Tiddles – PERMANENTLY FOSTERED.

Tiddles is a huge, friendly older male cat.  Tiddles has been living stray for months occasionally being sighted seeking food in a rural location in Kent.  The people living there have some of our adopted feral cats and Tiddles was attracted by the source of cat food.  They eventually got hold him where upon it turned out that he is actually very friendly.  Tiddles has very matted fur on his chest and is underweight for his size, he really is a very big cat, possibly part Maine Coon.  He was unfortunately not microchipped although he was already neutered.

Our vets are going to groom out his matted fur and run some blood tests to check his general health as well as microchipping him before Tiddles will be ready for a new home.  He is a very laid back cat who seems fine with other cats.

UPDATE 25th FEB: Blood tests have revealed some abnormal liver results. Tiddles is being treated with antibiotics and some medication to support his liver and his blood tests will be repeated in 3 weeks time.

UPDATE 3rd APRIL: Tiddles unfortunately does have some serious issues with his liver, one of our vets has taken him in on a foster basis.

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.
