Adoption Update: Mercury 🐾

We absolutely loved receiving this lovely update Mercury, who is now happily settling into her new home.

Mercury has well and truly made herself at home. She's a playful, confident and affectionate character who loves a good chat, making air biscuits and zooming around the house!

She's also found a few favourite things, including her ball on a rope and a cardboard box she's claimed as her own. And she certainly doesn't like eating alone, insisting that her food bowl is placed wherever her human happens to be 🥰

Her forever family say they couldn't imagine life without her, and we think it's safe to say Mercury has found her pawfect match 💙

A little look at the difference we've made together this month🐾

From welcoming new faces into our care to providing support where it's needed most, there's been lots happening behind the scenes.

None of it would be possible without our amazing supporters, volunteers, donors and adopters. Thank you for being part of it and helping us transform so many lives 💙

Bonfire Night is just around the corner 🎆

With fireworks set to light up the skies, we know this can be a worrying time for our four-legged friends.

One simple way to help create a calmer environment at home is to put on some soothing music and keep the radio playing.

We've found two radio stations bringing you Pet Classics to help keep your home peaceful and your pets feeling a little more relaxed this Bonfire Night:

🎵 BBC Radio 3 – https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024g0h

🎵 Classic FM – https://www.classicfm.com/radio/shows-presenters/pet-classics/

Alongside keeping the music on, remember to create a cosy safe space for your pet, close curtains and windows, and give them plenty of reassurance 🐶🐱

Happy Black Cat Day! We’re celebrating here as we love our house panthers, and thought we would share Shuri’s story – a kitten with full-on black cat attitude!

Despite weighing in at just 350 grams, Shuri was the loudest voice in the cattery when she came in! She was found aged about 4 weeks, alone in a shed and covered in fleas. We started her on 4-bottles of feed a day to bring up her weight and found a foster home for her so she could get all the attention she was miaowing for! She enjoys cuddles and playing ‘hide and pounce’.

We are in the process of matching her to a home, and she will no doubt be adopted before Halloween…

🎆 Bonfire night is nearly and while we might love the fireworks, our four-legged friends aren't always quite so keen! 💥🐶🐱

The loud bangs and flashing lights can be frightening for pets, but a little preparation can make a difference.

Here are some simple ways to help your pets feel safe and settled:

BEFORE THE FIREWORKS
✨ Create a cosy den or quiet hiding place with familiar smells, such as a blanket or an item of your clothing.
🧸 Keep dogs occupied with favourite toys, special chews or a stuffed Kong.
🌿 Consider a pheromone diffuser a few days beforehand.
💊 If your pet struggles with fireworks anxiety, speak to your vet in advance.

ON BONFIRE NIGHT
🚶 Walk dogs early, before the fireworks start.
🐱 Keep cats safely indoors, with a litter tray and plenty of places to hide.
🏡 Stay home if possible as having you nearby can be a real comfort.
🎬 Close curtains, put the TV or some soothing music on and create a calm environment.

Most importantly, let your pets hide if they need to, offer reassurance and never force them to face their fears.

A little extra love and preparation can make all the difference. Let's make Bonfire Night a little less frightening for every paw and whisker! 💙
