Fifi – HOMED!

Fifi is a friendly female cat, she was brought to us after she was discovered living stray in a garden.  Fifi had no microchip, matted fur and a very sore mouth with severe gingivitis and teeth decay.

Our vets swabbed her mouth and found her to be calicivirus positive, calicivirus is one of the group of cat flu viruses and can causes severe gingivitis.  Fifi needed urgent dental work and had to have 14 teeth removed, leaving her with her four canine teeth and a few incisors. She is recovering well and her mouth is healing and is much more comfortable.

Our vets estimate Fifi to be around 10-11 years old.  Fifi is not keen on other cats and would like to be the only cat in her new home.

Fifi could suit a home with a garden or a spacious indoor home with plenty of human company.

UPDATE 12th APRIL: GOOD NEWS FIFI HAS A NEW HOME!

ADOPTION PROCESS:

Because our cats are rescued we do like to meet potential adopters this can either be at your home (home visit) or via a video call e.g WhatsApp this is an informal visit to provide advice about caring for cats or kittens e.g health care, feeding, settling in and also an opportunity for us to feel reassured that you could provide a good home.

Following a successful home assessment we can make an appointment for you to come and meet our cats.

We are prioritising homes that are local to our centres. Lewisham Branch Homing catchment area: All SE London and BR (Bromley) postcodes. Also N.Kent (Welling, Bexley, Sidcup, Swanley, Dartford), Croydon and SW London (SW8, SW9, SW2, SW11, SW4, SW12, SW16) If you can offer a home to a 'harder to rehome' cat we will consider homes outside our usual rehoming areas.

Our Rescue Centre reception is also open every Saturday and Sunday afternoon between 1p.m and 5p.m for potential adopters to drop in to meet us for an initial chat about adopting one or more of our cats. Our address is 233-235, Lewisham Way SE4 1UY - please bring a donation of cat food to help us feed our rescue cats.
