**Pic For Attention**

✨Hey everyone - just wanting to address our reasoning for why we don’t reserve kittens ✨

We receive countless messages about specific kittens — and our fluffy babies, in particular, seem to attract a lot of attention! 🥹❤️

We completely understand falling in love with a kitten from a photo. They’re adorable, and it’s natural to have your heart set on one. But there are a couple of important reasons why we don’t simply reserve kittens for the first person who messages us.

Firstly, we have to keep the adoption process fair. We often receive multiple enquiries about the same kitten, including kittens like Colin, Francesca and George. It wouldn’t be fair to the other families who have also expressed interest to simply allocate a kitten based on who messaged first.

But more importantly, we strongly believe in meeting your potential new family member in person. ❤️

A photo can show you how gorgeous a kitten is, but it can’t show you their personality, their quirks, or that special connection you feel when you meet them.

We’ve seen so many people arrive at adoption days with their heart set on one particular kitten, only to meet another kitten and realise that was their perfect match. 🥹

Sometimes the kitten you thought you wanted isn’t the kitten you connect with — and sometimes the one you hadn’t considered at all ends up stealing your heart.

We also want to be able to keep sharing photos and updates of our beautiful babies with you! 📸🐱

We love showing you their little personalities, watching them grow and giving everyone a chance to follow their rescue journeys. We would genuinely hate to reach a point where we had to stop sharing photos of individual kittens simply because we were receiving so many requests to reserve them.

So please understand that seeing a kitten’s photo does not mean they can be reserved or claimed through messages. Instead, we encourage you to come along to an adoption day and meet the kittens in person.

Our goal isn’t simply to find homes for kittens. It’s to find the right forever home for each kitten. 🏡💕

Come with an open mind, an open heart — and let the kittens choose you too. 🐾

Because the best matches aren’t always made from a photograph.
Sometimes, they happen when you meet. ✨

Welcome Jaws 🦈

This sweet little bean was found as a stray with a fractured jaw and degloved lip 😢 despite his injuries he still persists to be the SWEETEST kitten in all the land 🩵

For now he is on antibiotics and pain relief and is scheduled for surgery Monday. He has the whole team at 4 Paws Veterinarians wrapped around his little paw 🐾

If you’re in a position to donate toward his surgery we would be forever thankful 🙏

✨ EDUCATIONAL FRIDAY - Dental Disease 🦷

Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health problems seen in cats? And unfortunately, our cats are experts at hiding pain. 💔

A cat can have significant dental disease while still eating, playing and acting completely normal.

🦷 What is dental disease?
Dental disease begins with plaque — a sticky film of bacteria that builds up on the teeth. If it isn’t removed, it can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and, eventually, painful damage to the tissues and bone supporting the teeth.

🚩 Signs to look out for include:
• Bad breath
• Red, swollen or bleeding gums
• Yellow or brown tartar on the teeth
• Dropping food while eating
• Chewing on one side of the mouth
• Difficulty eating or swallowing
• Pawing at the mouth
• Excessive drooling
• Becoming reluctant to eat
• Weight loss
• Becoming quieter or more withdrawn

💕 So, how can you help?

Regular veterinary dental checks are incredibly important. Your vet can assess your cat’s teeth and gums and determine whether a professional dental procedure is required.

At home, preventative dental care can also help reduce plaque build-up. Depending on your cat, this may include tooth brushing, specially designed dental diets or veterinary-approved dental products.

Matthew put his hand out and little Steele reached out and touched with his paw 🥹🩵

Moments like this certainly make it all worth while for our foster carers who put so much time, energy and love into caring for their fosters 🐈
