Willow's kittens have now been named; we put all the names in the mix that we received and we have:-

3 x white kittens: Dot (the smallest), Bandit (biggest) and Hopper.
1 x black kitten: Wednesday
1 x tortie kitten: Pluto
2 x tabbie kittens: Maple and Moss

Well done Kay, Chris Day and Hayley Ashford-Smith for picking the winning names😻

They are currently 5 weeks old but won't be available for rehoming until they reach 8 weeks old.
They will be microchipped, have worm and flea treatment and will be neutered at approx. 20 weeks old (depending on weight).

All kittens are to be rehomed in pairs with the single one being rehomed with mummy bear.🥰

If you are interesting in adopting two of these beautiful kittens, please give us a call on 01279 501547 or email us on: [email protected] to arrange an appointment.

WE ARE OVER THE MOON TO ANNOUNCE THAT DAVE AND WHISKAS HAVE FINALLY LEFT THE BUILDING!😁

Dave and Whiskas have gone to live together and will live out the rest of their days as beloved farm cats.

As some of you may know Dave had been with us for 669 days and Whiskas 567 days, waiting for the "right" forever farm home.

Yes there has been some interest for them in that time, but some people weren't willing or able to keep them in for a set period of time, in order for them to settle in, as well as understand that they would still need to be fed and cared for.

Finally, we got a call from a lovely couple who could provide them with the perfect home and what they both needed . They met both cats and fell in love straight away! After a homecheck and further visits to see the cats, they were soon on their way😍

The adopters sent us a fabulous update saying "We were watching them on the cameras while they were exploring. Dr Whiskas was out of his cage within 30mins, but Dave was longer. Then it took about four hours for them to really get exploring. Dave was checking exits, while Dr Whiskas visited all the rooms and ate dinner. They got on much better than I expected for day 1".

We wish them both a long and happy life together in their new forever home. We can't wait to have more updates and pictures on how they have settled in.

If you are interested in adopting a cat - we have lots to choose from, so check out our website to find your Best Friend.🥰

It's that time of the season when young cubs are exploring beyond their dens without their watchful mothers. They are vulnerable near roads. Let's drive with heightened care and attention to safeguard these inquisitive little ones. 🦊
