Wilden was a feral kitten brought into a local rescue centre with the rest of his litter. His brothers and sisters were quickly tame, but not Wilden – it became clear that he was never going to suit a domesticated life! We adopted Wilden when he was around 5 months old, and the centre described him to be as ‘wild as the wind.’ He soon warmed up to me and has now become my shadow!
This kind-natured little cat is thriving here on the farm. He loves the dogs and all the animals have accepted him. He loves to throw himself around the barn, racing here and there, but all the other animals know that’s just Wilden being Wilden. He still isn’t great with other humans and soon disappears if someone visits the farm, but our family wouldn’t be the same without him… our little wild one.
Like most of our wonderful rescue animals, Wilden isn’t cheap to care for. If you’d like to gift our little boy some food, or even some Dreamies treats (if you’ve got a cat, you’ll know how much they love them), we’d all be extremely grateful!Â
We opened the Far From Holiday Retreat in order to provide us with funds to enable us to continue our work with these beautiful animals. All new arrivals must be microchipped and passported (and normally they aren’t), vaccinated three times, rasped, wormed and given a general health check by the vet – with the majority requiring many more visits to ensure that they are happy and healthy.
If you are unable to come and visit us, you can still help us to continue our work by supporting us financially. We have included a couple of options below.
Tuna we go for Waitrose or other makes that are responsibly sourced.  Tuna is Wilden’s favourite and it keeps his diet interesting and nutritious.
Wilden being born feral struggles with new human members to the far from family and can take a little while to warm to them, a few Dreamies treats helps break the ice.

Despite being once feral Wilden is very fussy about what food he likes. After going though many brands we have ended up with Sheba which is now his favourite brand out of them all.
We use Iams dry food to make sure Wilden is getting everything he needs, whilst helping those teeth stay clean and healthy too!
