☀️🐾 Keep Your Cats Cool This Summer! 🐱💦

Hot weather isn’t just tough on us — our feline friends feel it too! 😿 Cats can overheat quickly, especially on those scorching summer days, so it's super important to help them stay cool and hydrated.

Check out this adorable video of our kittens beating the heat with a tray of water and some floating toy fish! 🐟💧 Not only is it a fun way to play, it’s also a great way to help them chill out when the temperature rises.

✅ Tips to keep your cat cool:
🔹 Keeping their water bowl topped up with fresh water
🔹 Making sure they have access to water outside, too
🔹 Encouraging them indoors during the hottest parts of the day
🔹 Use fans or cooling mats
🔹 Create shady hideouts
🔹 Encourage gentle water play (if they’re into it!)

Let’s keep our cats safe and comfy this summer. Stay cool, stay pawsitive! 😸🌊

She’s been overlooked so far, and we can’t figure out why. Pebbles is sweet, social, and ready to fill someone’s life with love, laughter, and the occasional sneak attack on your toes. 🧶💕

🐾 Vick’s Curious Corner 🐾

"Excuse me... what are you up to today?" 😺
Our dear Vick is being a bit of a nosey neighbour this afternoon — peeking out from his favourite perch, watching the world go by, and wondering what everyone’s plans are.

He’s hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone’s plans include falling in love with a charming, inquisitive little cat like him. 💛

Vick is full of personality, always keen to see what’s going on, and would love a forever home where he can keep you company (and keep an eye on things 👀).

If you think your day could use a little more Vick in it, please visit his online profile: https://www.cats.org.uk/ferndown -48694

Let’s help this nosey boy find the loving home he’s been waiting for. 🏡🐱
