Tribute to Violet, R I P

5th December 2024

This summer we said a sad goodbye to our beloved Violet. 

The first record we have of Violet is from 2010, which means she has been a part of Oak Tree for longer than most of our current staff! While her exact age is unknown, we know she was at least 16 years old and has lived an incredible life on site.

As a free roaming outdoor cat, she has lived the feline dream on Oak Tree Farm; lots of mice to chase, warm stables to snuggle up in, and a stream of visitors to tickle her tummy as she sprawled in the sunshine. 

She was always supplied with food, water, attention and so much love, it’s no wonder that with all the freedom she had, she never strayed too far from home.

Our little three-legged friend never wanted for much, and we want to say a huge thank you to her sponsors over the years. Your contributions helped us to pay for a microchip activated cat flap so she could access her very own cattery pen on the colder nights, helped with the cost of underfloor heating for her, and of course, her vet bills to keep her going as long as she did.

She will be sadly missed by all of us at Oak Tree
