Gentle Giant Wh**ey, is now ready for his forever home.
Crueley abandoned and deemed feral, he ended up ear tipped as a TNR.
In truth, he was probably abandoned as a kitten and had to learn to fend for himself🥲
Thanks to the persistence of his kind feeder, he no longer needs to face life as a stray.
Wh**ey enjoys a bit of attention and likes the company of other cats.
He will head but you and give his love unconditionally.
Our vets think he is about 2-3 years old and in good health.
He will be fine with older children and other cats.
He has not been tested with dogs.

Three Little Souls, One Forever Home 🐾❤️

Douglas, Evan and Lottie — three gorgeous siblings looking for their forever home together.

🖤 Douglas – a fluffy semi long haired black boy who is crazy in the best possible way! Full of fun, mischief and endless energy.
🤍Evan – our handsome tabby boy. He can be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, his sweet personality really shines through.
🖤 Lottie – a beautiful fluffy semi long haired black girl with the sweetest nature.

These three are incredibly bonded, so we would love to find a special home where they can stay together. They have lots of energy, love to play and are little purr machines. They also absolutely love their food! 😻
They would be happy around children and are fine with other cats, making them a wonderful little trio for a busy, loving family. They are just over 13 weeks old.

They’ll bring so much love, laughter and joy to the right home. ❤️ If you think you could offer Douglas, Evan and Lottie the loving forever home please complete the application form below

Charlie, Lola & Mia – Looking for Their Forever Homes! 🐾

These gorgeous kitties came into Purrs with their mum, Mia, when the kittens were just a few days old. They’re now 10 weeks old and will soon be ready to find their forever families. ❤️

🐱 CHARLIE
Charlie is a chunky, long-haired black-and-white boy and an absolute purr machine! 😻 He’s incredibly affectionate, loves cuddles and is always happy to accept a few treats. He really is a little sweetheart.

🐱 LOLA
Lola is Charlie’s slimmer, short-haired sister. She’s almost entirely black, with the cutest little dash of white on her chest. 🖤 Although she’s a little more reserved than Charlie, Lola is wonderfully curious, loves exploring and enjoys plenty of playtime.

💕 Charlie & Lola are inseparable and must be adopted together. They would make a wonderful pair for a loving home where they can grow up side by side.

Then there’s their beautiful mum, MIA!
Mia is around 2 years old and is a stunning long-haired tabby. She is extremely affectionate and all she wants is to cuddle up and be stroked. She purrs constantly – even at the vets! 😊

Mia would make the most wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, affectionate cat.

🏡 Could you be the forever home they’ve been waiting for?

We have received a message that a person was seen at Pets at Home on Wednesday saying they had found 3 kittens dumped in a car park in Hornchurch, and the kittens were described as matching the ones we are currently trying desperately to locate.

We are really hoping that this kind person may have rescued them. 🙏🏻

If this was you, would you please be willing to get in touch with us to confirm that you have rescued the kittens? We would love to reunite them with their sister. ❤️

We are also still extremely worried about their mum. If you know exactly where the kittens were found, or have any information about where their mum may be, please, please get in touch. Any information could help us locate her and make sure she is safe. 💔

Please share this far and wide. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much. ❤️

🚨 URGENT – MOTHER CAT & 3 KITTENS MISSING 🚨

Please keep your eyes open around Fentiman Way Car Park, Hornchurch.

On Wednesday 12th August, between approximately 1:30pm and 2:15pm, a woman was witnessed carrying a large box into the car park and then releasing/dumping a mother cat and her four kittens into the bushes.

A passer-by who witnessed what was happening managed to persuade the woman to hand over one of the kittens, which is now safe and in foster care. Sadly, the mother cat and the other three kittens are still missing.

🐾 Mother: believed to be tabby
🐾 Kittens: approximately 10 weeks old
🐾 2 kittens: ginger
🐾 1 kitten: black & white

We have searched during both the day and night but so far there have been no sightings.

The kittens are young and frightened and may be hiding in the bushes or nearby gardens. The mother may also be staying very close to them.

🙏 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST with anyone living around Fentiman Way, Hornchurch, and nearby areas.

If you see a tabby mum cat or any of the three missing kittens, please do not chase them, as they are likely to be extremely frightened. Take a photo if you safely can and report the exact location immediately.

If you have seen anything suspicious around the car park on Wednesday afternoon, or know anything about the woman involved, please get in touch.

Every share could help bring this mum and her babies to safety. ❤️🐾

💔 FINLEY

We are absolutely heartbroken 😿

Little Finley was around 8 weeks old when someone walked away and left him behind. A helpless baby, simply left to suffer.

Late last week, we took Finley in urgently after he was found dumped in a tiny cardboard box by a kind lady.

He wasn’t even properly weaned and didn’t know how to eat proper food. He was a baby who should still have been with his mum, being fed, kept warm and cared for.

Finley was painfully thin and severely underweight. He was suffering from anaemia, riddled with fleas and full of worms. He was incredibly fragile, but initially he seemed to be doing better

Sadly, things suddenly took a devastating turn. Finley deteriorated very quickly and was diagnosed with intussusception, where the bowel folds in on itself and cuts off the blood supply.

Our vets did everything they could — fluids, antibiotics and round-the-clock care. We desperately hoped this little boy would make it. But just two days later, Finley lost his fight. 💔

He simply wasn’t strong enough. His little body had suffered far too much because of pure neglect. Whoever left him should be ashamed of themselves.

He didn’t deserve this. He deserved food. He deserved safety. He deserved someone to love him. Instead, his short little life was filled with suffering.

We are so sorry, Finley. 💔 We wish we could have saved you.

A huge thank you to Finley’s wonderful foster mum, who gave him love, warmth and care when he needed it most. You gave this little boy something he had been cruelly denied — someone who cared. 🖤

Finley’s story is also a heartbreaking reminder of just how quickly a young kitten can deteriorate. They are incredibly fragile, and when they are this young and already so poorly, things can change frighteningly fast.

Sleep peacefully now, beautiful boy. You should have had a whole lifetime ahead of you.

You mattered. You were loved. You will never be forgotten. 🌈

A very Big Thank you to Sue, Tilly and Beatrice. Another wonderful donation from you. You are amazing 😻
