Scotty and Dax - An Unbreakable Bond
May 2022
We delight in watching our beloved furkids flourish in their happily-ever-after homes.
Life began tough for Scotty and Dax, the only surviving siblings found on a property in Rydal. Scotty's tale holds a particularly harrowing chapter, where he nearly lost his front left paw to a hostile tomcat. He was swiftly rescued and transported to the vet for immediate care, where they managed to salvage remnants of his paw.
Miraculously, Scotty adapted to his new impediment just fine. His resilience is inspiring, but it wasn't solely his strength that saw him through the ordeal—Dax his sister, played a crucial role in his recovery. Her undying love and sisterly instincts led her to incessantly lick Scotty's wounds, staunching the bleeding until he received medical aid.
Today, Scotty and Dax are inseparable, their bond stronger than ever. Their story is a testament to the unique connection they share, serving as a palpable embodiment of what it means to be a 'bonded pair'. Their love for each other radiates just as brightly as the day they were rescued.

Charlie and Pearl - Forever Together
Jan 2022
Charlie and Pearl, best described as two peas in a pod, were mere kittens when we rescued them. Their start was rocky; they were both incredibly timid, hissing at human interaction, and arrived at our BMD Cat Welfare Group in a pitiful state - weak and frail. However, their transformation has been stunningly heartwarming.
Tiny Pearl, no bigger than the palm of your hand, and her hefty brother, Chunky Charlie, flourished under our care. Filled with ample love, attention, and care, they glowed with renewed health and vigour rapidly. It was almost as though they blossomed right in front of our very eyes into the delightful duo they are today.
Pearl and Charlie remain as inseparable as ever, each day loving their shared adventure called 'life'. A life with a splendid window view nonetheless! Their joy is truly infectious and a testament to the power of a little love and care.
We couldn't be happier that these tiny treasures found their forever home together, where they continue to revel in their companionship.
