BOVRIL was a stray and has one eye missing. When found he was very thin and manky looking and also FIV+ve. Although he is affectionate, he is extremely nervous.

BLUEY is a lovely, fluffy, friendly FIV+ve boy whose age is unknown. Shortly after his new owners met and fell in love with him, their son was born, and Bluey has since proved to be a very gentle, fun loving – and tolerant – puss who his family couldn't imagine being without.

BODIE is a black and white FIV+ve boy who had to have an eye removed. He is very nervous of people but loves other cats.

BOMBER came into 9 Lives care because his owner's son is asthmatic. His companion cat is Harris, and they have been kept together in a permanent 9 Lives home.

BOOTSY was born in 1997. She is epileptic and needs medication but it does not affect her quality of life. She is very friendly and loves a cuddle. Her former owners had emigrated and taken their dogs but not Bootsy, even though she had a passport.
