Animals we have
rehomed
Over the year many hundreds of
animals have found new homes thanks to RSPCA West Dorset Branch, here are
just some of our recent success stories.
If you have adopted an animal
from us, we'd love to find out how they are getting along! Please do
email us a photo and tell us about your new pet so we can add it to this
page. (We will only publish your initials and home town.)

have successfully rehomed.

Bramble |
"Just thought you might like to see a pic of Bramble who
we got from you a year ago last April. I expect you remember her -
she was the black kitten/cat without a tail which she had
amputated when she had a bad fall and broke her leg and tail and
then her owner died.
She then had to be rushed back to your vet for surgery two days
after we had her as she had a ruptured diaphragm due to the
previous fall.
As you can see, she is a little sweetie and she, and our other
cat who is about four months older love each other to bits."

RSPCA West
Dorset found a new home for us, proving that they don't just do
cats!!
|
Water Dragons
|
We quickly
found new home too. If you are looking to rehome an
exotic pet, please do get in touch so that our rehoming coordinator
can bear you in mind should something come up. You will of
course need to be experienced and fully understand what you are
taking on!

Gala
|
Came
to us as her owners had moved away and left her to fend for
herself. She was living in some bushes for a few months
before someone called us to collect her. She wanted to
come to see you, but kept herself at arms length, making catching
her difficult. She was eventually lured into a cat trap with
a big plate of pilchards! Once in the cat pens, she became
the friendliest of cats, getting used to being cuddled and fed,
and her confidence with people restored. She has now been
rehomed, and lives with another of our cats Gizzi, getting all the
cuddles she deserves.
|
Twinkle
|
A most
gorgeous cat, was again left behind by her owners. Twinkle was
also cat trapped, and on reaching the pens was found to be in
full milk, indicating there were kittens somewhere. There was
a frantic search, and one of the neighbours, found three four-week
old kittens in the bushes. The family were reunited, and all
have been rehomed successfully. |
Humphrey
|
Humphrey was found
hanging by his back leg on a fence in Bridport. He was
taken to the local vets, but the wounds were only superficial. He
was a very shy cat when he first came in, hissing at every one,
but with a lot of time and lots of love and cuddles he came
out of himself, and became very friendly and loving. No
owner came forward, so he was castrated, and put up for adoption.
He now shares a home with Twinkle.

Chloe & Blossom

|
were two tiny, sickly kittens collected by our rehoming
co-ordinator suffering from Cat Flu. Their little eyes were
infected, and their breathing was very difficult. They were
taken straight to the vets, where we were warned they may not
survive. After hours of
nursing day and night, giving antibiotics, gently cleaning eyes,
applying eye drops, and dropper feeding, they improved slowly.
After a few weeks the kittens were unrecognisable, and turned into
the normal sort that climb on your curtains! Both have been
successfully rehomed.

Archie |
Archie came to us after
he had been abused. He had been kicked, shut in a fridge, and
then put in a cat box and shut in a car for four days with no food
or water. The police were called by a concerned neighbour, and
we were called to take in the cat. The person concerned then
moved away (address unknown), so no prosecutions could be made.
Archie came into our pens with bruising to his back & tail, and
traces of purple paint throughout his fur. What makes this
worse is that Archie was deaf! Despite his ordeal, the likes of
which we can only imagine, he seemed to respond to our care and
cuddles, and became a very loving and confident cat. He now has a
home which he deserves. He rules the roost and is a very loved
and spoilt pussy cat! Just how it should be! |
Atom
|
Atom found a loving home
with one of the RSPCA West Dorset Committee members!! |
George
|
George came to us at
6 months old. He is a seal point Birman. He was
instantly rehomed! |
Felix
|
Felix lived in a lean to on the
side of the house and was signed over as he used the lawn as
his toilet. Now he is in a home where he is suitably spoilt and
very much loved.
|
Freda & Heidi
|
Freda & Heidi
(now called Holly) -
were two stray ferrets that came to us separately and were in a
bad shape. They both had mites, fleas and ticks and
diarrhoea, and needed nursing back to health. They both now
have a very loving home together with a lady who absolutely
loves them to pieces. They live in a veritable ferret
paradise!

Daisy Dumpling
|
Daisy Dumpling Came to us at the
age of two . Not the friendliest of rabbits, but has
found a loving home with another RSPCA rabbit, Dave, who was found
dumped in a field. They are both looked after by two children, who
know that rabbits are lots of work!
