Hello from your favourite out and about reporter at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre, Hulky Bear.
Our previous pet of the month, the lovely female cat Speckle is still waiting to find her forever home. Sadly, we have been much quieter in the last few months for cats being adopted. However, we still have so many cats needing to come into us that we cannot help as The Centre is full. As I write my article we have over 40 cats available to view on our website, if you or anyone you know is interested in adopting please visit our website to find out more.
In this article I wanted to tell you about the largest intake of cats CRRC has ever had in one go. In total The Centre took in 42 cats and kittens from one home! None of the cats had been neutered and because of this, their owner was struggling to cope with the unmanageable number of cats they had. Sadly, for these cats they were all suffering with cat flu, which caused issues with their breathing as well as congested noses and weepy eyes, and unfortunately one of the little kittens passed just after its arrival. My animal care team has been working round the clock to provide these sweet cats with the medical care they so desperately needed. Thankfully, most of the cats have been responding well to their treatment with a few being well enough to be neutered now. Many are still being treated for their flu and they may still have a way to go yet but they are all doing well.
A few days ago I heard from my staff that one of the female cats gave birth to litter of kittens, this makes it 47 cats and kittens from this intake now. My staff told me that this cute little family are all doing really well, I can’t wait to watch them flourish under the care of my staff.
I am so pleased that The Centre was able to give all of these 42 cats and kittens a chance; we don't believe in leaving animals in need behind, regardless of their condition or age. Saving and giving second chances to animals like these is what we're proud and work hard to do, but we need your support to help us continue.
See you next time - Love, Hulky

PETS OF THE MONTH
Yo! Sushi & Itsu
This month we would love to introduce you to a lovely pair of female rabbits. Yo! Sushi and Itsu have been with us since April after their owner no longer felt they had the time for them due to work commitments and a new baby. They are sisters who are 4 and half years old and they must find their new home together. Itsu only has one eye and she is blind in her other eye, so this means she relies a lot on her sister to help her navigate the world. But they are a very sweet pair of rabbits who are happy to have strokes. They can be rehomed with children as long as they are calm as Itsu may worry about loud or sudden noises. Yo! Sushi and Itsu would also like to find an indoor home that is suitable for Itsu meaning there is only one level to their accommodation, and where they can have lots of attention.
If you think you may be able to offer Yo! Sushi and Itsu a loving home please give the centre a call on 01243 967111 or visit our website www.crrc.co.uk
