**Available to meet in Kent** Meet 6 years old Tilly! We call her the cartoon cat as she doesn't look real! she always has a big grin on her face and is ready to greet you. Tilly came to us after enduring five years in truly horrific conditions. Sadly, she arrived with the worst teeth we have ever seen in rescue. Her first weeks with us were all about rest, love, and giving her the chance to decompress from the life she'd known. She has since undergone a full dental and had all but three of her teeth removed. The relief on her little face afterwards was unmistakable. Since then, she's been making up for lost time, enjoying all the food she likes (she eats absolutely everything, even biscuits with no trouble) and spending peaceful days with her new feline friends. Tilly would live well with other cats or be equally fine on her own. She is a quiet, calm, golden soul of a cat who asks for so little. She has settled beautifully alongside all of the other cats, even those who weren't quite as pleased to meet her at first. Her gentle nature is nothing short of remarkable. She truly embodies what rescue is all about. Although she's still finding her confidence with people, Tilly has never shown a hint of aggression. She happily accepts gentle fuss and is growing braver with every passing day and we are 100% she will be a little lap cat in time. All she needs is a patient, understanding adopter who will let her continue to blossom at her own pace. Tilly is still very hand shy so an adopter will need to understand they may not be able to stroke her immediately. Considering everything she has been through, her kindness and resilience are simply extraordinary. She could so easily have lost trust in the world, yet she remains nothing but gentle. Tilly absolutely loves playing and toys and will happily entertain herself for hours with them! She also enjoys playtime with a human so it would be really great if she could have a home that will play with her and get her some nice toys. Now that her dental treatment is behind her, Tilly has been fully health checked, blood tested (all clear), vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. At six years old, she is finally ready to find the loving home she has always deserved and begin the next chapter of her life. Tilly is looking for a calm, quiet adult home (children aged 12+ would be considered), with safe outdoor access via a cat flap and away from any busy main roads (she will need to stay inside for around 8 weeks given she is shyer). Most importantly, she's looking for people who will give her the time, patience, and love she's waited so long for. She is still a very shy cat but we really don't think that will be for long in the right home. We can honestly say you'll struggle to meet a kinder cat than Tilly. There's something truly special about this little girl, and we can't wait for the right person to see what we see. She is available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent.
**Available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent** Meet Theodore and Terry Bonded 20/22 week old brothers 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 (although Terry takes a little time to warm up and will need a patient hand), 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 that has time to play with them while they settle in would be ideal. These boys currently live with 10 other cats, so they’re very well socialised with felines. 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. Theodore and Terry 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 Theodore and Terry the happy ending they’ve been waiting for, please get in touch via the website, These guys are honestly super cute and will give back so much.
❤️ Calling all Shepherd owners! Meet Ace, our gorgeous smiley boy 📍 Available to meet in Faversham, Kent 𝐒𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟔 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 (𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨) .

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 him an active home where he can enjoy plenty of adventures. Ace is: ❤️ Neutered ❤️ Vaccinated ❤️ Microchipped ❤️ Comes with 5 weeks' free pet insurance ❤️ Very good with other dogs out on walks ❤️ Happy to live as the only dog or with a calm, laid back canine companion ❤️ Walks well on and off the lead (although can lose focus when he sees a squirrel) ❤️ Gentle when taking treats ❤️ Is fantastic in the car ❤️ Good with visitors in the home ❤️ Is clean in the house and can be left alone ❤️ 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 10/10 with them on walks and has had doggie pals that he has had play dates with. He particularly likes well rounded, calm dogs and will actively engage in play with them. If he is to be homed with another dog we would prefer them to be nice and laid back and kind. 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. 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. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 Just a couple of hours into his new home Ace gave a tiny lip curl to the teenage son when he was sat on the sofa next to his new owner - now we have to be honest here this is very likely just the stress and newness of moving to a new home and is a super common behaviour that is SO quickly solved when a dog is over whelmed (it has never happened before in his entire 5 years of life so aren't going to label him as as a bad dog, the fact he has been returned already lowers his chances of finding another home). He didn't growl, lunge or bite he just gave a short lip curl as there was so much going on. This could be so easily remedied and likely needed a bit more time and a calm off the sofa whilst he found his feet but unfortunately this was enough to get Ace sent straight back to rescue.

