Hello from your favourite out and about reporter at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre, Hulky Bear.
Our last pet of the month the gorgeous female cat Misty is sadly still waiting to find her forever home. Misty has been through so much in the first year of her life and she is such a sweet girl, I really hope she finds a home soon.
In this article, I would like to tell you about a very cute group of 5 week old kittens who arrived with us a few weeks ago. These four female kittens were saved in the nick of time after the shed they had been living in was about to be destroyed. There was unfortunately no sign of their mum so the kittens were rushed to The Centre to check for signs of dehydration and malnourishment. Luckily, all the kittens were in good health but my staff could tell straight away that they were feral and had probably never had any contact with humans. Once they arrived, they spent most of their time hiding away and showing my staff their little hisses.
Over the years, The Centre has dealt with hundreds of feral cats and luckily, my staff were well prepared. My staff and volunteers will now be making sure to spend lots of time with them to try and rehabilitate them in hopes they will learn that the humans are not so bad. At five weeks old kittens are just starting to develop their personalities so we are very hopeful they will come round. After only a few weeks with us, they are already making improvements, although they still hiss a bit they are now letting my staff stroke them.
The kittens will now stay with us until they are twelve weeks old and have been spayed. In the next four weeks we hope they will improve even more so that they will be able to find forever homes quickly. I am sure that once in a loving home they will blossom into lovely, friendly cats. I am so glad that we were able to save these kittens from a life on the street!
Love Hulky

PET OF THE MONTH
Huffkin & Panini
This month we would love to introduce you to a very sweet pair of male guinea pigs called Huffkin who is grey and white and his brother Panini who is white. These boys are 2 years old and have been with us since June as their owner no longer had enough time for them. They are a curious pair of guinea pigs who can be a little speedy when you try to catch them but once you have them on your lap they do really enjoy their strokes. They both LOVE their food and as soon as they know you’re coming they will squeak away in excitement. These two boys could happily live with calm children.
If you think you may be able to offer Huffkin and Panini a loving home please give the centre a call on 01243 967111 or visit our website www.crrc.co.uk.
