HULKY BEAR
Hello from your favourite out and about reporter at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre, Hulky Bear.
I am pleased to let everyone know that our last article’s pet of the month, the very handsome male cat Reg, has now found his forever home.
In this edition’s article I wanted to tell you about the sweetest kitten who was born at The Centre recently. Little ginger Georgie has had a difficult start but my staff are doing everything they can to give him the best chance of a happy life. Georgie was born with a slight deformity in his front legs, which at four days old the vet diagnosed as compacted tendons. When Georgie was first diagnosed, our vet was hopeful that as he grew his legs would start to straighten. Unfortunately, Georgie’s progress was more gradual than the vet would have liked and he was still struggling to walk.
At four weeks old little Georgie was big enough to be fitted with splints that we hoped would help his legs straighten. His little makeshift splints are made from shortened cotton buds attached to his legs with vet tape. Although he was not overly keen on the splints to start with, he is now getting used to wearing them. Georgie wears them during the day when my staff are around so they can keep an eye on them. My staff are also continuing his therapy by encouraging him to walk with and without his little splints on.
I have my paws crossed that it will work out for Georgie and he will be able to live a happy life in the future. Your support and donations mean that CRRC can continue to support animals like Georgie on his rehabilitation journey. If you would like to see updates on Georgie’s progress do have a look at our Facebook page.
PET OF THE MONTH - Biscuit Crunch & Brandy Snap
This time we would love to introduce you to beautiful sisters Biscuit Crunch and Brandy Snap. These two bunnies arrived at The Centre back in January after their owner no longer had the time to care for them and felt it would be best for them to find a new home. Biscuit Crunch is a white, ginger and black Rex and her sister Brandy Snap is white and grey, they are both two years old. They are both sweet and friendly rabbits, but they can be a little nervous and are not that keen on being picked up. If you are calm and quiet with them, they will come over for a treat and a stroke. Biscuit Crunch and Brandy Snap would be best suited to a home with older or no children as they may worry about loud noises or sudden movements. They are really a very sweet pair that in the right home we believe would flourish.
If you think you may be able to offer Biscuit Crunch and Brandy Snap a loving home please give the centre a call on 01243 967111 or visit our website www.crrc.co.uk.