If you have owned a shepherd before (Ace is a shepherd mix), you will know this is such a minor issue and so easily solved. If you think you could be Ace's person, please fill out an adoption application on our website!
We have sooooo many cats at our Chartham Hatch base that are still looking for forever homes. All of these guys needs quieter homes and some need more experienced homes . Please consider adopting a shyer cat ❤️ they give so much back in time . #florisfriendsrescue #adopt #cats #catsofinstagram

The dogs won’t be getting a day out on Thursday as they’re having their joint procedures on Wednesday, so we pretended today was Thursday and went for a quiet, 5 mile stroll across the beautiful Stodmarsh. So many new smells, things to forage and beautiful wildlife to watch. They’ll all sleep well tonight . #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogrescue
❤️ BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER… YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT FRANK IS THE BEST CAT ON PLANET EARTH. ❤️ Honestly. We mean it. You HAVE to meet him to understand just how incredibly special this boy is. **Available to meet in Kent** Meet Frank, our gorgeous 10 year old golden oldie who, through absolutely no fault of his own, found himself homeless after his owners got a dog and simply put him out on the street to fend for himself. Frank was out there for quite some time and, unsurprisingly, had really struggled. Thankfully, those days are behind him now. He is back to top notch health, happiness and absolute fabulousness and he is thriving. Frank is the ultimate gentle giant. He is kind, calm, affectionate and loving, with the most wonderful nature. He has so much love to give and would happily spend his days cuddled up with his favourite human. 🐾 A few VERY important things about Frank: ❤️ He loves his human and will cuddle you tightly. ❤️ He is perfectly happy being picked up, cuddled and thoroughly squished. ❤️ He is a big boy, with an enormous head and an equally enormous heart. ❤️ He will happily greet you when you come home. ❤️ He is curious and gentle with other cats and could live with another very calm, friendly cat. ❤️ He could potentially live with a calm, cat friendly dog. If you have a dog, you are welcome to bring them along to a meet and greet. ❤️ Children are absolutely a yes! Frank is happy around humans of all ages. He just wants someone to love him, cuddle him and give him all the fuss he deserves. 🩺 A little bit about Frank’s health condition We know medical information can sometimes put people off, so we want to be completely open about Frank’s condition. Frank has IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), but it is very well controlled and causes him no symptoms when he has his medication. He needs just ¼ of a tiny steroid tablet once a day, which he happily takes hidden in his dinner. The medication works incredibly well for him , he doesn't vomit, and his poo is lovely and solid. He is on the lowest possible dose, and the medication costs approximately £10 - £19 per month, depending on how you purchase it. His IBD does not affect his health in other areas and he can still be insured. With his daily medication, you genuinely wouldn't know he has the condition. So please, don't let this small medical issue overshadow the absolutely enormous personality attached to it. 🏡 What home are we looking for? Frank would love a safe home with cat-flap access to a secure outdoor area, away from busy main roads. He loves a long nap beside his human, followed by pottering outside when he's ready. He really is the perfect mixture of couch cuddler and independent explorer. And finally… We know Frank is 10 years old. We know he's black. And we know that sadly, older black cats aren't always the first ones people choose. But please don't let his age or colour make you scroll past him. Because what Frank lacks in the things people seem to look for on paper, he makes up for in absolute buckets of personality, love and sweetness. This boy has the fullest heart. He is gentle, affectionate, hilarious, calm and just incredibly special. He deserves to spend his retirement years knowing what it feels like to be truly loved, wanted and part of a family. Please consider Frank. And if you're unsure, come and meet him. We have a feeling that once you've met Frank, you'll understand exactly why we think he's the best cat on planet earth.
Good morning from our lovely Winnipeg who is having a bad week this week. She’s struggled with her walking. We hope her joint lubrication next Wednesday will get her slightly back on track and we shall be upping her micro-dose of ketamine too 🙏🏽 life can seem so unfair when doing this job but we have to focus on the good and the good is that she has so much high quality care and people that adore her and she wants for nothing. ❤️ #florisfriendsrescue #dogsofinstagram
We cannot believe these two are STILL waiting for a forever home! They’re slowly growing up in rescue and that’s sad . They’re so lovely, playful and loving and will honestly be great pets!

Unfortunately, late last night we had to say goodbye to Autumn 😔 she was such an incredible little girl. She brought so much sunshine into so many lives. She was brave, kind and determined to enjoy life..She was loved by absolutely everyone who knew her. We would like to thank all the amazing human beings involved in making Autumns time on this earth possible and so happy…. Her lovely foster family for loving her so much, all the amazing online supporters who enabled us to pay for her care, all of the amazing vets that ever treated her and generally all the people that have supported Autumn over the years. Sleep tight little girl. We were all very blessed to have known you.
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.
