**Available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent.** Meet the gorgeous Twiglett! This teeny tiny chap is just 15 weeks old and already stealing hearts. Twiglett is the runt of the litter and is absolutely tiny for his age, currently no bigger than an 8ā9 week-old kitten! He was found alongside his brothers living outside a Chinese takeaway in the freeing cold, where they had been relying on food scraps to survive. Understandably, Twiglett is still a little shy, having only recently arrived with us, but we are keen to find him a loving home sooner rather than later while he is still young and learning about the world. He is more than handleable and, once heās finished wriggling around, will happily settle on your lap and purr away. He absolutely loves his treats, too! Despite having been with us for such a short time, his curiosity is already shining through and his confidence seems to grow by the hour. He really is the sweetest little chap, and we have no doubt he is going to make someone an incredibly lovely companion. Twiglett is fantastic with other cats and has the most wonderful manners. In fact, he is pretty much bombproof with feline company! We would really like to find him a home with another friendly cat who can show him the ropes, give him some companionship and help him continue to build his confidence. Twiglett also requires cat flap access away from any built up areas. He would suit a quieter home with children aged 10+, ideally with someone around a little more to give him the gentle encouragement and reassurance he needs. We donāt anticipate it taking long for him to settle into a new home, perhaps just a few days. A little patience, lots of gentle handling and plenty of love will go a very long way. Twiglett is a healthy little boy and is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated and wormed. He is ready to find his very own family, and we would love nothing more than to see this tiny boy blossom into the confident, happy cat we know he can be. Could you be the special person Twiglett has been waiting for? Get in touch via the website if heās the boy for you ! #florisfriendsrescue #kitten #kittens #blackkitten

WELCOME TO TEAM FLORI, TIFFANY! The gorgeous Tiffany officially joins Team Flori today, and we couldnāt be happier to have this lovely little girl with us! Tiffany is a real cuddle bug who adores affection and has so much love to give. She is incredibly deserving of a special forever home where she can feel safe, cherished and adored for the rest of her life. Tiffany will soon be looking for an indoor home with access to secure outdoor space, such as a catio, as she is FIV positive. Please donāt let FIV put you off! FIV is not a reason to overlook a cat like Tiffany. She doesnāt need any medication and, apart from being FIV positive, she is a very healthy girl who can enjoy a happy, long and fulfilling life. All Tiffany wants is someone to love, a cosy home to call her own and a human to share all those wonderful cuddles with. Could you be the special person Tiffany has been waiting for? Full advert coming soon #florisfriendsrescue #cats #cat #cutecat
**Available to meet in Chartham Hatch, kent** Meet Theodore and Tallulah Bonded 22 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 peopleās gardens, when we got them they were literally fighting for their little lives to survive. When they first arrived at the rescue, they were terrified, trembling like little leaves. It was heartbreaking to see. Since then, theyāve come on in leaps and bounds and have grown into curious and affectionate kittens who are discovering just how wonderful life can be. We would still call them shyer cats though and they definitely need a quieter place to call home. We wouldnāt call these two cats shy anymore at all (although Theodore can be a little slower to come round than Tallulah), theyāre super happy to see you when you come into their enclosure! In just a few months theyāve learned to trust, and weāre confident theyāll continue to blossom in a patient, loving home. They absolutely adore chicken and treats, youāll 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. Tallulah has started being happy with being picked up which is just amazing. Theodore is a little less active than his sister. Tallulah likes a good play whereas Theodore will play for a little while then retire to the sofa! These guys currently live with 10 other cats, so theyāre very well socialised with felines and incredibly kind with them. They could happily live with other friendly cats . They are: Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped Health checked (FIV/FELV negative) Come with 5 weeksā free Pet insurance Theyāll need: A quieter home with either no children or children over 12 Safe outdoor access via a cat flap once settled. A home away from busy main roads. These lovely little ones 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 donāt want these special siblings to grow up in rescue when they deserve a home of their own. They truly are lovely little kittens that just need that right home to help them continue flourishing! If you think you could offer Talullah and Theodore the happy ending theyāve been waiting for, please get in touch.
