Aston has been with us since January, yet still no

Aston has been with us since January, yet still no interest 😢

Aston is a fun-loving cat who loves his fuss and cuddles as much as he does his food… Ok, maybe not quite as much!! He has so much companionship to offer, he would make the perfect ‘work from home’ buddy ❤️

This handsome chap has an ongoing skin issue. Aston will likely need lifelong medication. However, the cost of this is less than £20 per month. 💊

Before Aston came into our care, he suffered from bladder crystals. To prevent any further issues we decided to help support him with a specialised diet. We can go into more detail regarding his allergy and specialised diet with anyone interested in adopting him. 🥰

We ask every adopter to ensure they are fully aware of the commitment they are making when adopting an animal especially when they have ongoing veterinary needs. This sweet lad deserves this to be a forever home ❤️

Without a doubt, you will have to meet Aston to fully appreciate how adorable he is and what a loving lad he is 🥰

Aston can potentially live with another cat if introduced correctly. Please remember Aston will need a specialised diet, you will need to consider the feeding logistics if you have another cat 🐈

Please click on the link below to find out more about Aston and the sort of home he’s looking for:

https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/cat-adoption-questionnaire/

Even if you can’t offer Aston the forever home he needs, you can still help by sharing his plea ❤️

Ello to all my fans 👋🥰 For those who don't

Ello to all my fans 👋🥰

For those who don't know me... I know it's hard to believe!! My name is Sash 🐶

There I was the other day scrolling through Facebook and to my shock I saw a post from my fellow ‘friend’ Blue... At first, I thought how dare she describe herself as the Queen of sass, that's my title!! Then I questioned why I’d never been asked to write my own post... 🙄

Whilst I love my humans here at the sanctuary, this isn't home. I would love nothing more than to be curled up on a sofa or my cosy bed in my forever home. A year is a long time for all of us but to be in kennels for a year makes me feel sad that no one wants me 😢

I can give so much to the right person, I'm loyal, loveable and sassy some may even describe me as a little bit stubborn... I don't think I am, I just know my own mind and know what I want to do 🤣

I love nothing more than to run around playing with my toys. I know I'm an older girl but give me a tennis ball and suddenly I'm back to my puppy years ❤️

I'm looking for a cosy quiet home, where I can be given the time I need to settle. I can be a little anxious about life to start with, I will need an adult-only home and one where I don't need to share my humans with other animals... I'm not great at sharing but I can't be perfect at everything 🫣

Surely there's someone out there who can give me the home I need? In return, I can be your loyal canine companion ❤️

Finally, I can hear Deidre, she's my canine carer for the day, my breakfast will soon be here 😜 With that in mind, I'm going to nip back to bed ready to have breakfast in bed... No one need know I've done this post 🤣

Lots of love and slobbery kisses,
Sash ❤️🐶❤️ Aka Queen of Sass 👸

💖 New arrivals 💖

Please meet Lily & Coco this Mother and Daughter duo are inseparable, although they both have their own personality and very different needs. We have assessed their needs as individuals before deciding the type of home they need together to ensure both are happy. ❤️

Lily is 3 years old. She has the most stunning long tabby fur which she proudly shows off. Coco is 2 years old and has the softest, black shiny fur we have ever seen. They are both pampered princesses in their own right. 👸

Out of the two Lily is by far the more confident, she will willingly have fuss and cuddles, she loves nothing more than being brushed. Coco is a little on the reserved side, you will need to earn her trust, once you have the rewards are endless. Both of the girls love to play and especially love their catnip toys 😻

Anyone who decides to apply for Lily and Coco must understand that Lily won't show herself very well here at the sanctuary, she needs an understanding companion who is willing to put the time in to earn her trust. 🥰

Based on their background and our assessment, we are looking for the following home for this special duo:

✅ Adult only home
✅ Indoor only with access to a cat proof garden or catio
✅ No other animals in the home
✅ A patient human companion

If you feel you can offer the girls the home they need. Please click on the link below to fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire:

Drumroll please 🥁 as we introduce our Queen of Sass… 👸

Please meet the wonderful Blue she's 2 years old. She's your typical happy staffy who knows what she wants and when she wants it. Some would call her a sassy staffy 😜

Blue loves being out and about on long walks enjoying the countryside, she walks so nicely 🌳

Playing Fetch is one of Blue’s favourite activities, she would happily play this for hours on end… your arm will be tired before she is 🤣

Blue is super intelligent, she’s great at sniffing things out and makes the perfect partner for hide and seek, her nose never lets her down, she will find every treat or toy you’ve hidden 🐶

She can be a little wary of men, this isn’t to say she can’t live with a man but you must be prepared to have several meets to help build her trust…. She’s worth it though ❤️

Blue has put together a list to say what she would like her forever home to be:
✅ Would prefer not to live with other animals.
✅ Would prefer a home without children
✅ Needs a 6ft enclosed garden

If you can offer our Queen Blue the palace she deserves. Please click on the link below:

https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/adoption/dogs/blue/

By sharing Blue’s plea you are helping spread the word and may help her find the forever home she needs ❤️

We often get asked why some of our animals need su

We often get asked why some of our animals need such specific homes...

In response to those of you who are frustrated that we don't appear to adopt animals to families with children or other animals: we want our animals to go to their new home and stay there, not return to us for reasons we could've prevented. Many of the animals who come into our care are here because of issues with other pets and children. Therefore, it would be irresponsible of us to rehome them back into situations they are not comfortable in.

Each animal in our care is assessed as an individual and we will always do right by them. Some can live with other animals, some can live with children but some need a specific home without children or other animals.

Before posting such comments, please bear in mind that our Facebook page is managed and seen by the staff who work directly with the animals during the day. To spend their days looking after the animals only to go home to read negative comments is upsetting and unnecessary.

Please know we will always do what's right by our dogs and that's setting them up for success ❤️

16 years young and in need of her forever home. Please help Betty and share her post ❤️

Betty sadly came into our care after her companion passed away. She had been through so much in the weeks before she came to us and it was clear she was stressed and worried. It’s hard enough as humans when we lose a loved one but for our fur companions, it affects them as well 😢

On arrival, it was clear that Betty needed some veterinary care. She had a growth on her head that was clearly causing her a few issues. She was seen by our vets at The Hart Veterinary Centre in Bicester & Aylesbury where she had the growth removed. Unfortunately, the growth was cancerous but we are confident all has been removed and it’s unlikely to grow back.

Betty has recently had a dental as well as geriatric blood tests which have shown she has no underlying health issues. This is great news for a cat of Betty’s age 🥰

This adorable lady has turned into a little love bug, she really enjoys lots of fuss and cuddles. Without fail Betty will meet you at her door in the hope she will have extra cuddles or food ❤️

Betty would like her forever home to be:
✅ Indoor only or a cat proof garden
✅ Children 14+
✅ To be the only fur baby in the home

If you feel you can give Betty the forever home she deserves, please click on the link below:
