Toby – Rehomed

Posted in Animals Rehomed, Branch News and Updates | Comments Off

toby-cat Toby, a domestic short haired kitty who is thought to be about 3 years of age, came to the branch from one of our local veterinary surgeons.  He was found as an injured stray by a kind lady who thought he had badly injured his leg and took him to the surgery to be scanned for a microchip and his leg repaired.

However, following examination, it was found that he has a club foot and will always limp and be unable to climb or escape from dangerous situations easily.  He will be fine as an indoor cat or one which is allowed into a secure garden for a short while.

He is now changing every day.  At first he hid away from his fosterer for a few days and now he is coming out of his shell and becoming more confident. He has settled down and is becoming a loving little cat who will make a great addition to any family.

He has now recovered from his operation and has moved into Bowler’s Cattery where he will be able to meet more potential adopters.

He will receive his second vaccinations on Wednesday 11th April and will then go to the Bowler’s cattery where he can be seen by more people and perhaps someone will offer him a loving home.

UPDATE – She has been found to be pregnant and is being taken to one of our brilliant volunteer fosterers where, unless she is claimed in the next week, she will have her kittens and all will be found new homes.

Kosi update

Posted in Branch News and Updates, Success Stories | Comments Off
kosi-compare We’ve had an update from one of our Malamute x puppy adopters and they’ve sent some lovely photos.

They say, “He’s an absolute star, although taking him for walks takes ages as we’re always being stopped by other dog walkers, wanting to know everything about him.  His big sister Lelia is finally accepting his presence, although it took her a couple of weeks.

Thanks again, for your help, but more importantly, thanks to you and all the other volunteers for all the effort and kindness you showed to our puppy. I know he didn’t have the greatest start in life, but with your help, Kosi is turning into a very handsome and healthy young chap.”

Wonky – Rehomed

Posted in Animals Rehomed, Branch News and Updates | Comments Off
bty Wonky is a 5 year old Collie who has come into our care through no fault of his own.   This young man just loves to be with people and is good with other dogs.   He does pull a little on the lead but enjoys a good walk.

He is not particularly ball orientated but he has only just come in so we are hoping his playful side will soon come out.