**Available to meet in Canterbury Kent** DORA NEEDS A VERY SPECIAL HOME BEFORE CHRISTMAS We are desperately searching for a very special home for a very special girl. This is 5 year old Dora, and we are becoming increasingly worried that this lovely little cat won't find her happy ever after before Christmas. Her foster carers will need to go away, and if we cannot find her a home in time, Dora may have to move into kennels. For this sensitive little girl, who struggles so much with change, this would be incredibly difficult for her. Please, can we find someone willing to give Dora the chance she so desperately deserves? Dora is a completely non-aggressive, kind and gentle little girl. She is incredibly sweet, but she is also very sensitive and needs time to feel safe in new surroundings. When she moves somewhere new, she will likely hide away for a couple of weeks while she takes everything in. This isn't because she is unfriendly or doesn't want human company; she simply needs time to understand that she is safe. Once Dora feels comfortable, a completely different side of her emerges. She becomes affectionate, sociable and a wonderful little companion. She will happily snuggle up with you on the sofa or curl up beside you in bed. Her previous family kept her confined to one room with the door shut for quite some time, which we believe has contributed to her uncertainty around unfamiliar environments. She just needs someone who understands that trust cannot be rushed. And the lovely news? Dora has only recently started showing an interest in toys! Watching her slowly discover new things and grow in confidence is just wonderful. She has the sweetest little face, and we know there is so much more of her personality waiting to shine through. What sort of home does Dora need? We are looking for a calm, patient person who understands that settling into a new home may take time. Dora would be best suited to: A quiet home with no young children. Someone who will let her hide and explore at her own pace, without pressure. A patient adopter who understands that building trust can take weeks, not days. A home with safe outdoor access, either through a cat flap away from busy main roads, a catio, or a garden secured with a ProtectaFence system. Dora cannot live with dogs . She has never lived with another cat but given her gentle nature and with gentle intros via a door net she should be ok If you give Dora the time and reassurance she needs, the rewards will be enormous. Dora has never lived with other cats so adopters with other cats would need to do very slowly intros via a door net on a room just for Dora while she settles. You really do get out what you put in with this special girl. Once she trusts you, you will become her favourite person in the world. She just needs someone willing to give her that chance. Dora is a healthy girl who has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and blood tested. She is ready to find a loving family and begin the next chapter of her life. š Dora is available to meet in Canterbury, Kent. Could you be Dora's Christmas miracle? We desperately want this little girl to have a home of her own before Christmas, somewhere she can settle in peace, feel safe and finally know what it is like to belong. Please don't overlook Dora just because she needs a little extra time. She isn't difficult, she isn't aggressive and she isn't asking for anything extraordinary. She simply needs patience, understanding and a quiet place to call home. If you think you could be the special person Dora is waiting for, please get in touch with us about adopting her. And if you can't adopt, PLEASE SHARE HER POST. One share could reach the person who changes Dora's life forever. We really need to find this girl a place to call home before Christmas. Let's make sure Dora's next move is into her forever home, not a kennel.
**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 havenāt 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 and are one . They can live with other calm, friendly cats following careful introductions and with cat-savvy children aged 12+. š 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. š 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. Theyād also love someone who isnāt out at the office all day as they really enjoy human company 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. š 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.

Meet the darling little boy that is CooperĀ Sadly, Cooper had an owner who didnāt care much for him. He was left unneutered for many years, and the other male cats on the street repeatedly attacked him, eventually leaving him needing emergency veterinary treatment. He was returned to his owner by the RSPCA, who sadly put him straight back outside with his open wounds and bucket collar still on. Thankfully, the lovely ladies on the street had been keeping a close eye on him, and we have now managed to step in and get Cooper safely signed over to us.Ā Since coming into our care, Cooper has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and fully blood tested, and he is now in tip-top condition.Ā Cooper was definitely not made for the thug life! He has shown himself to be a cuddly, gentle and complete gentleman who was so sadly underappreciated. Hereās what Cooperās fosterer has to say about him: āCooper is an extraordinarily loving cat who likes to get on your lap and have cuddles. He spends a lot of time lounging about and snoozing! He is a very good companion cat and will follow you around the house. He is a right little character and just wants to be with somebody. When he is asleep in his bed, you will catch him with one eye open to see if youāre still there. If he realises you have gone, he will go looking for you whilst chirping. It is very sweet. He just wants to be loved.ā Cooper is around 5 years and although he lives happily with other cats at the moment he has had an issue with one cat before so we would prefer him to be the only cat! š¶ He has never lived with dogs, so this would need to be considered on an individual basis. š§ He can live with children of all ages. š§» He is fully litter trained. š” Cooper needs a home with a cat flap, away from busy main roads. This gorgeous boy has been through far more than he ever should have, and all he wants now is someone who will love him, cherish him and never let him down again.Ā If you can offer Cooper the forever home he so desperately deserves, please get in touch. He really is an absolute gem of a boy and is available to meet in Canterbury.Ā Could you be Cooperās forever family? #cutecat #cat

