Welfare

Elrond (formerly called Murphy) is a deaf pure white Norwegian Forest Cat who was rehomed at the age of 7 to a safe indoor home on the northern edge of the Lake District. He has settled in beautifully and loves his new best buddy, Robert.

Sadly, his previous owners had to take the difficult decision of finding him a new home after he had been with them for five years. Murphy, as he was known then, had started to attack their other elderly cat which he had previously tolerated. They had tried a number of things to remedy the situation but none had worked, and after talking it through with them it was decided the best course of action was to find him a new home where he was the only cat. They brought him to us and then he went by pet courier to his new home in Cumbria.

Sarabi (formerly Jingle Belle Rock, “Ice”) is an eight-year-old blue tortie tabby with white, now happily settled in her new home. She was rehomed when she decided she no longer wanted to get on with the other cat in her household, a five-month-old Maine Coon. Her owners decided they would rather keep the kitten and rehome Ice somewhere quieter. She came to us for a few weeks until she could go to her new home with Richard & Amanda, where she has become good friends with their other cat Gandalf and is very well cared for.

We took in this lovely 7-year-old male neuter silver tabby as the family where he was living could no longer keep him. He was being stressed too much by the presence of two dogs and had started to spray where he shouldn’t and to ambush the dogs. They had tried everything to settle him alongside them and nothing had worked, so they sadly decided it was better all round to find him a new home. He is now off to a new life in Merseyside with Bea.

Kaisia (Tegwel Mair) was rehomed from Somerset to a lovely gentleman, Michael, at the age of 11. Kaisia was being cared for by Jo after both her owners sadly passed away unexpectedly. Jo couldn’t take her in as she had cats of her own, so contacted the Club to see if we could help. We met with Jo half way between Milton Keynes and Taunton and brought Kaisia home. From there Michael’s daughter, who lives in nearby Northampton, kindly transported her to her new home, where she seems very content.

Freya and Loki were rehomed to Michael at six years of age after spending some time with us. They have settled well, enjoy the company of the other cats and are thoroughly spoilt. It was a long, drawn-out process involving Linda and ourselves but we got there in the end — their previous family were relocating to the States and did not want to take them with them. They have brought Michael and Kaisia tremendous companionship.

Morska was rehomed because her family could not handle her behavioural issues any longer. We were told that she could be very difficult and aggressive when being handled in any way, especially when being taken to the vet. She was also not interacting with the family or their other cat in the way they expected. She was brought to us at the age of 5 so we could assess her and find her a good home. She was certainly a very stressed cat. We found her a home with Debbie and her family where she has been given the time and space to come out of her shell — she now interacts with their other cat and her behaviour is slowly improving.
