KITTEN SEASON - HELP!!!!! We are inundated with young families!

JUNE 09:KITTEN SEASON: LITTERS OF KITTENS CONTINUE TO ARRIVE COMPLETE WITH MUM AND OFTEN DAD AND AUNTS AND UNCLES TOO.

ALL OUR CENTRES HAVE SEVERAL YOUNG FAMILIES IN THEIR CARE AND TODAY ANOTHER FOUR YOUNG LITTERS WERE BROUGHT INTO OUR LONDON CLINICS.

LOOKING TO ADOPT KITTENS? CAN YOU HELP? HOMES WHO CAN CARE FOR A WHOLE FAMILY, KEEPING MUM AND A KITTEN OR TWO PERMENENTLY AND CARING FOR THE EXTRAS UNTIL WE CAN REHOME THEM WHEN THEY ARE WEANED AT 8-9 WEEKS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED.

SHORT TERM FOSTER HOMES LOCAL TO EACH BRANCH WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED.

A SPECIAL APPEAL FOR BLACK AND BLACK & WHITE CATS WHO ARE NORMALLY OVERLOOKED

All our shelters always have many black and black and white cats looking for new homes.

We are asking all potential adopters not to overlook cats just because they are black or black and white and, if needed, to try and see through the cats initial nervous nature - many have had their worlds turned upside down, losing their homes, often through no fault of their own. Some have beeen cruelly treated and of course they will take time and human effort to learn trust again - they just need to be given the chance.

Please see our 'Animals for Homing' pages or call our centres for more information.

CATS AND CHILDREN
We are often asked about our policy on homing cats with children. We think that it is very important for children to grow up with pets and do home cats into family homes all the time. Unfortunately, due to some cats nervous nature (mostly caused by humans) we do not always have the perfect cats for family homes. The RIGHT cats for families are the very friendly and bold cats - these are the ones who tend to be lucky enough to find homes fairly quickly so are not often featured on our website.

URGENT appeal for help with dogs

Recently we have seen an increase in dogs being abandoned at both of our London veterinary clinics and some at our Hastings Sanctuary. Most are the bull type breeds, staffordshire terriers and the larger 'status' dogs

The facilities at our clinics are not ideal for caring for dogs whilst awaiting new homes.
We have lots of rescued cats at each clinic and the combination of dogs and cats is not always harmonious.

Permanent new homes are, of course, needed for these dogs but foster homes and help with dog walking would also be much appreciated.
