Hulky Bear
Hello from your favourite out and about reporter at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre, Hulky Bear.
I am very pleased to let you all know that last month’s pet of the month the handsome male guinea pig Galaxy has now found his forever home.
In this article I want to tell you about a very sweet female cat that came into The Centre back in July. Hawaii arrived with us from a multi cat house after her owners couldn’t cope. When she arrived she was with her twelve week old kittens. Our vet gave her an initial health check before spaying her and they discovered that she was already pregnant again. Over the next few weeks Hawaii’s tummy grew huge, my staff knew she must have had quite a few kittens in there. However, to their surprise Hawaii gave birth to eight healthy kittens all by herself with no issues! The normal number of kittens that a cat would give birth to is around four to six so this was an unusually big litter and the biggest we have had in a while. My staff were able to look back and see that Hawaii would have got pregnant when her previous litter of kittens were only 10 weeks old. This is just another reason why it is so important to get your female cats spayed as they can come into season and get pregnant when their previous litter of kittens are only 8 weeks old. This lovely family are doing really well, I can’t wait to see them grow up and find their forever homes soon.

PET OF THE MONTH
This month we would love to introduce you to a handsome male cat called Lawson. Lawson has been at the rescue since May as he was not getting on with the other cats living in his neighbourhood. Lawson is 2 years old and is now looking to find a home where there are not many other cats in his local area. He is a very friendly boy who loves lots of fuss, he also enjoys playing with his toys and will follow you around to get more attention. As long as Lawson is happy he is a lovely boy but occasionally if he gets upset by something, mainly other cats he can give little nips. Lawson needs to go to a home where he is the only cat and only older or no children.
If you think you may be able to offer Lawson a loving home please give the centre a call on 01243 967111 or visit our website www.crrc.co.uk.
