Katly Cat Rescue

11/11/2024

The newton colony I was clearing was estimated to be about 14 cats, which has now turned into a colony of cats all from the same litter all within a 2km distance of each other and is estimated to have over 30 cats. I have trapped 19 of them, including a mum cat who had 6 week old kittens and was already pregnant again.

When I announced I was taking a break I thought there was only 1-2 cats left. I will still continue to trap but my break may be a little longer.
I have raised $970 to go towards desexing and have put in a lot of money myself to fully vet these kitties, along with pay for every other cat in my cares food and vet treatments.
I'm asking one last time for some help to get these newton cats desexed. I'm not able to do this alone. If you can help please donate to my go fund me or share it around ☺️

Put your paws together for all the great things Katly Cat Rescue has been able to achieve this year 😻
❗I am currently not doing any more intakes until the new year ❗
I always take a break once a year and focus on clearing my rescue, building up my funds, sanitising everything and taking care of my mental health. This gig is hard and to be able to continue the work I do, I need to rest.
If I have promised you help, this won't impact you. This page will also remain active and I have a bunch of kittens (including the cuties in the photo) that will be available for adoption very soon along with a few teens.

Thank you so much for your support over these past 5 months, I appreciate you all so much 💕
If you're searching for your purfect kitty, keep an eye out on my page as I may have your new best friend 😻

Meet Mr. Calico 💕
I got a message from a wonderful woman about a stray in her area that she managed to trap and desperately needed help with. He is so gorgeous!
To give everyone an update, he is currently at the vet receiving full vet care. He will be tested for FIV, get a dental check, flea/worm treated, vaccinated, desexed, his wounded cleaned and put on any other medications needed. Then he will return and be loved upon and start the rehabilitation process.
He will no longer go hungry, or have to fight to survive.
You’re so loved little Calico and so many things aligned perfectly to get you here and make sure you’re safe ☺️

Meet pudding 😻
Pudding and another 1 or 2 male kitties were the result of 45 cats being born in Salisbury. I saw a post on Facebook of a lady desperately trying to find help because this situation got out of hand very quickly and she couldn't help all of them on her own.
This is the best thing you can do, reach out and ask for help. Even if rescues keep telling you they're full. Keep messaging, and keep trying to find help.
A few had gotten rehomed before I came in to help but I managed to get the remaining ones desexed and rehomed. Pudding and her 5, 7-week-old, kittens are the last to be desexed. Pudding gets desexed tomorrow and I'll take in the kittens next month and they'll be desexed asap. The males had gotten numerous cats pregnant in the street, I also got all of them desexed and helped get any other mumma/kittens into foster care within other rescues.

Here’s to retirement for Pudding, no more babies for you my love 💕🎉

The beautiful faces of some of the kittens from the newton colony. 5 out 15 are left to trap.
Socks and Val are between the ages of 4 and 6 months old. Aren't they just so cute and little?! 🥹😍

They were also pregnant. The result of 2 cats not being desexed resulted in a colony of 15 cats in a suburban area, with babies as young as 4 months old getting pregnant.
This is why desexing is essential, this is why you should never relocate a “pest” stray cat to another area, especially one that's not desexed. This will only create a problem for someone else and cause the suffering of these animals who didn't deserve or ask for this life. They are all severely underweight, despite having about 6 different people feeding them, they were suffering. You don't have to like cats, but we all should care about the suffering of any animal. If they were dogs, people would have cared more. It would have been all over the news about a bunch of stray dogs that are starving and living in a suburban area.

Luckily I’ve been able to come in and help this colony before something worse happened to them, and before the problem got bigger. The things I've heard from people while trapping them, include “dumping them elsewhere” and “posioning them”, it has been heartbreaking.

If you would like to donate to help me get the remaining kitties out asap, Ive created a go fund me to help cover the desexing cost. These poor babies didn't deserve this, but I will make sure they get the life they always deserved 💕
