat flu free.

It’s time for Hope to shine in her forever home. She truly deserves the best. She is fully vaccinated & is ready to join her new home. Hope is around 3 months old, and is very friendly and sweet kitten. She was part of a litter of 4 calicos, who have luckily all been adopted, leaving Hope behind.

Kindly private message if interested in HOPE 🌸
