Homeless Cats 10/09/17
The latest Homeless Cats 10/09/17 are a selection of males and females.
They have all been spayed and are waiting to be adopted. As you can see, from the photographs below, these are all adorable cats. The photographs have kindly been taken for Cath by Ian Grundy.
If you can home any of them please contact Cath directly.
All the cats that are re-homed are vet checked, neutered, wormed and given flea treatment. The new owners are encouraged to get the cats microchipped for their own safety.The costs involved in getting a cat ready for re-homing are therefore high and all donations are very gratefully received.

The Abandoned Cats Rescued From A House
Tilly
Tilly is an adorable, friendly and loving little cat. She has been diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) which means that ideally she should be an only cat so as not to pass it on. The risk of passing FIV on is greatest in un-neutered, feral tom cats because they fight. A docile pet cat should be fine. She is going to be re-tested soon just to confirm or not.
Cats with FIV live ‘normal’ lives and can reach a grand old age. There is a risk that they can become poorly because their immune system can be weaker. But any illness they succumb to is usually treatable though, just like any other cat.
Ideally Tilly needs a special home with someone who will assess the risk to herself and any other cats, possibly keeping her away from other cats as much as possible. Her new owner must also be alert to any early signs of illness. Tilly will need to see her vet straight away if there are any concerns. This is the same for any cat though.
Sadly cats like Tilly get overlooked in rescue shelters because there are myths and confusion about cats with FIV. The website catchat.org has a great page all about FIV that should help dispel peoples’ concerns.
She deserves a chance of a loving home and to make someone happy with her love.
