ADOPTION READY - MITTENS

We are quite frankly baffled as to why Mittens is still here. She’s young, she’s gorgeous, she’s super friendly and loves everyone that she meets! And yet, here she still is. She pops her little head up out of bed every morning, ready for affection (and maybe breakfast). And if you even put a hand to the latch to enter her pen, she’s practically on her tippy-toes with anticipation of getting some love and attention.

She is not only a sweetie, she’s still full of kitten joy and playfulness! She loves toys - especially anything crinkly or attached to a wand to chase. She also has the fun trait that she will randomly act like she's seeing ghosts, doing little skippity hops with her feet without going anywhere, and then boom she's off like a rocket into full zoomies!

THE PRACTICAL BITS:
• Just 8 months old
• Neutered
• Microchipped
• Fully vaccinated
• 4 weeks free insurance

HOME PREFERENCES:
• Really not fussy. Got a roof? She’s in.
• Happy to live with others with proper, formal and slow introductions.
• Would appreciate outdoor access when fully settled (4 weeks minimum as indoor only)

Want to offer Mittens her dream home? Please TEXT or WHATSAPP Karen 07598 752992 or Nikki 07591 741326.

- Callie Update -

Littlest Callie, our liver shunt kitten, is having a rather rough time. She had been doing so well that she went to another foster, who she loved, to wait to be big enough for surgery but sadly she's needed to come back to foster with me again. Her health sadly took a downward turn and it's been a fight to stabilise her. She'd been eating well, and all the right foods, but she just couldn't gain weight. She started losing her appetite, needing support feeding and getting very tired all too easily. Worst of all - her seizures then returned.

She's had an increase in her regular meds and our wonderful vets added in some new ones to help keep seizures at bay. We don't know if it will be enough but there is definitely a little hope that we can hold on to. We hope that it will give her relief, give her a chance to gain weight and get back on track! 🤞

In the meantime, Callie gets as much love and care as I can give her, and also the treat of a morning in the sunshine. I took her out in her favourite donut bed so she could just rest and breathe in the fresh air if she wanted to. But she soon began to explore the garden, purring happily whenever I spoke to her. She nibbled at grass, played with flowers, and watched butterflies passing by. She is unfailingly the happiest kitten I've ever met in spite of everything. She is pure sunshine in feline form and I feel very privileged to be her foster - no matter what happens next 🩷

Remember Flower and Florin? Their kittens are doing amazing and starting to scamper about on wobbly legs to get into mischief. Their fosterer says the little family are absolutely "delicious" and everyone is doing great 💕

Not every day goes according to plan! We definitely didn't plan to have a litter of criminals manage a jail break and throw our morning into disarray.

Four kittens decided things were a bit dull, and it was much more fun to give us the runaround. The two girls didn't get too far thankfully, and soon popped their curious heads up from under the sink unit and got snagged pretty quickly by hand. The boys, however....they found a tiny gap behind a unit and it led to the pipes behind the wall. What fun!

We tried a lot of tactics but in the end we had to set traps, baited with nice smelly fish, and wait. Once it was quiet their bellies betrayed them and out they crept. One kitten caught! The other - trap fail. He managed to steal the food and scarper scot-free. 😅 The first trap was deployed again and hours later, we finally got the miniature Artful Dodger!

All safe, sound, and thoroughly ungrateful for it 💜
