Cherry is our other female feline who is in our FIV unit. She came to us towards the end of last year all the way from Bahrain. She was one of two cats rescued together from there. While I was up at the unit trying to get pictures of all our residents, she enjoyed some fuss and did like to give some head nuzzles.

This is Tommy, he came to SFHFC all the way from Bahrain after a rough start to his life. A charity over there got in touch as they had rescued him from extreme dehydration and malnourishment and then they found he had tested positive for FIV. After taking amazing care of him and ensuring he was healthy enough to travel including vaccinating, microchipping and neutering him we were able to help and take Tommy in when he was only 8 months old… he is now 5 years old. Since coming to us in 2019 he’s settled in very well with the other FIV residents and has grown into a real handsome boy.

Here is a little video of Timmy, sent in by one of our lovely fosterers Craig. We rescued him a year ago from a local vets and we are so pleased to see how he has thrived in a loving environment. Thank you Craig, for being his soulmate.

After reading some of the lovely comments about our adorable ode boy Donald, I just couldn’t resist sharing a couple more pictures of him. We do love him so much and really are delighted that after a year with us he seems to still be going strong.

Today we are pleased to say that it’s Donald’s 1st year anniversary with us. We rescued him after he was found wandering on a busy road in Derby. He was a poor old soul, blind and deaf and weighed just over 2kg. He really was in a poor state.

We thought that we may only have him for a few weeks so made the most of each week we had and ensured he was comfortable and had all he wanted.

So to be sharing this a year on is so wonderful and we feel blessed to have been able to give him what he deserves. He really is such an adorable ode chap who has found a special place in our hearts.

Hi, we want to share this about an event that’s happening locally in Derby, UK on 17th Feb. We’ve copied some information below from the organisers of this event in the hope that some of our local supporters/followers may be able to come along, enjoy the cat film clips and in doing so help to raise some much needed funds for our charity.

We are the film distributors of ‘Cat Video Fest’, a film releasing in cinemas across the UK and Europe very soon.

As a thank you to local cat charities for the tireless work they do we are offering 10% of our ticket sales (net of VAT) as a charitable donation.

The Odeon cinema in Derby are releasing the movie on 17th February 2025.

The more tickets sold for this fun movie, the more money can be raised for the amazing work you do.

Cat Video Fest has been an annual event in the US for several years, raising over $250k for cats in need. Now for the first time, we have brought it to the UK, and it is already a hit! UK Cinemas releasing the film have enjoyed great success and their nominated local cat charities have gained beneficial PR from it, along with much needed donations.

The film is a compilation of the internet and social media cat video stars rolled into a 75 minute movie. It’s a lot of fun for all the family, and a wonderful celebration of our feline friends, making them the movie stars on the big screen.

We invite you take a look at the Cat Video Fest TRAILER HERE

Max decided he just had to help with the Lego Batmobile 😻. How they love a box to dive into. Since Max came to us in March he has been such a lovely character, but he really can be mischievous sometimes and Christmas decs haven’t stood a chance… 😺.
