Good morning lovely humans! If there’s one thing you do today, please consider making it being part of £1 Wednesday. Many of our animals are end of life, our direct debits are falling daily and we still have to pay each day for pain relief, nappies, laser, food, physio, hydrotherapy, litter, running cost bills such as electric and water. This is without all the specialist appointments , general vet appointments , daily medications, fuel, van maintenance, staffing, wheelchairs, cleaning products… the list goes on. We are an expensive rescue to run given the level of injury our animals have. It’s a really scary time to be a charity. If every follower did £1 today we would be in a much safer position today. Thank you 🫶🏼 #florisfriendsrescue #fyp

I have written the start of this post at least ten times and I just can’t find the right words…. We have very sadly lost our beautiful Max. Unfortunately Max had a large mass on his liver, an enlarged gallbladder and his stomach lining was very thickened. There was absolutely nothing we could have done to make him comfortable or save his life. We had to do what was right for him and lay him to rest. Many of you may remember him as the dog that narrowly avoided euthanasia for his bite history. The dog that was labelled ‘nasty’ ‘agressive’ and ‘unpredictable’. To me, he was just frightened and neglected and nothing more than a little boy that needed stability and kindness. I will always remember him as one of the challenges of my career and a dog who was completely misunderstood. From the moment I met Max I knew everyone had him wrong. He carried a sadness I hadn’t seen for a long time in a domestic dog, he had just given up on himself because everyone else had around him too. Max was locked in sheds, tied to washing lines and passed from home to home, from kennel to kennel until he was finally booked in for euthanasia. Just before his appointment, we managed to step in and get him transferred into our care. I knew from the moment I met him he was going to get the future he deserved. Max was not only a loving, kind, gentle boy but he was full of so much personality. He taught myself and my team so many life lessons and I would do all of it again for him in a heartbeat. It has taken an army to give this dog the last year of life that he deserved. His absolutely incredible foster mum, Mel, who ended up recently adopting him, offered him stability, love and kindness for the first time in his life and we are so grateful he experienced that and didn’t die in rescue. There will never be any words to do Maxy justice. I will never forget him and the painstaking journey we went on as well as the amazing people he brought me together with, who also played a vital part in his story. A thank you to all of you online that helped us help him too, you were all part of his happy ever after. Maxy, you were so loved by many. I am so sorry your entire life wasn’t the one you deserved but I hope we did you proud as you certainly did us. Seeing your lifeless body made me realise how precious life is and how we truly do need to be kinder. My heart goes out to you, his mum, Mel. You were his guardian angel. Sleep well my boy. You will be forever a part of our legacy here and when times get tough I will always think of you and your bravery. Natalia x

Meet our newest little arrivals… ❤️ A few days ago, we welcomed six stray kittens into our care after they were found living behind a butcher’s shop in truly heartbreaking conditions. As you’d expect, they’ve had very little positive human interaction, so they’re understandably frightened and unsure of people. But that’s okay, we’re going to change that. With plenty of love, patience, and daily handling, we’re confident these little ones will learn to trust and grow into wonderful family pets. They’ve already been to the vets for health checks, flea and worm treatments, and their first examinations. Next on the list are their vaccinations and microchips. As you can imagine, taking in six kittens at once has come with a significant veterinary bill, and there are still more costs to come. If you’d like to help us give these babies the best possible start, we’d be so grateful for any donation, no matter how small. ❤️ For any homing enquiries please drop us a contact message via the website and please note we only home in pairs 🌐 Donate online: www.florisfriendsrescue.org/donate 💙 PayPal: donate@florisfriendsrescue.org 📱 Text Donations: Text FLORI to 70085 to donate £1. To donate between £2 and £20, text FLORI followed by the amount (for example, FLORI 7 to donate £7). Every donation helps us provide the veterinary care, food, and support these kittens need while they learn that people can be kind. #florisfriendsrescue #kittens #straykittens #kittensofig #kittenoftheday

