Just 10 days ago sweet Paisley was surrendered to us after her owner just couldn't cope with her declining health. For six days, Paisley has been on (very expensive) treatment for FIP and we have already seen a huge improvement. (cont) #BCWR #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #catrescue

New arrival from last night. This is little Sticky Wicket, he was dumped on us last night, covered in oil and incredibly hungry. Our amazing team have cleaned him up and already he's feeling a bit better. He'll need to be with us for a little bit yet to make sure he's better before adoption. #BCWR

On Thursday, we had a new arrival! This is Betty Choo, and she's around 8 weeks old. Poor Betty came to us with a huge, painful abscess on her cheek. It's since been lanced and cleared up, thanks to the amazing vets at Northcote, and sweet Betty is doing a lot better today! #BCWR #catsofbluesky

A picture of Betty Choo when she first arrived. Her left cheek (right in the photograph) is swollen. She's a little "torbie" kitten, meaning she's a brown tabby with ginger tabby patches.

A picture of Betty Choo today, on the 27th! She's splayed out on her back, paws in the air, and having a lovely catnap. She looks quite pleased with herself as she snoozes the evening away.

The physical and mental wellbeing being of myself and all.the volunteers is of paramount importance as rescue life really can take its toll. If we don't look after our own health needs then we won't be able to look after the animals in our care at BCWR.
