Brenda's Small Animal Rescue

On this page you will find out about the cats that share my home.

I am very saddened to say that Jaffa Cakes died on July 9th 2008. My hubby and I had been out for the morning and he was fine running around the house like normal but when we came home my hubby discovered that he had died. He just looked like he had curled up in a ball and gone to sleep. We are at a loss why he died all the cats had not been able to go out for a few days as the weather had been so bad and i don't have any house plants as i know some are poisonous to animals. I took all the other cats to the vets and they were given a clean bill of health. The vet did say that he could have had a heart attack or something like that as he was the runt of the litter they are generally weaker my vet was very surprised that he survived when i first rescued him. I'm sure you can all understand that it has been a tough few weeks Honey ( Jaffa's Brother) did look for him for a couple of days but he seems to have calmed down now, my eldest cat Ben seems to have taken him under his wing.

Hi all my full name is Ben Kenobi Carter i know a very long name my mummy brenda is a big starwars fan. I am nearly 4 years old and i have lived with my mummy brenda and family since i was 10 weeks old i was their first cat. I love sleeping with mummy on her bed until daddy comes to bed and then he picks me up and puts me into the hallway. Mummy is a big softie and will let me do anything daddy is the one that tells me off  when i'm naughty. I love all the animals mummy has i even go and sit in the shed with all her rabbits.

Mummy would love to know what i get upto when i'm out because everynow and then i come home limping or bleeding and mummy has to take me to the vets. My vet is called Ann and she is very nice i always purr for her.

My cat daddy is called Rio and he lives with mummy's nephew Patrick he is a big persian cat so thats where i get my good looks and size from. My mummy cat was a small black cat called jayjay who now lives with a new owner.

INTERDUCEING FREDDIE

Hello my name is Freddie and i am nearly 4 years old.

I first came to mummy Brenda's when i was just over a year old i was very scared as the owners i had before mummy always shouted at me and didn't feed me very well. I was really ill when i first come to mummy's and she took me to place where all ill animals go and i saw a man that mummy said was a vet, i was very scared as i had never been to a vets but i was too ill to protest. The vet told mummy that i had fleas, worms, ear infection & cat flu he also said i was very thin. I didn't want to eat or drink i just wanted to sleep. The vet gave me somethink to make me feel better and the vet and mummy agreed that i would not be happy to stay in this vet hospital place, so i was allowed to go home with mummy.

Mummy fed me from a thing called a shinge & i slept in a warm dry place next to mummy's bed, my new daddy helped mummy too and i liked him.

The next few days were hard but i wanted to get better as i liked my new family their was no shouting and they cuddled me. After a week or so i started to feel alot better and mummy took me back to the vet man and he told mummy that he was very pleased with me.

Its been awhile now since those early days and i am much happyier, i still get scared when new people come to mummy and daddy's house and mummy thinks i will always be like that. Also i don't like to go out cos i find it too scarely i much prefer to stay indoors in the warm cuddled up with one of the family.

Below is some photo's of me

 INTERDUCEING POPPY POWERS.

Hi my full name is Poppy Powers Carter and i am 3 years old i live with my cat uncle Ben and the rest of the family. I came to mummys house with my cat mummy & my 4 brothers when i was only 3 days old something to do with my cat mummys owner had to move out of their house because their time their was up whatever that means. My now mummy Brenda took us all in because my humans then were family. To cut a long story short i stayed with my mummy Brenda and everyone else went to other places when i was 12 weeks old.

My mummy says i'm very good as i don't get into fights like my uncle Ben so i hardly ever need to go to the vets which is good because i don't really like going even through uncle Ben says she's nice.

I wish i was a big cat like my uncle as some people still think i'm a kitten because i'm so small but i take after my cat daddy & cat nanny who were also small cats. My mummy Brenda loves me being small as she says i'm cute and fluffy.

Below is some photo's of me.

This is my close up.

INTERDUCEING JAFFA AND HONEY CAKES THE KITTENS.

Meow to everyone my name is Jaffa Cakes and me and my brother Honey Cakes were rescued by mummy when we were only just 3 weeks old. Our cat mummy was a wild farm cat and the farms owner found us without our cat mummy and he throught she had left us all alone so he did what he throught best which was to pick us up and look after us himself. My mummy Brenda was just going to the farm shop and  thankfully she saw us and told the farm owner if he wanted to she would take us and look after us. He agreed and so started the long process for our mummy. The first thing she done was to take us home and give us some cat milk from little bottles (we didn't know but mummy has hand reared baby rabbits from 3 days old so she knew what to do) i was the weaker of the 2 of us and i couldn't suck from the bottle so mum very carefully gave it to me from a droper. That night we slept in a great box that was warm and right next to mummy's bed and she woke every 2 hours to feed us and to check we were alright. I don't know why but she was very happy when Honey and i done a little wee at 3am. The next day mummy took us to see a nice lady called Ann who we were told later was a vet. Ann was very concerned about me for some reason mummy said its cause i was so weak Ann told mummy that i was lucky i made it through the night whatever that means. You see i didn't even have the energy to move about like my brother he was much more alert. One think that we both had was alot of fleas and Ann had to spray us with this stuff that i didn't like but couldn't do much about it, what i did like through was the fact it did kill all the fleas. She also gave us some meds to stop worms in our tummys the worse thing was that Ann gave us an injection of antibotics and that hurt but she said it was for our own good. Ann did warn mummy that we may not make it, but she also knew that our mummy would try everything.

To cut a long story short mummy had a tough 10 weeks with us but we are both still here. Mummy said the highlights for her was when we first opened our eyes and when we ate meat for the 1st time and even poohed for the first time, And off course her main highlight is the fact we are still here. Ann is very surprised and happy too.

Honey Cakes is a bit bigger then me but i am very adventous where as he just follows me and gets me into trouble. But mummys a big softie and in her eyes we can do no wrong.

Mummy said that we shall stay with her always which makes me happy cos i don't want to be parted from Honey.

We are both now 7 months old and mummy, daddy and our big brothers and sister love us lots. Mummy says when the weather is nicer we can go outside for the 1st time it looks abit scarey but mummy, Ben & Poppy say its great fun so i will look forward to that
