Worn Whiskers Retreat

Worn Whiskers Retreat I run a self-funded forever home for cats with life-limiting illness/disabilities.

With my vets’ help, I nurse them back to health and care for them for life.🐱😽😻

When you’ve got chores to do… but Fudge insists he’s already got it covered! 🧹✨ Our handsome senior ginger gentleman decided the Henry Hoover was the perfect spot to supervise today’s cleaning duties.

Even the daily chores come with a side of cat comedy (and we wouldn’t have it any other way 💛).

Does your cat like to “help” with the housework too? 😹

🚗🐾 Vet road trip for Rum, Chey & Pudding!

📸 First up, Rum and his very protective brother Reuben – who was clinging on as if to say “Wait, what? Vet AGAIN? Nope, he’s not going.” (Excuse Rum’s sleepy eyes – I’d just woken him to head off to our appointment 🙈). His corneal ulcer is now 99% clear 🎉 Just one more week of drops and hopefully we’ll be all done – yay Rum! 💚 (spot his very fetching Kermit-green eye stain courtesy of the fluorescein dye in his after pic).

😿 Next was Pudding, all 5kg of her, looking rather sorry for herself with a gingivitis flare-up. She had an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory jab and is already back home in her favourite eating spot overlooking the garden… and of course, back to bossing the others around like nothing ever happened. 👑

🐱 And Chey – who was feeling very 😕 before her visit – has some inflammation in her inner ear. She’s on steroids now and wolfed down her dinner when we got home, so she’s feeling much brighter too.

Multiple-passenger vet trips are always a bit of a juggle, but I’m so proud of how patient they all were 💕

Back home safe, snuggled, and on the mend - phew.

Captain had naptime nailed – his one eye on the world, the rest of him snuggled under the blanket! 💙 He may be gone (can’t believe it’s 18 months already!), but he’s never forgotten, and his gentle spirit still warms our hearts every day.

What’s your cat’s absolute favourite sleeping spot? Under the covers? On your pillow? Or somewhere completely unexpected? 🐾✨

The evening meds queue is now open… please form an orderly line! 😹💊

It always amazes me how the cats on long-term meds just know. They come forward like little pros, waiting patiently for their turn, while the others don’t even bother – as if they know it’s “not their department.” Honestly, they’ve got this routine nailed better than most humans at a GP surgery!

And then there’s Maisie… who thinks she can dodge her Laxapet. Nice try, madam! The only way she’ll take it is if I pop it on her paw, so she has no choice but to clean it off. A little trick for any fellow cat parents with a fussy one. 🐾

Life here isn’t just cuddles and playtime – it’s a lot of behind-the-scenes care, and these little rituals are what keep everyone healthy and happy. 💕

Just look at those magnificent whiskers! 😻 Jerry, you really are such a handsome gentleman 💙

Breakfast update from our sweet boy, Emmett 💙🐾

He hasn’t been feeling too good recently – with his URI flaring up it can leave him dehydrated, so I have to keep a special eye on him. On top of that, he has CH and renal issues… but this morning he tucked right into his breakfast. Just look at that satisfied little face once he’s finished almost every last bite! 🥰

True to Emmett style, he starts his meals standing at a raised bowl, then halfway through throws himself onto his bed so I can hold the bowl for him to carry on – such a cutie. Despite all his challenges, he really is the happiest, friendliest little wobbler. 💕

I talk to him every day about his late sister Violet. We miss her so much – the likeness between them is both sad and strangely comforting. Our beautiful pair, together in spirit. 🌸💔
