Happy new home for cat suspected to have fallen from tower block

Orwell came into our care in October last year after he was suspected to have fallen from a block of flats in Aberdeen.

The young male was spotted lying immobile and vomiting by a member of the public who then called our animal helpline. Luckily our animal rescue officer, Aimee, arrived and whisked him out of the cold and off to the vets for emergency care.

Unfortunately Orwell’s front leg was found to be completely broken and needed to be amputated.

After the procedure, Orwell received lots of tender love and care from the team at our Aberdeenshire Rescue and Rehoming Centre and soon learned how to live life with three legs.

Two months later Orwell was spotted by Margaret and Anne and it was love at first sight.

Now living his dream life in the Trossachs, Orwell has been renamed ‘Jura’ as his smokey grey fur and amber eyes match the couple’s favourite whisky and holiday destination.

Margaret and Anne are delighted to have Jura as part of the family, and particularly enjoy watching him play with shoe laces and his homemade catnip mouse. His zoomies up and down the stairs and bedtime cuddles more than make up for his resistance to his daily (and very necessary) grooming sessions.

We are so glad Jura has found the loving home he deserves after his injuries last year and would like to thank Margaret and Anne for sharing stories of his wonderful new life.
