Patchy is a lovely boy who was brought to us in a bad condition after years of living as a neglected un-neutered stray. He was struggling to breath due to bad flu and his eyes were very sore. Our vets discovered that he has the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).
A course of antibiotics combined with lots of tender loving care has transformed this dear boy. Although he still looks like a grumpy old boy and can sometimes act like it, most of the time he just wants something cosy to sleep upon, a bit of attention - oh, and lots of food!
Both of his eyes had an entropion, a medical condition in which the eyelid folds inward. It is very uncomfortable, as the eyelashes continuously rub against the cornea causing irritation. Our vet team successfully carried out a surgical procedure which now allows both eyes to blink without any irritation and made a huge difference to his quality of life.
He is most likely a life-long flu carrier and will always be a bit sneezy, although a loving home and care may help to reduce this over time; due to him having FIV, it will take longer than normal. It is vitally important that his vaccinations are kept up to date with yearly boosters.
Patchy is really a lovely boy who has stolen the hearts of our team. He is a very quiet boy who just needs a home where he can thrive and show of more of his wonderful personality.

Our cats are rescues, that have either been abandoned, stray, neglected or abused. All homes need to have a home check either by video call or in person and we will provide advice about caring for cats or kittens. This is also a chance for us to see what type of home you can offer to one of our cats and to best match a cat with your home and family.
Following a successful home visit, we will make an appointment for you to come and meet the cats at the shelter and adopt. If you have picked cat/s from the website, you will meet them on adoption day.
We are prioritising homes that are local to our centre and these are the Canning Town catchment areas: East London, parts of North London and parts of West Essex.
If you can offer a home to a harder to home cat, we will consider a home outside these areas.
