'Cats from the Canaries in need of new homes'
Can you give one of these lovely cats a forever home?
At our farmhouse in Fuerteventura, as well as our resident farm cats, we also have many cats that are desperately looking for a new home. Out there we have a serious lack of good homes, you may have read our previous newsletter which mentioned the huge number of owned cats being abandoned when their owners leave the island.
We have started 24 cats on the pet passport scheme, so they can enter the UK without having to go into quarantine. This is not our usual way of homing but we are desperate. On the 7th April the first 5 cats from Fuerte arrived in the UK and are already settled into wonderfull new homes. Then on the 7th July 10 more arrived (see our News & Events page for more details).
It's very expensive to import a pet to the UK, so we are frantically trying to find sponsors for each cats flights.
These cats need and deserve to have a safe and loving home – forever.
If you can adopt one of our special cats into your home, please contact Jenny for more information.
Home checks and an adoption donation apply.

I'm Cybil Female, approximalty 11 months old
Ready for UK entry after October 2010
I was abandoned by my previous owners. After Twinkle found me I was going to become a farm cat and live outside but my ears are very pale and were getting burnt from the sun. So I really need a home. I can live with other cats and never fight but I prefer people and a nice lap to curl up on.
I'm Sooty Female, 8 months old
Ready for UK entry June 10th 2010
When she was just 6 weeks old, Sooty obviously thought that climbing into a nice warm car engine was a safe place to sleep, until early the next morning the car was turned on by the unsuspecting driver. Luckily Sooty did not get hurt as the engine started but she was extremely thin and crying in fear. She is very timid and needs a special home with no young children but she can go to a home with other cats.
I'm Pearl Female, 6 months old "RESERVED" C&T E Ready for UK entry after October 2010
She has been with us since November 2009. She was caught for sterilising during our neutering campaign and we quickly noticed that she has one eye missing and the other is damaged, so her vision is severely impaired. She is a little bit timid but once she feels secure she settles down for a cuddle.
We do not antisipate Pearl having any future problems with her eyes but any vet bills relating to her eye's which may occur after she has been rehomed can be covered by us.
Dyson Male 2 years old !! RESERVED !! C&T E Ready for UK entry after June 10th 2010
Dyson was found as a stray in April 2009 with a very bad ear infection, the infection was so deep his balance as been affected and to this day he walks with a wobble. He also suffers from diarrhoea from time to time and despite having many diagnostic tests the vet does not know what is causing it. We are continuing to investigate the problem and hope we find a solution soon. He is very loving, easy going and gets on great with other cats.
Once Dyson is rehomed any related medical problems with his diarrhoea which may occur after he has been rehomed can be covered by us.
I'm Hero Male, 7 months old !! RESERVED !! CM Ready for UK entry after July 2010
We don't know how, but his mother had been killed and by the time Hero was found by a little boy he was scarcely alive, he is another the vet thought may not live to see the next day. Hero is a tough little guy and has made a wonderful come back. Hero can go on his own, with other cats or one of his friends Molly or Piggy.
I'm Piggy Female, 7 months old !!RESERVED!! T&G D
Ready for UK entry after July 2010
Don't let her name put you off, she just loves 'food'. She had been thrown over a garden wall, the owner of the house took her to the vets and handed her in. Despite her terrifying ordeal and rough treatment Piggy was in pretty good condition and just needed some where safe and loving to recover. Now she really needs a home. She can bit a little bit shy until she knows you but she gets on withother cats so we would like her to go to a new home that has already got cats or to a home with one of her friends, Hero or Molly.
Molly & Piggy Piggy
Molly Female 7 months old !! RESERVED !! T&G D Ready for UK entry after July 2010
Molly and her siblings were found in a plastic bucket outside a school, they had been deliberately abandoned. Molly loves other cats and people. She can go to a home on her own or with existing cats or with her friend Piggy (photo above).
ARCHIE Male - 8 months old !!RESERVED!! A&V G
Ready for UK entry after October 2010
I was found by a soldier in the main town of Puerto del Rosario. I was very sick and just sitting by the side of a very busy road. Iv'e had medicine and been treated for fleas and worms and now I'm so much better. I'm very sweet and love cuddles.
ZORRO Male - 10 months old !! RESERVED !! A&V G
Ready for UK entry after October 2010
I'm Zorro. A very nice tourist in Fuerteventura contacted Twinkle after she saw me living out off the bins at the zoo. I was very thin and hungry and had lots of fleas and I am completely deaf. Being white and having to live outside in the strong sunlight is not good for any white cats as we can easily get skin cancer. Since Twinkle picked me up I have made good friends with Archie and we are going to a nice new home together.
This is Archie and me with our new Mum and Dad - roll on November
Thank you
