Willow is looking for a special home
Willow is 8, neutered and healthy. She is in our care because her last owner passed away. She is loving but has a tenancy to nip. She would rather be the only pet in the house. Please message me if you are interested. Tabby.cat@blueyonder.co.uk
Three gorgeous kittens looking for a home !
These three kits are looking for new homes, they are about 9 weeks old and full of beans ! All potential new homes are home checked and we ask for a donation towards our rescue work, We will be prepared to travel for the right home.
Saved lives, which might so easily have been lost forever.
Well two days ago, I saw a post on RHU asking for help with an FIV+ 18month old ginger friendly boy, Jasper. Breaks your heart when you read that the vet with whom he was being cared for was about to euthenaise him because he was a stray. So, I called all my contacts, and finally found a lady running a small independant sanctuary in Gloucester already housing FIV cats who was willing to offer him a forever home – success!
Today, same thing, two separate cases at the SAME vets, an elderly black girl with thyroid probs, so friendly, and a white boy with dental probs, again friendly and loving – both threatened with PTS – so again I called all my long suffering contacts and finally came up – through one of them – with a sanctuary place for them both – at Holsworthy in Devon.
It breaks my heart to see this reaccurrrance of vet practices so willing to euthenaise cats because they are taking up space – they need only do what I did – make a few calls – but I guess because I have been doing it for so long that I have made some fantastic contacts – and I am always so so thankful when one of them can help.
SAVED!
Managed to save the life and find a home for an 18 month old cat yesterday.
He is FIV+ and the vets were wanting to euthanase him because he was a stray – an appeal went out, and I managed to secure him a loving home with a lady in Gloucestershire who takes in FIV cats.
It is a criminal waste to put an ostensibly healthy 18 month lovely friendly cat down.
Hello and Welcome to Feline Network
About me… and what we do ….
I have been involved with cat rescue in one way or another for over 25 years. I have fostered, trapped, homed, cared for, nursed, fundraised, home checked and numerous other needed tasks!
I decided to start up this small group for two reasons, firstly to rescue, care for and find new homes for cats and kittens within the South Devon area. To this end, we have a need for fosterers, fundraisers, drivers, and no end of other people to assist.
The other aspect of the work we do is networking, ie being in contact with groups all over the UK to endeaveour to find homes for needy cats – usually ferals – with special needs, on death row or in some kind of danger. To date, I have found homes for three ferals in Chgeshire, saved an 18 month old ginger cat from PTS in Wiltshire, and rehomed several kittens from London, who were about to be bulldozed out of their homes for the Olympic effort.
We always need helpers, so do feel free to offer a hand. I shall use this blod to document the cats in care, and their progress, events and publicity events, and other supplimental items!
Happy reading !
