Happy Tales
August 23rd
Six of our lovely cats have been rehomed over the last two days to excellent homes. Sad for us, wonderful for them and good for other poor abandoned souls as there is now some room for us to take them.
June 1st
Paris the sweet deaf cat has finally found a safe home with the same lovely neighbour who took Tabitha the blind cat. He was obsessed with roads but is now living in a house away from roads and set round a courtyard so he cannot get out. He could not be in a more suitable environment .
May 4th
Another two of our twelve rescued cats called Lucy and Blackie have been rehomed, they have just gone to a lovely family living on the water at Delquay outside Chichester they think they have gone to heaven!
Tabitha our lovely blind cat who was so difficult to find a home for and who was so lonely after her sister Tatiana died last summer of leg cancer has also landed on her feet. A kind neighbour has taken her on and she has absolutely blossomed with all the attention and kindness she is being given. Her confidence has grown and she has started to explore the whole house. She has even started talking and is having pleasant conversations with her new owners!
April 11th
After de-matting with mini clippers, de-fleaing, de-worming and de-earmite-ing two of the new cats called Basil and Smokey have both gone to a wonderful new home at Duncton in Sussex with a very kind lady owner. Their new abode is well set back from the road, and there are lovely rolling fields behind, so after sharing their terraced house with 30 other cats in the built up town of Crawley they think they have gone to cats' paradise!

Arthur really, really doesn't think he's a cat. He is convinced he is really a person, just smaller. He shows utmost disdain, and sometimes manic aggression, towards other felines.
At the sanctuary Arthur spent most of his day glaring upwards at the adjacent cattery roof where little charming, shy Sukitoo relaxed out of sight of all but Arthur. He was even been known to climb the wire-mesh wall (in true Garfield fashion) to try to get closer.
Contrariwise, he is an absolute dear towards people. He loves cuddles and attention. He now lives with the sanctuary's longest standing volunteer (and web-site designer!) and her daughter. He is learning how to be a house cat, and is simply adored. He has the most extraordinary purr and is an utter delight. |

Happy Endings
A Rehoming Story
|
Troy and Jacko came to us in a pretty sorry state. As you can see from these photographs, he had dreadful sores and was very sorry for himself. Following much TLC, his skin cleared up and when he was well he and his chum Jacko were rehomed to somewhere sourced by the Donkey Sanctuary. |

The great news is that once they were in their new home near Southend they settled in very quickly and continued to thrive. Their new owner, Debbie, decided that it was time for the donkeys to have a bit of an explore and put head collars and leads on them to take them for a walk. There was a slight problem - having had different homes (and poor treatment) prior to coming to us - the sensible beasts decided that actually they liked where they were, they had no intention of leaving thank you very much, and they refused to come out of their field! |
Free-range hens with hardly a feather between them...
These rescued chickens didn't look as though they had enough feathers to keep them warm through the winter, but amazingly they flourished and are now healthy and happy. They are very friendly little souls, and flock to the boundary of their run to see who is going past!
Did you know that you can have 1,000 chickens per acre of land and still call them free-range? ...
If the photographs above are the 'before', then here is the 'after', a fully-fledged chicken, hardly recognisable as having been one of the featherless scraps in the pictures above.
