Ermine, Amy & Spicey

Penned by Joan Partridge, Trustee and Volunteer Cattery worker who looked after these cats for many years. Joan has donated money in their memory to the PEANUT FUND.

Noisy little Ermine always ready for food.
Little cross patch Olive often in a bad mood.
Pretty fluffy Amy very quiet and shy
and our beautiful Spicey the apple of my eye.
How I looked foreward to seeing you each day
But now except for Olive you've all been taken away
I will miss you my Darlings as your sweet souls roam free.
Ermine, Amy and Spicey I'll remember the joy you gave me.

We will remember you Spicey, Ermine and Amy

People forget that ‘Cat Rescue’ is made up of people deeply concerned for cats welfare and like you, we are moved to tears when a cat that we have known dies.

These particular cats were with us for many years and we were privileged to have known them well. Sadly sisters,Ermine and Spicey, succumbed to liver cancer within months of each other and Amy succumbed to kidney disease.

The pen just isn't the same without them.

Candle with moving flame

Thomas

Thomas was was a beautiful kitten who became very ill and despite the best Vet care, he didn't improve. It got to the point where we believed he was in pain and his organs were shutting down so on 10 Nov, we had to let him be PTS. Thomas was a tiny cat with a huge personality and he is now buried in the garden that he wanted so much to play in.

Amy & Spicey

Our beautiful feral cats, Amy and Spicey were both exhibiting a deterioration in their health. Amy, the full feral that we could never touch, was found to have very small hard kidneys and was very thin. She was so ill, that there was no option but to put her to sleep. Just after this, Spicey, who had shown a slight improvement, began to deteriorate so we rushed her back to the Vet. We were told that she didn't have long and was in distress. That was our call to let our sweet baby go. RIP you precious furbies. xxx

Sage

We are sad to say that Sage, one of our most recent and very elderly rescues, has had to be put to sleep. We were sad that she was only with us for a few weeks but pleased that she had love and care. She managed to sun bathe nearly every day whilst with us, after being a house cat all her life.

She was an exceptionally nice cat who touched us all.

Ashley

Ashley was living with a permanent fosterer as she had a tumour on her face. Despite past surgery, the tumour grew to a size that rendered it inoperable and so we let our sweet girl find peace.

Candle with moving flame

Douglas

Douglas was a three legged feral kitten who for no known reason, became a very aggressive adult cat. It was not safe to rehome him or to let him be with any other cat or human. His future was bleak with no quality of life possible. With heavy hearts, we had to let him sleep.

Peanut
