I need advice for a friend fleeing DV

I hope you’ll excuse me popping in, I’m in the UK and trying to support a friend who is experiencing domestic violence.

They need to get out but have pets, specifically cats and are afraid for their safety if left behind.

They aren’t aware of any DV shelters who will accept them with pets.

They have been isolated from any support thanks to their abuser so there are no friends or family who can step in.

So, does anyone have any advice for what they can do? I suggested asking rescues if they can foster the cats temporarily but being so unfamiliar with the area I’m a bit stumped.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Edit: for those downvoting replies to this, you really need to take a good hard look at yourselves and the kind of person you have become.

Just heading out with my kid for our first time!

I’ve only got a cheap magnet from Amazon, but I’m sure we’ll still have fun, and it gets us out in the sun and fresh air!

Wish us luck!

This little fledgling needed some respite from the heat.

Found on the floor in our garden unable to fly.

In accordance with RSPB recommendation we popped him? Her? Into an open box in a shady spot and provided a shallow dish of water and some crumbs.

A little while later he hopped out of the box and flew up into a low bush near where his parents were squeaking.

While we were getting him set up he gave me the grumpiest look.

Uber driver handed a bottle of vodka to my 10 year old.

I’m absolutely astounded. Kid says the driver asked for my date of birth then just handed over the bottle and left. At no point did they speak to me or even see me!

My 10 year old wants to get started. Equipment advice needed please?

So, my 10 year old encountered the concept of Kandi…somewhere, lol, and wants to have a go.

Bearing in mind that she’s a lot like me and she changes hobbies like most people change underpants, what do you recommend I get for her to get started?

The obvious ones I can think of are:

Beads (assorted).
Beading cord.
Beading elastic.
Findings of some sort (advice needed on types).
A good pattern website.

This is obviously very basic. What else would be a good idea to get? Also, do you have any specific recommendations for types etc. Any particular suppliers? Please bear in mind I’m UK based.

It’s her birthday next week so I’ll be ordering things via Amazon UK this time, just for shipping speed purposes.

Thank you for your time.