**Available to meet in Kent, PLEASE share** Say hello to the unbelievably handsome Darwin! Darwin's world was turned upside down when his beloved owner sadly passed away, leaving him alone in the home for several months. Naturally, we were concerned about how he would cope with such a huge change and the loss of the only home he had ever known. Thankfully, Darwin surprised us all. Rather than being unsettled by his move into foster care, he seemed delighted to have company again and quickly settled into his new surroundings, making himself right at home from day one. This charming gentleman is everything you could want in a companion cat. He loves curling up next to you on the sofa, sleeping at the foot of your bed, and making biscuits while enjoying a fuss. Wherever you go, Darwin goes! Darwin is a laid-back, affectionate chap who simply enjoys being around people and would make wonderful company for someone looking for a loyal feline friend. At 9 years young, Darwin still has plenty of love to give. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and blood tested. He is a fairly independent cat and would be perfectly happy in a home where his owners go out to work, provided he has safe outdoor access via a cat flap. As Darwin has never lived with other pets, we feel he would be happiest as the only animal in the home. Older, respectful children should be absolutely fine. Darwin has lost everything he has ever known, yet he remains incredibly kind, trusting, and affectionate. We know that being an older cat, and not having the colouring that often catches people's attention, may mean he gets overlooked. But those who meet him quickly realise what a truly special boy he is. He is a little diamond who deserves a loving family to call his own once again. Darwin is currently being fostered in Canterbury and is available to meet.

A very warm welcome to a very shy Tilly. This gorgeous little girl came from a desperately sad situation. It’s so sad to see her so nervous of people. Only up from here little one 🫶🏼 #florisfriendsrescue #cat #catsfollowers #catagram #catsofinstagram

Elle had a check-up on her front leg a week or so ago, and her X-ray showed some deterioration in her elbow. So today she had a lubricant injection under anaesthetic to help keep her comfortable and support her mobility. We honestly can’t believe how far she’s come with just one front leg! She still prances around without a care in the world and continues to amaze us every single day. She really is the most inspirational not so little dog. ❤️ As a reward for being such a brave girl today, we treated her to a beautiful new safety collar from @doggyboho . 🫶🏼 Doesn’t she look absolutely amazing? #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dog #rescuedog #dogosofinstagram

We’ve been struggling with Nellie’s behaviour recently, so we brought her annual front-leg X-rays forward and ran a full blood panel to rule out any underlying pain or health issues. The good news is that she’s in great shape. The bad news is that she is just being a total banana. We’re taking things right back to basics and hoping to gently guide her back towards being a calm, well mannered dog who doesn’t resort to using her nashers when she doesn’t get her own way. Huge thanks, as always, to the team at VetShack for taking such wonderful care of our screaming child and getting her sorted quickly enough for her to return to the rescue and continue causing absolute mayhem. #florisfriendsrescue #vetshack #dogsofinstagram #dog #rescuedog

She’s home and dry from the referal hospital! She was the best girl as always, so calm and kind and happy to be poked and prodded! The bad news is, there is no definitive reason her bladder keeps failing her… she has so many health conditions that all play a part and sadly there is no miracle cure 😔 We have been given a few trial and error ‘management options’ to give her more time as a happy little dog. She is booked in again with our local vets on Monday for some more tests to help us understand her little body somewhat more. Over the next few months we will be trialling the options given to us to see if any can help her find a happier balance. We are Sorry it is not an exciting result for you guys to read but please know we will be trying so so hard to get this right for Patsy . We know she’s here for a good time not a long time so we need to make sure that good time is the very best 🫶🏼 please remember all the dogs in our care haven’t been adopted out for a reason….because they’re either end of life or with severe health conditions thank you all who donated! We are still around £1500 under target so please keep sharing the post 🙏🏽 lots of love, Team Flori x #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop

A little update on Patsy 💔 Sadly, this isn’t the update we were hoping to share, but there is still hope. We’ve been dealing with serious ongoing issues with Patsy’s bladder, which we believe may be linked to her inflammatory bowel disease. Our local vets have been absolutely incredible and have explored every possible avenue, but despite their efforts, they remain completely stumped as to why she keeps becoming unwell. The reality is that time is against us. There may come a day when Patsy becomes resistant to the antibiotics that are currently keeping her going, and we could be faced with saying goodbye to her far too soon. We refuse to believe there isn’t an answer somewhere, and we’re determined to keep fighting for her. Tomorrow, we are taking Patsy to Southfields Specialist Hospital to meet with their specialist medical team. She will likely undergo extensive testing and potentially exploratory surgery. We’re not yet sure whether everything will happen tomorrow or over the following days, but what we do know is that this next stage of her care is going to be incredibly expensive, with costs likely running into many thousands of pounds once again. We can’t seem to catch a break! At the same time, donations have continued to fall day after day. We completely understand that times are hard and that many people are struggling themselves, but if you could spare just £1 for little Patsy, it would make such a difference. It’s heartbreaking to think that these dogs’ lives often depend on people stopping for a moment and choosing not to scroll past posts like this. Every single donation, no matter how small, helps us keep fighting for dogs like Patsy. We will, of course, keep everyone updated as soon as we know more about how she is doing. Please, if you can, donate today. We want to give Patsy every possible chance to stay as happy, playful, and full of life as she is in all of our videos. ❤️🙏🏽 🐾 Monthly or Single Donations :Make a one off gift or set up a recurring donation to provide ongoing support. 🐾 Online Donations: www.florisfriendsrescue.org/donate 🐾 Sponsor Patsy: www.florisfriendsrescue.org/sponsor 🐾 Text Donations: Text ‘FLORI’ to 70085 to donate £1.

