Last Sunday we drove home with little Lucifer and I'm so pleased to say he's settled right in with us. He likes to hide whenever the door opens (who knows who might be arriving?!) and he's found many hiding spots, but when he sees it just us, he demands cuddles straightaway, often flopping at our feet for full body rubs. And an admin point: we have decided to name him Louis. Close to Lucifer but a bit softer, just like his personality. Many thanks to all of you for what you do. Best, Naomi
I just wanted to say thank you so much for looking after me for the last nine weeks. I have settled very well into my new home considering I only got here yesterday. I haven't met my new siblings yet but I did smell their blankets :-) I used to be called Tina but my new family has renamed me Millie which i kinda like. Some pics for you From Millie Xx
An update from Gemma: "We've had a lovely weekend with the kittens, thank you for rescuing them and supporting us in adopting them. They all have such different personalities and strengths, learning really quickly from each other. The little male, named Kelpie is chief explorer and the girls follow. The big one, named Nessie, hid for longer while observing. Then decided shes likes cuddles and showed the wee ones the advantages of sitting still occasionally. And the other wee one, named Selkie, is playful but cautious."
Susan wanted to share this adorable pic of Tabitha living her best life. "She is an absolute delight and spends her days lounging in the sun or watching the world go by at the window."
Hana sent us this sad update on Twinkletoes: "We had 15 years with our darling Twinkletoes who passed away, here in her forever home surrounded by our love. Twinkie came to us at 12 weeks old and brought with her so much. There is a big empty space in our/ her household now she is gone."
In memory of Lila My wee girl Lila passed away peacefully in July 2025 at the age of 12. She developed a sudden saddle thrombosis and the vet had to put her to sleep. I adopted Lila (who was then named Lilac) from LCR in January 2016. She was a beautiful bengal with a sweet and loving nature. She also had an adventurous spirit and loved exploring outdoors. We had many happy times together. Following a tendon injury and surgery in 2024 Lila had to remain an indoor cat which became challenging for both of us but also brought us even closer together. I miss her terribly and she will forever be in my heart.
Tracey adopted Ashley, now called Ashi, from LCR.
Lorraine just wanted to let us know that Dave is settling in well to his new home. "He’s really come out of his shell over the last couple of days and seems settled and comfortable. He’s so friendly and affectionate we all love him already - he’s the perfect boy for us. Thank you so much for everything you do."
Sionagh thought she'd send us an update on her cat Jack, as she adopted him from us 10 years ago this year. "I can't believe it's our 10th anniversary! Jack was called Arnie at the time and Cuddles prior to that (I think). He is such a lovely cat - my best friend and family all rolled into one. We spent two years in Norfolk where he visited the nearby churchyard at night (and the abandoned garden of the thatched cottage next door, which he loved as it was so overgrown). We've been back in West Linton for over two years. In the summer, he has a habit of bringing other cats back with him for "play dates" that he organises himself. Thank you once again for making this possible!"
A message from Emma: "Toast is doing very well and is the most communicative and affectionate cat we have ever met. Despite her cat flu, she is almost free of symptoms and has a happy life in our flat. She doesn’t seem to mind not being able to go out, but is always friendly to all the family and visitors. Thank you for bringing her into our lives."
We travelled through 8 weeks ago looking to adopt Dave. My children fell in love with Neil instead. I'm happy to say he's settled in well and loves the freedom of the local woods and the cat flap. Thank you for trusting him to us Kathlynn
Chris and Max just wanted to update us on how Ted (Teddy) is doing. "After bringing him home on the 20th Dec, Ted has settled in remarkably well. He was understandably unsettled for about 24 hours but then started to relax and find his way around his new home. He's so settled! it's amazing to think he's only be here a short time! Ted is enjoying his food, keeping hydrated and finding lot's of cosy places to nap and enjoy peace and quiet, also taking himself off to bed when he's had enough hoooman company! Also, he is so affectionate, taking every opportunity for a cuddle and even a belly rub! No cat we've had before has allowed that! We are so pleased to have given Ted a forever home. He's a beautiful cat who offers so much trust and affection... we simply love having him around. We will keep you posted."
Beth and Daniel promised to send pictures, so they thought they’d send a 5 week update. "We couldn’t have met a better pair of cats. Such great personalities, and both affectionate without being anxious/clingy. Lizzie (Pepper) is a big boisterous weirdo, whilst distinguished Dusty (Toastie) is quick to remind her to behave with a couple slaps! Toastie is very peaceful girl, but likes her peace! She rarely entertains Pepper’s mischief. Likes to cuddle, but on her own terms. Can tell you it’s dinner time with a look. Pepper was frozen when we met her and hid for weeks downstairs. When she came out, she became the most affectionate, playful, and mischievouss girl overnight. She’s now more cuddly than Toastie. At night, she sleeps on the bed with us like a little hot water bottle, before pouncing on your toes. Just the perfect pair of girls."
Fiona sent us this update: "Tiggy has been with us just over a month now so I thought you might like to see how she’s doing. She’s grown and gained in confidence, and she is still an absolute sweetheart. She loves company, cuddles, and her feather toy, which she’ll carry over and drop at your feet if you’re doing something less important than playing with her (like looking at your phone - or at a work Teams meeting). She’s been less keen to explore the garden so far, but given the weather who can blame her - I’m sure once there’s a bit of warm sunshine she’ll be brave and venture outside. Thanks for introducing us to Tiggy and for all the brilliant work you do."
