Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. We have raised £1500 and unfortunately the estimated bill is now looking FAR greater than £15,000. Today we have parted with £12,500 and we are only 24hours into her care. Here she is today, doing better than yesterday but no where close to being of the woods yet. Please keep sharing and donating, we have never needed you guys more. This is critical for her and to us a charity to be able to still provide care to the other animals that need our funding for medical issues at this time. We have had to cancel our next paralysed animal because of this bill…this is an unbelievably stressful time for everyone as sadly your donations are what we rely on to save lives 😔 please help us keep the momentum up and keep sharing ❤️ thank you.

It is with such sadness that our darling Autumn is in critical care. She’s had some serious surgery today in hope to save her life. A perforated stomach and an abdomen filled with fluid on top of coming into sepsis. There’s a small chance she may pull through this and as horrible it is for us to even mention money, sadly this is going to cost in the 15k+ region seeing as she needs ICU for a couple of weeks. Today’s surgery was £7500, without the out of hours care she needs until Monday when she can be transferred to an expensive icu specialist hospital. We were just raising money for our end of life dogs and now this happened and we are just floored with the expense . If you can help us help autumn you know what to do 😢 we are absolutely gutted . One of the saddest days we have had in a long time. Www.florisfriendsrescue.org/donate
After 3 years, we are slowly starting to understand Patsy’s complex little body. She has been fighting multiple conditions since the day she came into our care. Some days it has felt a little overwhelming and we have felt very sorry for little Patsy. Recently, we have been making quite good progress with the help of our lovely vet and she seems to be generally healthier and much more full of life! We have now gotten her off her steroids completely and her new food has greatly improved her IBD. She is such a lovely, happy and kind little girl. For a dog that had her legs brutally cut by a human, she is so very trusting. Here’s to more good days for our little P 🩷🩷🩷 #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dog #dogrescue #adopt
🐾 Meet Pumpkin & Hallie 🐾 16 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 currently 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 and is enjoying a gentle pet. 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. 🐾

Meet Tadpole & Tallulah 🖤🤍 Tadpole and Tallulah are a beautiful 15 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 and have grown into curious and affectionate kittens who are discovering just how wonderful life can be. We wouldn’t call these two cats shy anymore at all, they’re super happy to see you when you come into their enclosure! 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! We do think that when moved they may hide for a day or two but not for long. These guys are very active and playful so a home hat has time to play with them while they settle in would be ideal. 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 Petplan insurance They’ll need: * A quieter home with children over 12 * 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.❤️ #kittens #kittensofig #kittenoftheday #florisfriendsrescue #tuxedo
Lovely followers.. we need you 🙏🏽 We try to not ask for donations often as we know it can get tedious and depressing. We keep our socials as positive and uplifting as possible but from time to time we really need your help and sometimes it takes a collective to change a life! Our three end of life dogs Winniepeg, Summer and Fern are really starting to struggle and it has been advised that we bring their next joint lubrication forward a month. Elle is also due hers soon too. As she only has one leg, it’s imperative that we keep her comfortable and keep these injections up. The grand total for all four dogs is £5500. They are due to have the procedures on September 16th, giving us around two weeks to raise some money towards it. Our vet bills, as many of you know, are averaging 15k a month across all the clinics that we use, so this is additional funding we need to find. If everyone did £1 we could have it all covered in an evening. Please don’t think £1 is not worth doing as it all adds up. If you can spare a penny we would be so very grateful! We work so hard to bring you heartwarming content to lift your day and we really want these dogs to still be alive to continue doing so!

**Available to meet in Crayford, Kent** Catio or fully cat-proof garden required Meet the gorgeous brother and sister duo, Juno and Nova (yes they look almost identical) Sadly, both of these beautiful cats lost their eyes after suffering terrible eye infections as stray kittens. But they certainly haven’t let that stop them! They have adapted remarkably well to life without their sight and are absolutely thriving in their foster home. Both are incredibly clever and have quickly learned their surroundings. They can navigate the house, manage stairs and use their litter trays perfectly. They are otherwise healthy, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. They can live with other calm, friendly cats following careful introductions and with cat-savvy children aged 12+. 💙 Juno Juno is the sweetest boy and perhaps a little more independent than his sister, but he absolutely loves affection. He will happily purr away in your arms and loves being picked up and cuddled. He really is the most wonderful boy. 💕 Nova Nova is a total little sweetheart! She isn't quite as keen on being picked up, but she more than makes up for it by running over and throwing herself at your feet for belly rubs. Nova is still very nervous around noises, so she needs a quiet, patient and understanding home with someone who is experienced with nervous cats. She will get there, but it is going to take some time. Both are generally very affectionate and absolutely adore playing together. They also love nothing more than snuggling up on the bed with their humans. Considering they have spent their entire lives knowing little more than a veterinary environment, they are doing incredibly well in a home. We would love to find them a home with a secure outdoor space, such as a catio or fully cat-proof garden, where they can safely enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and all the wonderful smells of the outside world. These two have overcome so much already, and we desperately want their next chapter to be a forever one. A quiet, understanding home with experience of nervous cats is essential because of Nova. 📍 Juno and Nova are available to meet in Crayford, Kent. If you think you could offer these incredibly special cats the safe, loving forever home they deserve, please get in touch with us via our website.
**Available to meet in Kent** ❤️ Meet Ace, our gorgeous smiley boy 📍 Available to meet in Faversham, Kent Say hello to Ace, a gorgeous 5 year old love bug with the most infectious smile! Despite everything he has been through recently, Ace seems to have a permanent smile on his face. Sadly, his dad has passed away, and his mum is no longer well enough to give Ace the walks and exercise he needs. Losing his main person has been a huge change for him, and although this decision has been incredibly difficult, the kindest thing is to find Ace a new home where he can have the happy, active life he deserves. At just 5 years old, Ace absolutely loves his walks, so we would really love to find him an active home where he can enjoy plenty of adventures. Ace has gained a little extra weight due to not getting enough exercise recently, but other than that he is a healthy boy. He is: ❤️ Neutered ❤️ Vaccinated ❤️ Microchipped ❤️ Comes with 5 weeks' free pet insurance ❤️ Good with other dogs ❤️ Happy to live as the only dog or with canine companions ❤️ Walks well on the lead ❤️ Gentle when taking treats ❤️ A lovely, affectionate all rounder with a heart of gold Ace is also booked in to have a scale and polish, so those beautiful pearly whites can keep flashing that famous smile! Cats, however, aren't Ace's thing, so he would need a cat free home. Ace can get very excited when meeting people and may jump up, so we'd prefer any children in his new home to be 10+, simply because he could accidentally knock younger children over in his enthusiasm. Ace is a long coated boy, so his new family will need to be happy to keep on top of regular brushing and grooming to keep his beautiful coat in tip top condition. Honestly, you really do need to meet this boy to appreciate just how special he is. He is gentle, loving, full of personality and has the most wonderful smile and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Ace by their side. All Ace needs now is someone willing to mend his broken heart, give him a fresh start and help him get back to enjoying the walks and adventures he loves so much. If you think you could be Ace's person, please get in touch to arrange a meet.

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.