**Available to meet in Kent, still no interest!** Meet Polly & Gus, a one year old bonded pair, Polly and Gus didn’t get the start they deserved. When their beloved person’s dementia worsened, these gentle siblings were left trying to make sense of the world from a bathroom. With the help of social services, they came into our care, frightened, unsure but yet very calm and brave. Since arriving, these two have blossomed from shy kittens into total lap cats. They’re gentle, kind, and affectionate with people and children, and they do well with other cats. Each day their confidence grows, they’re playing more, seeking cuddles, and settling into being relaxed, happy cats. They truly are golden little souls with so much love to give. We would still class them as shyer cats but in the right home, with time we have no doubt that they will be confident kitties!

Happy Saturday, everyone! ☀️ The sun is shining again, and we thought there’s no better day to show our appreciation for our incredible feral cat rehabilitation volunteers. These amazing people give up their time every week to patiently earn the trust of cats who have been let down by humans. Through kindness, dedication, and endless patience, they help frightened and wary cats learn that not all people are bad. Thanks to their hard work, countless cats have learned to trust again and have gone on to find loving forever homes, rather than being returned to farms or life on the streets. To all of our volunteers: thank you for the difference you make every single day. Your compassion changes lives, both feline and human. ❤️🐾 #FeralCatRehab #CatRescue #ForeverHomes #RescueCats #CommunityHeroes

A few days ago, we welcomed 8 week old Alma and Basil into our care. ❤️ These two little kittens were sadly found living in bins behind a butcher’s shop, facing a very uncertain future. When they first arrived, they were frightened, withdrawn, and unsure of the world around them. Just look how far they’ve come in only a few days! We’re already starting to see their playful, curious kitten personalities shine through, which is exactly what we love to see. Watching them grow in confidence makes it all worth while. Alma and Basil will be looking for a forever home together, where they can continue their journey side by side and enjoy the happy, safe life they deserve. #florisfriendsrescue #kittens #cutekitten #rescuekitten #kittenoftheday

**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. 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.

End of life… It’s not something we can be joyous about, but it is something we can find joy in each day. What a privilege it is to be able to prolong their time on this earth, while also making it as magical as possible for them. Winniepeg can’t manage long on her walks anymore, but she still gets to go out just as long as the others. When she doesn’t want to do any more in her wheels, she asks to go in her pram… she is then massaged and cuddled whilst the others potter around. She absolutely loves it ❤️ Your donation helps us continue providing Winnipeg with the whole world. Thank you #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dog #endoflife #dogsofinstagram

Our lovely Susan and Elle went for their annual front leg X-rays today! It’s super important that we X-ray paralysed dogs front legs regularly, even if they are showing no signs of struggling. This enables us to catch anything early and also monitor osteoarthritis ! Many dogs don’t show pain, so it’s really important to check these things and not rely on them presenting symptoms when it is usually too late! Huge thanks as always to the lovely VetShack for looking after our girls 🫶🏼 #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dogsarethebest #dogrescue #dog

𝐀 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞... 💛 ...to May and Joon! These two beautiful girls have both endured incredibly difficult starts in life, yet they remain some of the sweetest cats you could ever hope to meet. Both are wonderfully affectionate and have proven themselves to be fantastic with children, other cats, and even calm, cat friendly dogs. May and Joon are currently being fostered together and get along very well. While they didn't arrive together and don't need to be adopted as a pair, they could happily be homed either separately or together.

