✨Timmy✨ One of the newest members of our feral colony of cats. Timmy was trapped from an area where it was no longer safe to be and is here for gradual rehabilitation. over the course of the year he will learn to trust humans and be able to stop fending for his life and start to enjoy life as a cat. We have never failed a feral yet and we cannot wait to see him relaxed enough to be adopted out one day 🙏🏽 As with every feral, it’s a very long road and they do take up a lot of time but we are super passionate about ferals and we think they deserve just as much of a chance as any other cat. Welcome Timmy, we love you already. #florisfriendsrescue #cats #cat #cats_of_instagram #cutecat

He ha stolen the hearts of many on his travels and now also ours. Oliver has proven himself to be an affectionate, caring and calm boy that likes to snuggle up with his human and offer all the love. He has been a fantastic big bro to the other cats in foster and also adores the resident dog, we honestly cannot fault his kindness . Oliver is FIV positive, so he must live either as an only cat or with other FIV-positive cats. Please don’t let this put you off, cats like Oliver go on to live full, happy lives just like any other cat and he requires no medication. He is otherwise healthy and strong, and is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully blood tested. He also enjoys a good groom, a play with his toys, and having experienced life outdoors as a stray, still appreciates fresh air and basking in the sunshine. For this reason, we don’t feel it would be fair to confine him as a fully indoor-only cat. He is toilet trained, non destructive, happy to left alone and generally a very laid back boy. Anyone adopting this boy will gain a true companion, he is honestly such a lovely boy that really has so much to give someone. We would really like to see Oliver in a home of his own now and we have such a huge waiting list of cats to come in that could take his space.
✨Friday feel good ✨ We work so hard to make sure each animal gets their happy ending here and what better way to start Friday by sharing yet another successful adoption! Marco was found in a very bad condition, wandering the streets begging for help. After a few months of TLC he recovered and found himself a place to call home! Here’s what his adopters have to say about Marco! We never imagined how quickly we’d fall in love with Marco. In just two months, he’s brought us so much joy, we feel incredibly lucky to be his parents and watch him grow in confidence and personality. He makes us laugh every day, has definitely found his voice, and always knows when it’s time to play, eat, or cuddle. Marco truly loves his people, greeting us at the door, snuggling up, and even cheering us up when we’re down. He’s made our lives brighter and fuller in every way. We’re so grateful to have him (and yes, he’s very spoiled!), and forever thankful to Flori’s Friends for bringing him into our lives. 🖤 If you would like your Flori’s pet featured on our Friday feel good, drop us a DM! #florisfriendsrescue #cat #catsofinstagram #catlife #persiancats
As always , the pedigree FIV positive cats had hundreds of applications but the one black boy, Oliver , who is actually the best natured of them all , had none 😔he is still waiting for a place to call home. He can live with dogs, kids and other FIV cats. #florisfriendsrescue #blackcat #cat #cats_of_instagram
Who remembers Chongus? The cat who was returned multiple times for loving too much!! We are so pleased to tell you that Chongus (now Alan) has found a family that love him for his big heart !! He has also made one dog named Moose, who also loves too much, a very happy big bro ❤️ we love a happy ending #florisfriendsrescue #love
✨Georgie update ✨ You remember Georgie, who came to us a week or so ago, not being able to stand or move. Today we paid for Georgie to have an MRI and a spinal tap. The news couldn’t be better! Sadly, it is very common in teacup breeds to slip their discs after small traumas such as tripping over or knocking themselves on something…this is what has happened to this little guy. He has done damage to his spinal cord but is set to make an 80% recovery in time and with physio, rest and massage. He is going to be gradually weened off his steroids and we hope to see a brand new Georgie in a few months. Even though it was a big hit financially for us we are so glad we did it. Better times ahead for you little man. Thank you to everyone who donated towards this bill. We didn’t raise it all but it really doesn’t matter right now, we are just so happy for him ❤️ #florisfriendsrescue #teacupyorkie #yorkshireterrier #adoptdontshop
*available to meet in Kent * Meet Bobby , a 2 year old Scottish Fold with the sweetest nature. Bobby is an incredibly chilled out little guy who takes life in his stride. Nothing seems to faze him, all he really wants is a cuddle, a bit of playtime, and a kind human to snuggle up with. He was found wandering the streets of Bahrain, bravely approaching people in the hope that someone would help and feed him. Thankfully, Bobby was rescued and has since been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully blood tested. Aside from being FIV positive, he’s a very healthy boy. Please don’t be put off by FIV ,many FIV positive cats live long, happy, completely normal lives and often show no symptoms at all. Because of his FIV status, Bobby will need to live either as the only cat or with other FIV-positive cats. He has a wonderfully gentle temperament and could happily live with calm dogs and children of any age. He’s also very content to relax at home if you’re out during the day and is non destructive. Bobby is very tolerant of wearing a harness, so we’d love for him to have access to a safe garden where he can enjoy the sunshine on his harness, or even better, a catio where he can lounge safely outdoors. This lovely boy truly is a gentleman and would bring so much love, calm, and companionship to a lucky home. Please get in touch if you would like to come and meet this gorgeous lad. He currently in foster in Adisham Kent
A very warm welcome to 4 year old Otto. The perfect cat ❤️ confident, friendly and just looking for that little bit of love. He can live with other cats with gentle intros and potentially calm dogs. Is t he just scrummy 🙏🏽 he is Available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent #florisfriendsrescue #cats #catcatsofinstagram
A really difficult week this week. We have lost count of how many emergency animals we have treated, how many surgeries we have done and how much sleep has been lost and how many miles have been travelled. Social media goes to the very bottom of the pile when we are working hard, so apologies for the lack of updates. We are working super hard and have spent in the region of £18,000 this week alone. But quitters we are not! Tomorrow is a new day. Here’s a photo of P cuddling her new teddy to make you all smile! It certainly made us all smile after a difficult week . ❤️
A very long night recovering these guys. As expected , they’re not up to much today but the sun is shining and who doesn’t need sunshine and fresh air when they’re feeling down?! Cross country pram pushing it shall be girls 🫡 send food and coffee 🤣#florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dogsofinstagram

He’s currently in foster in Kent with our lovely Chloe and is raring to find a place to call home ❤️ he’s going to need either a catio or someone who is happy to take him out on a harness #florisfriendsrescue #scottishfold #catsofinstagram
**urgent appeal *** More video in comments Meet the lovely Georgie who came into us today with some kind of serious neurological issue. He was immediately rushed to our specialist vets and has been put on referral for an MRI! This is going to cost upwards of £4,000 and this is without potential treatment options after . We really do not plan for this or expect to have taken Georgie on medically. He is with a lovely foster carer for now who is going to take him to all the appointments but we belated the financial burden 🙏🏽 please please consider donating Www.florisfriendsrescue.org/donate
