*Found cat*

This lovely little cat was handed in to us when found lying on the side of the road. Thankfully uninjured but very underweight and in need of some TLC.

Is anyone missing a cat from the Bulmer area? If you think this is your cat or you know this cat please contact us as we would very much like to get them back home! 🐈‍⬛🏡

Please let us introduce you to the gorgeous Tiger Lily who came in to us very, very poorly and was just a couple of weeks old. But huge thanks to Carmen (our Super Vet) and Jess (our Super Vet Nurse) who day and night nursed her 24/7 and now at 5 weeks old here she is . . . ☘🥰 ###

*** GREAT NEWS, A FANTASTIC NEW HOME HAS BEEN FOUND ***
Thank you everyone for sharing.
We are looking for a very special home for this gorgeous, affectionate elderly lady (approx 20 - 22 years), with no health issues, whose owner very sadly passed away. Has lived with another cat but does not get on with dogs. She goes in the garden but is deaf and would not suit a home being near a road. Potential homes will be vetted. Please call Linkswood on 01787 389248, many thanks.

Back in august one of our wonderful nurses, Debbie kindly took in a litter of five, 1 day old kittens that had been found dumped in a carrier near a train depot. Unfortunately due to being dumped at such a young age, three of the kittens did not survive despite Debbie’s best efforts.

Miraculously two of the kittens did pull through and when old enough they were rehomed together, where they are very loved and totally spoilt! Meet Presley and Priscilla 😍 we saw them back in recently for vaccinations, microchipping and neutering. Thank you Debbie for your hard work, dedication and many sleep deprived nights giving these beautiful kittens a chance at life. 🥰

We have very sadly had a deceased grey and ginger tabby, male cat who is microchipped brought in to us. If you are or may know of the owner please let us know. Many thanks.
