**Available to meet in Kent** 🐾 Meet Pumpkin & Hallie 🐾 15 week old sisters, two little survivors looking for their forever home. Pumpkin and Hallie had an incredibly difficult start to life. They were found living behind a butcher’s shop, desperately trying to survive amongst the bins. When they arrived at rescue, they were trembling like little leaves, completely shut down and terrified of human touch. But just look at them now. 🥹 They have come such a long way, and their personalities are finally beginning to shine through. Pumpkin, our gorgeous tortie, has become the ultimate cuddle queen. She absolutely adores people and wants to be wherever you are. She'll happily sit on your lap, shower you with cuddles and kisses, and follow you around like your very own little shadow. She is such a loving, affectionate girl. Hallie is still much more reserved. She's a shy little soul who needs a quiet, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. She isn't quite ready to trust people as completely as Pumpkin does yet, but she is making progress every day. The wonderful thing about these two is that they bring out the best in one another. Hallie takes confidence from Pumpkin and learns from her that people can be trusted. They love playing together and keeping each other company, and we really feel they would thrive as a pair. 🏡 The home we're looking for: 🐾 A quieter, peaceful home 🐾 Children over 10 are fine 🐾 They can live happily with other cats 🐾 Calm, cat-friendly dogs are fine 🐾 Cat flap access is required 🐾 A home away from busy main roads These two are the true meaning of rescue. Despite everything they have endured, they have shown such incredible bravery, resilience and forgiveness. They deserve a home where they can finally feel safe, loved and cherished. If you choose Pumpkin and Hallie, you really will be rescuing a cat, twice over. And we promise, the love you put into them will come back to you tenfold. Both girls are healthy, vaccinated, microchipped and will be neutered when age appropriate. They also come with 5 weeks' free pet insurance. 📍 They are currently in foster and available to meet in Faversham, Kent. If you think you could offer these two very special girls the safe, loving forever home they have waited so long for, please get in touch. 🐾
Our lovely Nellie out on a 1-2-1 training walk this morning. Outside of the pack Nellie is an incredibly nervous dog. 1-2-1, reward walks really help this little one build confidence in herself instead of relying on the pack all the time . #florisfriendsrescue #disabled #dog #dogslife
**Available to meet in Kent** We are looking for someone truly special to give these two beautiful girls the loving home they deserve. Gorgeous Mouse and Munchkin have been with us for over seven months. They first arrived as stray kittens who had clearly endured a very difficult start in life. Having had to fend for themselves, they were absolutely terrified of people. Despite everything they’ve been through, they have never shown any aggression, only gentle, sweet natures hidden behind their fear. We have spent months helping them learn that people can be kind, and they have come such a long way. While they are still shy and would benefit from an experienced, patient adopter, the progress they’ve made has been incredible, they enjoy a play, a stroke and some human company now and would make fantastic little pets. These girls are intelligent, playful, and endlessly curious. We truly believe they would thrive in a calm, loving home where they can build confidence at their own pace. They simply need someone who understands that trust takes time. Once they feel safe, they are affectionate little cats who love fuss, playtime, and spending time with their favourite people. They both adore basking in the sunshine and watching the birds, so they will need a home with either a secure catio, a ProtectaPet style enclosed garden, or safe outdoor access via a cat flap away from any busy or main roads. Whoever adopts these girls will truly get back everything they put in. Sadly, they have been overlooked for far too long because many people are searching for a “ready-made” cat. Mouse and Munchkin have never had that chance, but we know that with patience, kindness, and understanding, they will become wonderful companions. Both girls are around one year old, healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find their forever home. They are calicivirus carriers. This has no impact on their future health, as they have already had the dental treatment needed to manage the condition. However, it does mean they cannot live with cats that are not also calicivirus carriers. Please don’t let this put you off, it’s a very minor condition that rarely causes any ongoing problems, doesn’t need medicating that most ex stray cats have, and these girls can expect to live long, happy, healthy lives. If you think you could be the patient, loving person these special girls have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you. If anyone is worried about the Calichi we will pop it in the contract that if anything arises (we are sure it won’t), we will cover the cost. please get in touch if you would like to come and view these special girls. We are so sad to see them stuck in rescue for this long.
