FEATUREDDelilah (F) HC4512
Age: 21 months

Delilah is slightly more reserved than Lesley. She is quite self contained and enjoys her own company, but as soon as she hears the other cats getting cuddles, she will appear and want to join in. She’s affectionate once she's decided you can be her friend, and she loves the other cats in the house...

Fostering or adoption

Foster homes are always needed for cats, kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs while the charity finds new homes for them. Sometimes our foster homes adopt the animals they are looking after.

Fundraising

We are back this year with some fundraising events after the long gap when Covid meant that these events could not go ahead.

We went to the Ealing Animals Fair on 2^nd March and will next be at the St Margarets Fair on 2^nd July and would love to see some of our supporters there!

Feline Pancytopenia outbreak in UK

The Royal Veterinary College is aware of 443 cats that are known to them based on cases treated at their own hospitals and information provided by some vets in the UK. Of these there was 64% mortality at time of reporting.

Go to our new Feline Pancytopenia page for more news articles, details about symptoms, to check the Food Standards Agency product recall notice, donate to our fundraiser, and for more information about Awen and Maia (ex haws kittens) who both sadly died of this condition recently. Our hearts go to their adopters, foster carer and all others who are affected by this.

RVC update – July 1st 2021

Please neuter your kittens!

One of the key reasons for the huge number of unwanted pets and strays coming to our charity, is that people are not neutering them. Neutering your animals has lots of benefits, both for their health and wellbeing. They are less likely to become problem pets due to territorial issues and/or being allowed to breed.
