Gomez (temporarily named Severus by his foster carer) was one of a group of savannah cats taken from an illegal breeder and left in a cattery for a year while the case was prosecuted. The rest are still adjusting and waiting for forever homes.

Here are the gang the first time I was able to go in with a camera. Expect more savannah and animal rescue content in the future! I’ll be volunteering to help them socialise and get noticed by their forever companions.

Be someone special

Rescues often take more patience and special understanding but they will melt your heart when the effort is rewarded! With growing numbers of pets in the care of charities, it’s vital that we provide for our existing population before incentivising breeders.

If you’re interested in caring for one of these stunning animals, please get in touch with Hope Animal Rescue Centre in the East Midlands.