Meet Tadpole & Tallulah 🖤🤍 Tadpole and Tallulah are a beautiful 12 week old brother and sister looking for their forever home together. These two were born in a field and survived by begging for food in people’s gardens. When they first arrived at the rescue, they were terrified, trembling like little leaves. It was heartbreaking to see. Since then, they’ve come on in leaps and bounds, growing into playful, curious and affectionate kittens who are discovering just how wonderful life can be. They’re still a little shy with new people, but considering everything they’ve been through, their progress has been incredible. In just a few weeks they’ve learned to trust, and we’re confident they’ll continue to blossom in a patient, loving home. They absolutely adore chicken and treats, you’ll soon have them won over with a few tasty rewards! Tadpole and Tallulah currently live with 10 other cats, so they’re very well socialised with felines and have wonderfully gentle, submissive natures. They could happily live with other friendly cats and are also comfortable around calm, cat savvy dogs. They are: ✅ Neutered ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Microchipped ✅ Health checked ✅ Come with 5 weeks’ free pet insurance Because they’re still gaining confidence, they’re looking for a quieter home with someone who understands that shy cats need time, patience and gentle encouragement. Watching them learn to trust is incredibly rewarding, and we know they’ll become loving, devoted companions for the right family. They’ll need: A quiet home. An adopter with experience of, or patience for, shy cats. Safe outdoor access via a cat flap once settled. A home away from busy main roads. Tadpole and Tallulah have already overcome so much in their short lives. Now all they need is someone to show them what it means to be truly loved. We don’t want these special siblings to grow up in rescue when they deserve a home of their own. If you think you could offer Tadpole and Tallulah the happy ending they’ve been waiting for, please get in touch.❤️

Who remembers the lovely Neeve? Each year, 13 year old Neeve takes fundraising for us into her own hands and holds a Flori’s Friends charity fair. She works hard all year to put this together for us and this year she has come up trumps again and raised an incredible £243. This will be going towards the dogs joint injections next week. We say it every year, and we will say it again, the world needs more Neeves in it. Thank you Neeve, for just being you <3
We are absolutely heartbroken that Polly and Gus are still waiting for their forever home. After months of sharing their advert, these beautiful pair remain in rescue while cute pedigree cats and tiny kittens are often reserved in less than 24 hours. We just can’t understand how they’ve been overlooked for so long. Polly and Gus have so much love to give and deserve the chance to finally settle into a home of their own. About Polly & Gus: * Available to meet in Kent * Cat friendly * Calm dog friendly * Can live with older children * Must have access to the outdoors via a cat flap Please take a moment to read their full advert on our website. If you can’t offer them a home, a simple share could help them reach the person who can. Let’s find Polly and Gus the happy ending they’ve been waiting for. ❤️ #cats #rescue #cats_of_instagram #cutecats
Little man Bongo is soon to be joining us! He’s an 8 month old Persian prince that sadly only has on eye. This absolutely does not stop him living life to the max… he’s full of beans and loves to play! He’s going to be looking for a protecta fence garden or very large catio so that he can continue being a baby monkey. His full advert will be on the website tomorrow 🫶🏼 He will be available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent and can live with other pets and kids. #florisfriendsrescue #persian #cat #catsofinstagram #kitten
