Dear Readers, yesterday we ‘took delivery’ of our latest foster cat, Jolene. She’s about a year old, and the sweetest, friendliest little cat, but has had a bit of a rough start – she was found dragging herself along the road by a kind passer-by, who took her to the vet. She was X-rayed, and it was found that she had a hip fracture. After nearly two months ‘cage rest’ she’s now ready for re-hab, which involves some physiotherapy. Who knew that I’d be a cat physiotherapist?

Actually, Jolene moves around pretty well – she doesn’t seem to feel confident about jumping, which is fortunate at the moment. Hopefully in a home environment she’ll gradually gain some mobility and confidence so that she can be rehomed, but in the meantime she’s finding her way around the ‘cat room’, eating all her food and enjoying exploring.

More updates soon!
