Many cats brought into Worthing Cat Welfare Trust have been abused or neglected and others are injured or have
chronic illnesses. These animals are taken in by dedicated fosterers where veterinary expenses and special
needs are paid for by the trust. These cats can never be 'cured' but with our help and yours, they can live
happy and full lives.
Below are just a few of the cats we are currently caring for, more will be added in the next few days.

Buffy
Buffy is just 3 years old and is a very nervous cat. She doesn't know or will not use a litter tray. She has a
permanent home now where she is able to have full freedom during the day and shelter with a heated bed at night.
Buffy will need to stay in foster care for the rest of her natural life and at her age, this could well be the best part of another 20 happy years.

Coco
Coco is just a one year old very lovely little cat. He needs ongoing veterinary treatment because he has a restricted
trachea. If he gets an infection or gets stressed and it is not caught in time he has great difficulty breathing
and ends up in an oxygen tent at the vets. Coco is yet another pusscat who will need to be fostered for the rest of his natural days.

Wallace and Grommet
These two are 2 years old and their mummy didn't teach them to use a litter tray so no-one wants them. They are also extremely nervous which is part of their problems.
Wallace and Grommet will need to be fostered for the rest of their full and happy natural lives.

Bonnie and Shreddie
These lovely cats are appoximately 8 years old. They have been rehomed twice and cannot take to an ordinary home
life. They become anti-social and 'mess' around the house. They have now been taken in by one of our very dedicated fosterers
who is able to cope with any problems that arise. Both will stay together at their new foster home for the rest of their happy natural lives.

Raff
Raff is young, gentle, sweet natured, loves people and enjoys cat company, that’s lots of boxes ticked on the rehoming requirements. Unfortunately he has two complications which could make it very difficult. When he was trapped in June of this year, he was very timid, an entire male, stray with an appalling skin condition. Neutering him and treating this was a priority, he had very little fur on his body and bad lesions on his legs, chest and tail. He also felt very hot to touch. The usual veterinary treatment is to eliminate fleas, in case of flea allergy and a steroid injection to reduce heat, discomfort and promote fur growth. Raff had two such injections spaced several weeks apart and his rehabilitation programme soon resulted in the beautiful boy he now is.
Unfortunately there was no improvement in his skin. He was also developing an increased appetite, thirst and weight loss, we were carefully monitoring his condition but shortly before his veterinary review, Raff collapsed and only immediate emergency treatment saved his life. Much to the astonishment of our vets, Raff has proved to be a diabetic – very rare in such a young cat, but if a cat is susceptible to diabetes, steroids can exacerbate it, so now poor Raff is still undergoing frequent blood testing to stabilise the condition, following which we will hopefully be able to find him a suitable home. He may well need daily insulin injections (not difficult and he doesn’t mind) but as yet he is not on the homing list.

Bill (left) and Ben (right)
Bill & Ben are two very beautiful Tabby & White cats that were trapped as older kittens. They were feral and too old to tame down so stayed in care.
Even with the love and care that they are both given, both remain very timid and therefore will not be able to be re-homed in a normal family.