**Available to meet in Kent, please give these lovely girls a share, we are desperate for the space for other cats in need** Say hello to Dina & Leah, two adorable little sisters looking for their forever home! Dina and Leah have had a difficult start in life. They were found as strays, although given their friendly, affectionate nature, we suspect they may once have been pets who were sadly abandoned. Thankfully, those days are behind them, and these sweet girls have blossomed in foster care, where they've discovered the joys of regular meals, warm beds, and plenty of cuddles. Both are only a year old and still have a playful, kitten like side and love toys, games, and exploring their surroundings together. Leah (grey) is the confident adventurer of the pair. She's outgoing, affectionate, and always ready to investigate something new. Dina (black) is a little more reserved and takes a bit longer to settle in unfamiliar environments, but once she feels safe, her playful, funny, and loving personality shines through. We're hoping to find them a home together with safe outdoor access via a cat flap, away from busy roads, where they can continue to enjoy life side by side. Both girls are: ✔ Neutered ✔ Vaccinated ✔ Microchipped ✔ Healthy ✔ Come with 5 weeks' free pet insurance Leah and Dina could also live with older children and very calm cats, provided introductions are gentle and gradual but would be just a happy as the only cats in the house A message from their foster family "Dina is very playful and loves a game of hide and seek! She can be shy around new people, so anyone meeting her will need to give her a little time and patience but once she knows you she is ready for cuddles. She's also developed a rather posh habit of drinking water from a glass! Leah is the more social of the two and loves curling up with us on the sofa for cuddles. She really is the big sister to Dina and is always keeping an eye on her. When they're together, you know it's playtime, especially in the evenings! Watching both girls grow in confidence during their time with us has been wonderful. Their forever family will need to understand that Dina may spend the first few days hiding while she settles in and learns that she's safe, but once she does, she's an absolute delight." Dina and Leah are available to meet in Canterbury, Kent. They are a truly lovely pair, full of character, affection, and fun. Whoever welcomes these sisters into their home will be gaining two wonderful companions and will be very lucky indeed. See less
Today is a good day. We have been working towards this for months. Elle has had no issues with Nellie but Nellie has had issues with Elle. We have been gradually building their bond by keeping their time together positive, monitored and watching for any change in body language in Nellie so that we can gently guide her away from an outburst and into something positive. We have also been getting them to bond more on lovely, side by side, country walks before letting them have their own space when they return back to the rescue. It might not seem like much, but to us, this is a huge milestone. Nellie is still new at the rescue and it can take years for them to find their feet, especially in a large pack and after going through so much trauma. We don’t expect her behaviour to fully settle down without any additional help from us and of course, lots of time and patience. Most importantly, putting ourselves in little Nellie’s shoes has been the most helpful when training her. Humans are too easily frustrated when a dog doesn’t fit the mould they want them to. These dogs can’t help it, they’re trying and it’s important we understand their view of the world and make adjustments (even if they’re inconvenient to us) to facilitate them feeling more comfortable. Well done little Nel, good star for you today ⭐️ #dogs #florisfriendsrescue #dogsofinstagram #cutedogs
Another very warm welcome to these four feral kittens! Meet Terry, Theodore, Tallulah and Tadpole. They’ve had a really tough start and were born in a bush and abandoned by mum. Sadly, East Kent has an extraordinarily big problem with feral cats. We know we can’t help them all but we are trying very hard to make a small dent 🫶🏼 #florisfriendsrescue #feralcat #cats #kittens
Good morning! As you have probably already noticed, the stray cat problem is worse than ever and we are doing our very best to help. So with that, we would like to welcome Frank to Team Flori! Frank, as you can see, has been through the wars but boy is he over the moon to be in a foster home now. He’s such a friendly, hilarious little chap who is going to make someone an incredible cat one day. #cat #cats #cats_of_instagram #catagram
A very warm welcome to Willow and her 5 tiny newborns 🫶🏼 Willow joined Team Flori last night after she gave birth in someone’s garden, sadly a common theme these days. We think Willow is an ex pet as she’s such a friendly little love! Her babies are doing well and are going to be stunning, well socialised tabby’s looking for forever homes. Safe now little one #cats #kittens #florisfriendsrescue
