Our Permanent Foster Cats

17 year-old gorgeous calico princess who came into our care after her adoring owner was sadly admitted to hospital. AJ has never been particularly fond of other animals or people. She is now very settled in her permanent foster home, where she is deeply loved and cared for, she happily accepts cuddles and tummy tickles.

A very handsome 14 year-old black male who was found as a stray by a kind member of the public. Despite efforts to locate his owner, sadly no one came forward. Minnie was extremely underweight and following a vet check we discovered he was suffering from thyroid disease. Unfortunately, medication made very little difference so on veterinary advice Minnie underwent a thyroidectomy. When his condition still failed to improve, further investigations revealed the presence of ectopic thyroid tissue in his chest, a rare developmental defect. Due to Minnie’s age, overall health and the location of the tissue (which would require highly invasive open chest surgery), the vet felt that further surgery would be far too risky. Minnie is now back on lifelong medication, with the dosage adjusted, and requires regular blood tests to ensure he stays stable. He is absolutely adored by his foster mum who spoils him rotten just as he deserves.

18 year-old super handsome black male who was sadly abandoned by his owners when they relocated. Kind neighbours fed him for some time before eventually bringing him to the vet in the hope of finding a solution for him. Frankie was found to have a severe facial abscess, which sadly developed into FORLs – a painful dental disease that causes the teeth to break down, leading to neurological damage. In addition, Frankie also suffers from early-stage kidney failure and heart disease. Despite everything, Frankie remains a very happy boy. All of his conditions are currently well managed with medication, fluids when needed and a special diet. As he is no longer able to groom himself properly, his amazing foster mum gives him soothing baths to keep him comfortable and clean. Frankie enjoys sun bathing in the secure back garden on warm days and loves nothing more than drinking water from the faucet (sink or shower!) and from his water fountain. We are so glad you’re here with us little guy!

9 year-old black beauty who sadly came into our care after her loving owner became unwell and had to move into a care home. Following a vet check, we discovered that Jess suffers from herpes and chlamydia in both eyes – conditions that are extremely contagious to other cats. This is most likely the result of an untreated infection that had been present for a long time. Jess is now on lifelong medication and supplements. Her condition has improved significantly but it cannot be cured and should she experience any flare ups, we will always be there to provide immediate medical care. Jess adores sunbathing on her cat-proofed balcony and thoroughly enjoys being the centre of attention.

14 year-old tortie delight who was sadly neglected by her owner to the brink of death. When she came into our care she was emaciated, severely infested with fleas, had lost most of her fur and we learnt she was deaf. Physically, Charlotte has improved tremendously but her skin issues have remained. Despite trying every possible treatment to keep her comfortable, the only things that prevent her from tearing at her skin and causing herself to bleed are regular steroid injections and a special diet. Emotionally, it took her a long time to learn to trust people again but today she is absolutely loving life, enjoying the care and kindness she so truly deserves.
