July 16, 2024 – Zoe's Ark

Our gorgeous boy Milo came in with his brother and sister back in January 2024, they were our first arrivals of the year and came to us through absolutely no fault of their own.

The trio was signed over to us due to a really unfortunate change of circumstances where if they stayed they probably would have ended up unhappy. Their original owner understood this and decided to do what she felt was most fair on them.

Milo, Jake & Bella were an absolute pleasure to look after. Milo was with us the shortest, his confidence was definitely there which made us happy enough that he could go on his own adventure to a home with another cat as he loved everyone.

Whilst in our care it came to our attention that Milo would often limp and we couldn't understand why, a vet trip + x-ray later it came out Milo had something called a 'Luxating Patella' which is an issue more commonly found within the canine species. However after a quick and successful surgery Milo was able to go up for adoption.

He was soon snapped up by a lovely lady all the way down near London who fell in love with him the moment she saw him and off we set on the 16th April 2024 once we got the all clear from the vets to take him to his new furrrever home where he had a new brother waiting for him.

Here is what they had to say about Milo after 1 month:-

Milo is honestly such a lovely cat! Absolutely loving being around the kids isn’t fussed in the slightest being around them. Him and teddy get along like a house on fire. Chase each other around and love having fun. Milo do loves his sleep and loves the kids bed to sleep in - the top bed bunk in fact!🤣 truly loves a cuddle and a stroke on his belly. He’s a treasure. Thankyou Zoe ❤️

Here is lovely Milos 3 month update:-

Honestly he’s actually a delight to have around the house. He’s so peaceful and just loves to eat sleep and repeat 🤣. Loves being around the kids and isn’t fussed at all. I’m glad you knew the exact cat for us to have that fitted around our house hold. I love him so much 🥰

Mabel came to us all the way back in November 2023 after being found taking residency in a gentleman's shed out of the cold. She was checked over by a vet who then told us about her heart murmur along with suspected hyperthyroidism as she was quite an elderly lady with an age estimate of around 12. As well as this Mabel was also severely dehydrated, skinny & malnourished which we spent weeks slowly building her weight back up so we didn't over-power her. We at the rescue understood rehoming Mabel wasn't going to be easy as a special type of home and person understanding of her needs was needed.

That's where we found the kindest girl, with a heart of gold who specifically wanted an elderly or special needs cat, so we introduced her to Mabel and she fell in love. A few weeks later once the vets were happy Mabel was able to go to her new home on the 16th of January 2024, it was lovely to see this elderly girl find her happy ever after.

Unfortunately after a happy couple of weeks, Mabel started to rapidly loose weight again, despite being fed more then ever to try and keep it on. Medication was issued, this too didn't do much either, eventually her breathing to started going and between the heart murmer & her hyperthyroidism (which had been diagnosed at this point) the kindest thing was too let her go and she was taken to the vets where her new owner was with her and she passed away peacefully on the 6th of March 2024.

Though Mabel's happy ever after wasn't years, we are so glad and happy and thankful that from her being rescued in November till her passing in March she was able to experience at least a few months of care, love and happiness, where she was warm, had regular meals and was safe + comfortable. We are thankful to the kind lady who adopted her giving her that chance and for always doing right by her. R.I.P Queen Mabel.