As many of you may know, Winniepeg and Summer have been heavily struggling with their mobility and we have exhausted every medical option now. To keep them more comfortable and to still be able to enjoy the outside world we needed new custom chairs with variable axels (this takes some pressure off the front legs) . These are very pricey chairs and would have been a big financial hit for us as a rescue. Luckily the amazing Michael fundraised enough for us to cover the whole lot. Isn’t that just incredible . A huge thanks to Michael, all involved in the fundraiser and his company for matching the donation so that we could buy both sets of wheels . You guys are just amazing 🫶🏼. #florisfriendsrescue #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogrescue #doglife

You’ll never rehabilitate a feral….send them out to a farm they all said….. so far , nearly every single one of our ferals has been unwell and needed extensive veterinary treatment (what people think is cat flu usually isn’t with ferals and they require respiratory panels to actually find out the true issue, cat flu is just how it presents) . Had we let them back out they would have suffered greatly, like many others do. Ferals absolutely can rehabilitate into domestic pets with the correct approach and the right environment and these guys are living proof of that ❤️ yes it took nearly a year for these guys but boy was it worth it seeing them like this with their new families 🫶🏼 #feral #cats #catsofinstagram #catslovers #catlife

**𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤** Say hello to Mr Teddy Norris and Mrs Tabitha Norris, They only recently married, when Teddy Norris arrived to rescue and decided she was the cat for him. Since the day he moved into Flori's it was love at first meow. We don't wish for them to divorce so we have decided to search for a nice marital abode for them to grow their love in. Both cats have had an extremely tough life. Teddy was straying for 4 years and was definitely a dumped pet, he is just too affectionate to have been any kind of feral, he will roll over and do all the gymnastics to get your attention. Tabitha was also a stray girl and is also a highly affectionate cat but we would class her as shy if she doesn't know you. Both cats are just wonderful and have so much to give someone! They will need a home that has experience in letting timid cats come round in their own time and encouraging them to interact with people (Teddy Norris will have no issues, Tabitha will be the one who will nee confidence building). You will get out what you put in with these two. They have such kind, soft and gentle natures but are still a little nervous of life and they just that special someone to help them flourish even more than they have here.It's a shame to see two lovely cats like this stuck in a rescue enclosure when what they really need is a family to help them grow. Both cats are very food motivated which makes it super easy to interact with them and get their attention and affection. They are also fine with being picked up and put in carriers, being gently brushed and being petted. Mrs & Mrs Norris have a full bill of health, are blood tested, neutered, vaccinated and chipped and Mr Teddy Norris is about to have a dental. Teddy is around 5 /6 years old and Tabitha around 7/8 years old. It is truly amazing to see how kind both cats are after having been let down by humans so many times. They really are a special couple, who have clung onto each other for comfort and love and we really hope we can find that special human to continue their happy ever after journey. It really is their time to shine now! Mr & Mrs Norris are fantastic with all cats and can live in a multi-cat home no bother. This lovely pair require cat flap access, no busy main roads and no heavily built up areas. Both cats are available to meet in Chartham Hatch, Kent.

Say hello to the unbelievably handsome Darwin! Darwin's world was turned upside down when his beloved owner sadly passed away, leaving him alone in the home for several months. Naturally, we were concerned about how he would cope with such a huge change and the loss of the only home he had ever known. Thankfully, Darwin surprised us all. Rather than being unsettled by his move into foster care, he seemed delighted to have company again and quickly settled into his new surroundings, making himself right at home from day one. This charming gentleman is everything you could want in a companion cat. He loves curling up next to you on the sofa, sleeping at the foot of your bed, and making biscuits while enjoying a fuss. Wherever you go, Darwin goes! Darwin is a laid-back, affectionate chap who simply enjoys being around people and would make wonderful company for someone looking for a loyal feline friend. At 9 years young, Darwin still has plenty of love to give. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and blood tested. He is a fairly independent cat and would be perfectly happy in a home where his owners go out to work, provided he has safe outdoor access via a cat flap. As Darwin has never lived with other pets, we feel he would be happiest as the only animal in the home. Older, respectful children should be absolutely fine. Darwin has lost everything he has ever known, yet he remains incredibly kind, trusting, and affectionate. We know that being an older cat, and not having the colouring that often catches people's attention, may mean he gets overlooked. But those who meet him quickly realise what a truly special boy he is. He is a little diamond who deserves a loving family to call his own once again. Darwin is currently being fostered in Canterbury and is available to meet.

𝐀 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞... 💛 ...to May and Joon! These two beautiful girls have both endured incredibly difficult starts in life, yet they remain some of the sweetest cats you could ever hope to meet. Both are wonderfully affectionate and have proven themselves to be fantastic with children, other cats, and even calm, cat friendly dogs. May and Joon are currently being fostered together and get along very well. While they didn't arrive together and don't need to be adopted as a pair, they could happily be homed either separately or together.