One of the most important considerations when caring for any mobility impaired animal is physiotherapy. Most animals come across totally fine to the untrained eye but thereās no such thing as a mobility impaired animal that doesnāt need physio and most have some level of pain they are masking. If you are considering owning a mobility animal please factor the cost of regular physio into their care. By having regular physio we can ensure our dogs are happy and pain free #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #adoptdontshop #dog #doggo
A little Susan update seeing as she doesnāt get lots of air time. Sheās doing really well. We have managed to get her reoccurring UTIās that she came to us with, under control fully now. The difference in Susan since she arrived to us is just unbelievable . From a shaking little leaf, to a proud , loving girl. Itās taken her 3 years to come out of her shell. #florisfriendsrescue #cutedog #dog #dogsofinstagram

If you do one thing today, please make it sharing this adoption advert! we really need to find this lad a home ! š Available to meet in Faversham, Kent Calling all semi- experienced dog owners! Meet Ace, our gorgeous smiley boy! Ace is a gorgeous 5 year old Shepherd Mix, 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 very much, so we would really love to find Ace a home that can offer him two nice walks a day. He is in general a very well rounded dog that shouldn't be an issue for any good dog owner. Ace is a very environmentally sound dog. He is good with passing bikes, people, kids, cars, trains, busy towns and you can take him pretty much anywhere but he does need to time to relax on the first few days of being homed as this is where he can be a tad unsure of himself. Ace is: ā¤ļø Neutered ā¤ļø Vaccinated ā¤ļø Microchipped ā¤ļø Comes with 5 weeks' free pet insurance ā¤ļø Good with all dogs on his walks (he pretty much just ignores them and if one is reactive to him he is totally submissive and hides behind your legs) ā¤ļø Happy to live as the only dog or with a very calm, laid back canine companion that won't overwhelm him ā¤ļø Walks well on and off the lead (although off - lead will take some time after bonding to the family) ā¤ļø Gentle when taking treats and knows some basic commands ā¤ļø Is fantastic in the car ā¤ļø Good with visitors in the home (all currently including young visiting grandchildren) ā¤ļø Is clean in the house and can be left alone ā¤ļø A lovely, affectionate all rounder with a heart of gold Ace has also had 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 has never lived with a dog before but is fine with them on walks and has had doggie pals in the past that he has had play dates with. He particularly likes well rounded, calm dogs and will actively engage in play with them if he has met them a few times and trusts that they are safe. If he is to be homed with another dog we would prefer them to be submissive, nice and laid back and kind as he gets a bit frightened when a dog is overly keen on him. Ace can get very excited when meeting people and may jump up a little, so we'd prefer any children in his new home to be 12+, simply because he could accidentally knock younger children over in his enthusiasm. 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 take things at his pace, give him time to settle when transitioning and generally just offer him a laid back approach and nice walks. šššš„š² ššš š°šš¬ adopted out once and then rššš®š«š§šš šš«šØš¦ š”š¢š¬ š§šš° š”šØš¦š š£š®š¬š a couple of š”šØš®š«š¬ š¢š§, šš”š«šØš®š š” š§šØ ššš®š„š šØš š”š¢š¬ šØš°š§. šš were ššš¬šØš„š®ššš„š² š š®šššš ššØš« šš”š¢š¬ š©šØšØš« ššØš² š”š š”šš¬ šššš§ šš”š«šØš®š š” š¬šØ š¦š®šš” and it honestly wasn't his fault. Just a couple of hours into his new home Ace was clearly feeling a little overwhelmed with all that was going on, the multiple people asking for his attention and all the news things that were being asked of him and he gave a tiny lip curl to the teenage son when he came over to join him on the sofa. It was so minor and to be honest, we are gutted we have to disclose this on his advert as we know this will impact his chances of being picked again but it would be unprofessional of us not to mention it. This has never happened in the 5 years he has been in his current home, not even around young kids. We are sure that this was very likely just down to too much going on and the stress and newness of moving to a new home. Any experienced dog owner will know it is actually a super common behaviour that is SO quickly solved when a dog is over whelmed. He didn't growl, lunge or bite he just gave a short lip curl and that was that. This could be so easily remedied and likely needed a bit more time for him to bond with everyone in the home and a calm off the sofa whilst he found his feet but unfortunately this was enough to get Ace sent straight back to rescue. šš„ššš¬š šØš§š„š² šš©š©š„š² ššØš« ššš š¢š š²šØš® šš«š š©š«šš š¦ššš¢š, š«šš„šš±šš šš«šØš®š§š ššØš š¬ šš§š š®š§ššš«š¬ššš§š ššš š¢š¬ š š š«ššš ššØš šš”šš š£š®š¬š š§šššš¬ š¬šØš¦š š š®š¢ššš§šš šš§š ššØš®š§ššš«š¢šš¬ š°š”š¢š„š¬š š¬šššš„š¢š§š š¢š§. šš š²šØš® š”ššÆš šØš°š§šš š š©š«šØš©šš« š¬š”šš©š”šš«š ššššØš«š ššš š°š¢š„š„ šš š š°šš„š¤ š¢š§ šš”š š©šš«š¤ ššØš« š²šØš®! Other than this once small incident he was as good as gold and was behaving like the perfect dog. If you think you could be Ace's person, please get in touch via the website to arrange a meet! We are happy for adopters to visit a few times to get to know him !
