Fantastic to see the Cambodian premiere of Elvis of Cambodia last night at the 2024 international film festival (CIFF) opening. A remarkable documentary of famed singer, Sinn Sisamouth, set in beautiful past and present footage of Cambodia.

It is playing this week, among 120 other Cambodian and international films at cinemas around Phnom Penh. All screenings are free. CIFF is a great opportunity to appreciate and support local filmmaking.

From our litter of five from Animal Rescue Cambodia three months ago, to beautiful, healthy, happy kittens. All ready for their new home. So affectionate and sweet. We will miss them!

12/03/2024

These are two of the friendliest, most chilled kittens we’ve ever had. ❤️ Merlin (tabby) and Rocket were raised in a school and obviously very used to being cuddled and carried around. Unfortunately it wasn’t a very safe environment for them though so a teacher brought them into Animal Rescue Cambodia. And we were lucky enough to foster them.

Merlin and Rocket are now in the process of being adopted by one of our neighbours who fell in love with them. As if they could resist!

If you want to support the wonderful work of ARC, click the link to their page above. They are awesome!

After a brief pause to ring in the new year, we got these two little cuties from Animal Rescue Cambodia. Orion and Ari (Ori and Ari). They were so incredibly shy on arrival, that I barely saw a flurry of fur as they darted in and out of our bathroom cupboard to sn**ch a meal.

I did tell them, as I sat patiently nearby, that we were going to be great friends. And sure enough...

Kittens! This is what happens when a mama cat is fed and cared for - she doesn't abandon her kittens and they grow up fat, happy and healthy. 🥰 It's an absolute joy to foster these 4 gorgeous 10-week-old ginger kittens and their mama from Animal Rescue Cambodia for a couple of weeks before they're up for adoption. 😍

Ps. Kitten photography is hard work! I couldn't manage to get all four in a single shot. And their mama is camera shy and was hiding in a drawer.
