Meet the Menagerie

At Pawsitively Pets we don't encourage the selling of animals from pet shops and prefer to refer anyone interested in a furry, feathered, or scaly creature to rescues or breeders.

However, we do have some of our own. Lottie, the director and founder of Pawsitively Pets has a little menagerie set up at home (which will inevitably grow as Lottie gets more of her own space!).

Here's introducing...

Takara - Dotty Dally #1

Takara is a 4 year old liver spotted dally who first met Lottie aged 5 weeks. She finally went home with Lottie almost three weeks later. She and Lottie have been through a lot together and earlier this year they appeared at Crufts for the Friends For Life competition.
Takara helps Lottie (who is disabled) with every day life and accompanies her to places wearing her assistance dog jacket. She also enjoys training regularly with Lottie.
Thanks to Karyn Wight of Tafuta Dalmatians for allowing her to come and live with us.

Eddy - Dotty Dally #2

Eddy came to live with Lottie and her family aged 11 and a half years of age when his previous owner had to move to Australia and decided it was in his best interests to find him a good home in the UK instead of making him travel.
Eddy is now 14 and a half years of age and people still struggle to believe his age! He playfights with Takara and is still pretty active. He has been diagnosed with kidney disease but is doing well.

Smitch - The Cat

Smitch is an 11(ish) year old cat Lottie has had since Lottie was 11. Until recently Smitch lived with her sister Smudge, who sadly died earlier this year.
The pair were rescue kittens and have lived with Lottie and her family almost all their lives.
Despite her appearance, Smitch weighs next to nothing as it's all fluff and her favourite past times include plucking at furniture, guarding the rodents and sharing primula cheese with Little Miss Chief.

Little Miss Chief - The Fancy Rat

Originally named 'Petal' after she was found abandoned in a garden, Little Miss Chief has been renamed due to her naughty and bossy nature!
She came to live with Lottie after attempts to introduce her to other rats failed. Little Miss is much happier with no other rats around her and is progressing well and growing in confidence.

Whiskas and Felix - The Hamsters
Whiskas and Felix are the rescued hamsters here at Pawsitively Pets. They came to live with Lottie after their owner didn't return for them.
Unfortunately we are lacking in photos of these two sweeties just now but will get some put up!
Whiskas is possibly the world's fattest Russian Dwarf ever and Felix is small but mighty! He enjoys picking up his wheel and banging it against the cage bars at approximately 2:30am! Not so fun as they live in the bedroom!
