CAFO Rescue

Sometimes a cat comes along at exactly the right time. ❤️

Beautiful boy Sura recently went to a foster home with a view to adopt. His new owner, Jen, adopted from us last year, but sadly her older cat recently passed away.

Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking, and the grief can stay with us for a very long time. Often, when we think about welcoming another animal into our lives, it can feel as though we're somehow replacing the one we've lost. But that's never the case.

Jen's younger cat, Pigwidgeon, was missing the companionship she had always known. Putting Pigwidgeon's needs first, Jen bravely decided to foster Sura and see if they would be a good match.

As expected, there were a few days of hissing from Pigwidgeon, but that was about it! Sura is such a friendly, loving and placid boy that we had a feeling he'd soon win her over.

And he certainly has. 🥰

The photos say it all. Sura hasn't replaced the cat that was lost and dearly loved. Instead, he has helped to heal two broken hearts. In return, Pigwidgeon has given Sura a wonderful home filled with love.

We couldn't be happier for them all and wish them many happy years together. ❤️

Happy Father's Day to all the cat dads on here

💜 A massive thank you to Alsager Animals In Need for kindly donating the liver supplements after the heartbreaking loss of their long-term cat who sadly passed away. Our thoughts are with everyone involved. 🌈🐾
We would also like to thank Sandra Edwards for collecting them, Julie Berry for supplying additional supplements to help Bella, and Tracy Eastham for kindly dropping them off to us.
We really can't thank you all enough for your kindness, generosity, and support. It means so much to our rescue and to Bella. If we can ever return the favour, please don't hesitate to ask.
Please keep Bella in your thoughts as we wait for her next blood tests in three weeks' time. We are all hoping and praying for much better results and that this special little girl continues to fight and improve. ❤️🐱
Thank you all once again for being part of Bella's journey.

Poor little Bella went to the vets today for her spay, vaccinations and microchip. Thankfully her SNAP/FIV-FELV test was negative, which was good news

Bella is only around 6–9 months old, so we were expecting a routine day. Sadly, we received a phone call from the vets to say she wasn't recovering from the anaesthetic as they would normally expect and was still very lethargic and wobbly several hours later.

As a precaution, the vets decided to run blood tests, but unfortunately her blood results showed some concerning liver readings.

Bella has now been allowed home where she can rest, be monitored closely and hopefully recover well over the next few weeks. When she returns for her second vaccination, her bloods will be rechecked and we are all hoping to see a big improvement.

We are keeping everything crossed for this sweet girl and would really appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers for Bella. ❤️

Also, if anybody happens to have an unused liver supplement suitable for cats sitting in a cupboard that they no longer need, we would be incredibly grateful. We have ordered some, but it is unlikely to arrive until next week.

Come on Bella, we're all rooting for you. 🐾❤️

A massive thank you to Trish brooks, Sarah king for the cash donation and Rachel elvy for the amazing outdoor cat shelter. This is great for our semi feral girl Suzie who likes to play in the fields and come back in the house when she wants. Also any other strays that turn up. ❤️🐈‍⬛
