We are a small and perfectly formed cat rescue centre based in Oakhill, Somerset. We adore all the cats in our care, from the work/flea-infested strays and the timid feral, to the lap cats; we treat them all with the respect, love and patience they need. Have children, near a road etc. contact us!

Story

Two very special senior cats have just arrived at Compassion for Cats at OakHill, and they desperately need our help.

Misty and Tiggy are 15-year-old siblings who have spent their entire lives together in a home. Suddenly they have found themselves in rescue, confused and frightened at this stage of their lives.

Misty, the beautiful ginger girl, came to us in very poor condition. She is extremely thin and has been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. She had been handed into a vet and was facing being put to sleep, but despite everything she has been through she is incredibly affectionate and still loves human attention. We believe she deserves the chance to be treated and cared for, not to have her life cut short.

Her brother Tiggy is understandably struggling with the change. He is very shut down at the moment and has gone off his food since arriving. He allows gentle strokes but is clearly overwhelmed by losing the only home he has known for 15 years.

Senior cats in rescue are always the hardest to place, but we are determined to give Misty and Tiggy the comfort and care they deserve. Misty will require ongoing veterinary treatment and specialist veterinary food, which can only be obtained through vets and is very costly.

We are hoping that once they have had time to settle and we understand their medical needs, we can find them a long-term foster home with someone patient, kind, and home often enough to help them feel safe again for their remaining years.

Right now we urgently need help to cover their veterinary care, medication, and specialist food.

If you can donate even a small amount, it will make a huge difference to these two gentle senior souls and give them the chance to enjoy comfort and love in their later years.

Thank you for supporting Compassion for Cats at Oak Hill and helping Misty and Tiggy get the second chance they deserve.
