Amy has been in care since she was just 5 weeks old, she is now 7 years.

During Amy's time in care she was adopted out twice but sadly returned both times as she did not cope with the change and withdrew both times. It was decided then that she would remain in care at Butterfly Wings Animal Rescue for as long as she wanted.

Amy is a very shy girl who fears strangers which made it hard for anyone coming to meet her. Unfortunately most people looking to adopt a cat want a cat that will interact with them at a meet.
Amy is super gentle and affectionate, she does not have a mean bone in her body. She gets along well with the other cats and the dogs and is no trouble at all.

Amy is always kept safe inside with access to the outdoor enclosure, she really likes to lay in the hammocks in the sun or in the grass under the logs but  can also be found snuggled up on a bed inside with one of her foster mates.

Dimity has been with Butterfly Wings Animal Rescue since she was a kitten, she is now 5 years old.

Dimity is a beautiful affectionate little girl who gets along with everyone. She's so laid back and easy going once she feels comfortable in her environment. But she needs time to feel comfortable, something people don't seem to have for her.

She was adopted once, 4 years ago. on her first night in her new home, terrified with the change of homes she escaped through the bathroom window and went on the run for 5 days before we found and trapped her. Dimity was then returned back to us where she has been ever since.

Dim has never had an interest since.

Fate is another who came  to us 8 years ago as a hissy, spitty very scared little kitten, not much has changed.

Fate is still a very scared little girl and whilst she only hisses at you these days she does not deal well with meeting strangers and hides, this makes her meet and greets almost impossible. 

She is a very pretty little girl but a little girl with a big attitude.

Medical notes

Can you believe that Kenzi has been with Butterfly Wings Animal Rescue for 6 years and she has never had anyone show interest in her!  She a pretty little thing but super shy. Kenzi is a sweet and affectionate girl, she's the one who sits at the back and watches to ensure its ok to come forward for a cuddle.
Once she is sure of you and her surroundings she is more than happy to soak up all the loving you have to offer.

Olivia has come along way since we took her in all those years ago.

Nearly 7 years ago Olivia was found with her brother Jude, they were just babies at 6 weeks old. Jude found his family almost straight away.
You see Olivia was very scared when I first started looking after her but she has learnt that she does not need to be fearful all the time now.
She still finds it hard to be confident around strangers and needs time to feel comfortable with you but if your patient with her it wont take long before she is calling out for your affection and wanting to show hers.
Because Olivia was so shy with strangers at any meet and greets she had they did not go well and she has remained in care with Butterfly Wings Animal Rescue.

Sylvie came to us 7 years ago heavily pregnant with her last litter of kittens.

She had 7 babies and fostered another 3, she was such a good mum!

All her babies were adopted and Sylvie remained in our care. Sylvie had been a street cat and was a little skitzy so no one showed interest in her. 

2019 a lump under her front arm was discovered, removed and sent off for testing. The results came back as an aggressive form of Cancer, one that we were told would return in other lymph nodes or her lungs with a life expectancy of 12 months...2 years later and *touch wood* no more signs of Cancer but we know our time with her is limited. 

Until her time comes she will remain in care with Butterfly Wings Animal Rescue where she is loved and spoilt by her carers.

Wendy is one of our most complex cats.

She was rescued from our local pound when she was just a kitten 6 years ago.

Wendy was very very scared and suffered from Entropian and Eye Agenesis  in both eyes. She had a couple of meet and greets which were never going to go well with her temperament. She would display her distaste in any possible future families by hissing, spitting and running away to hide....not much has changed.

Even today after 6 years the only way her carer can touch her is a quick pat whilst she is eating, then she runs to safety.

Wendy had surgery on her eyes some years ago when the Entropian and Eye Agenesis became that bad she was at risk of losing her sight. Her Vet Dr Don removed a section of the corners of her mouth and made new eye lids for her which save her eye sight.

What a charmer Zach is!
anyone who meets this boy falls in love, he demands that you do!
a very affectionate love bug of a boy who would love to share his time with you. Hes great with other cats and dogs as well...
He is bonded with his sister Carly and will only be rehomed as a pair.

 Carly and Zach came into care with their litter mates when they were just 5 weeks old, they are now 6 years old.

When Carly and Zach came to us with their 3 litter mates they we were so scared of everyone and everything. I remember they would all hiss and spit when I would feed and care for them,  but in time they learnt to trust humans again.

3 of their litter mates found their forever homes and Zach and Carly's forever home never came along.
 Zach and Carly are a bonded pair and whilst Carly copes quite well away from Zach, Zach doesn't cope as well on his own. They are more often than not found sleeping together.
Zach is very affectionate and will throw himself on his back for a belly rub, he's great at head butts too but he does get very scared when people pick him up. Carly on the other hand, loves cuddles and like Zach will throw herself on her back for a good long belly rub also.
Carly will tend to go a little over board with the affection, she just cant help herself and needs to show her people just how much she loves them.

Zach suffers from constant snuffles making it hard to adopt him out and we wont separate him from Carly so she has stayed by his side the whole time.

They are happy and safe and we are more than happy to have them for as long as needed.
