CAT OF THE MONTH: CHEZZY, BEAUTIFUL MUM OF TWO KITTENS ALSO UP FOR ADOPTION!

Chezzy is mum of two kittens: Billy and Teddy, who are also up for adoption. Chezzy is estimated to be around 1 year old.

Sadly, they were abandoned at a vet’s 😭 and after being checked over have come into our care to find a new loving home.

Chezzy and her kittens: Billy & Teddy (approx. 6 months old) are all very sweet cats. As they were sadly abandoned, we do not know much about their history, but they all seem very affectionate and curious.🥰

If you think you are able to offer Chezzy a loving forever home please enquire by calling us on 01279 501547.

DOG OF THE MONTH: SUGAR, STANDARD AMERICAN BULLDOG.

Sugar is a 5.5 year old gentle giant who loves to play with balls, sunbathe, eat ice cream and play fetch. She also enjoys belly rubs. Sadly she came from another rescue, where she had been in kennels for 2.5 years. ☹️

Sugar loves going for walks and knows some basic commands, such as sit and paw. She is a big girl but walks really well on the lead, although she would need a strong owner just in case she decided to charge. Sugar is very gentle - the bigger the dog, the bigger the heart!🩷

We would love to find Sugar a home where she can feel confident to explore and play, as she so deserves to find the perfect home by now!

If you feel you can take on a large strong girl and give her lots of TLC, then give us a call on: 01279 501547.🥰

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.🥰
