SPECIAL APPEAL - CILLA - NOW REHOMED!

Thank you so much for all the likes and shares of this post, we are thrilled to tell you that Cilla has now found her forever home! We will miss her little face here at Newbridge but we're confident that her future will be filled with the love and cuddles she so deserves.

“Hello, my name is Cilla. I was brought to Newbridge as a stray all the way back in January. I have been waiting patiently since then to be picked but nobody seems interested. I don't know why, I am a quiet but very affectionate girl and I get on with other cats. The lovely lady that looks after me thinks I am around one to two years old. Since arriving here I have been neutered, chipped and treated for fleas and worms. Now I just need to find my forever home. Would you be able to give me the love and fuss I so desperately want?”

If you would like to be considered for rehoming please contact Marion directly. You can call her on 01299 270701 or email her at [email protected] Thanks so much!

Hello All!

We have been rather quiet online these past few months, but we are very much hard at work behind the scenes. Full to capacity and rushed off our feet with new arrivals and long term residents, we haven't forgotten about our lovely supporters. We would like to take this moment to wish you all a very happy International Cat Day. It's a perfect excuse to give the cats in your life a little extra fuss or to consider giving one of our residents a new place to call home.

If you would like to be considered for rehoming please do get in touch. You can call Marion on 01299 270701 or email her at [email protected]

Just reposting this plea in case anybody is able to help! Marion is in desperate need of more volunteers. The sheer amount of work she deals with on her own most days is overwhelming and she will be forced to scale back significantly if she doesn't find the support she needs. Sadly that means helping fewer cats in need. There are a few volunteers helping her presently but there are still days when she is on her own. Even if you can only spare an hour or two each week, please do email her at [email protected]. Thank you!

SPECIAL APPEAL - NOW REHOMED!!!

We are very happy to announce that the beautiful Esmi has found her forever home. Thank you to all who shared the post and spread the word, helping us to find the perfect match. Now she can look forward to a very happy future full of the fuss and cuddles she deserves ❤

“Meow, my name is Esmi! I didn’t have the best start in life but I’m hoping someone out there can give me a brighter future in a forever home. I’m not sure exactly how old I am but Marion thinks I’m around one year old. I was brought to Newbridge from a vet practice after being handed in as a stray. Pregnant at the time, I soon gave birth to a litter of kittens but sadly none of them were strong enough to survive. After taking time to recouperate I was neutered and I’m now ready to find somewhere to call home. For some reason I seem to get overlooked by potential adopters but I’m such a friendly, happy girl and I really do have a lot of love to give. Could you welcome me into your heart and your home?”

If you’re interested in giving Esmi her forever home, please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

Another busy year gradually comes to a close here at Newbridge. We will be shutting the doors to visitors from Monday 11th December until early January 2024, with no appointments or rehoming taking place throughout. Of course the work here never stops so we will continue to provide care and cuddles for the many cats at the centre. If you need to find a new home for your cat over this period please email [email protected] and Marion will try to help, space permitting.

Christmas can be such an expensive time of year but if you would like to make a small donation to help keep the charity running, please visit https://ncrrhc.weebly.com/donate.html for details. And don’t forget that if you’re in the Ludlow area, you can pop in to Pets At Home Ludlow and donate there as part of the Santa Paws 2023 appeal. You may even bump into our wonderful fundraisers!

Thank you to everyone that has made a donation of food or money in 2023. Newbridge receives no funding and relies solely on the generosity of the public to continue caring for cats in need.

And finally, we hope you all have a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
From Marion, the volunteers and all the Newbridge cats x

Did you know? Five quick facts about Newbridge Cat Rescue and Rehoming Centre:

- Since the charity was established in 2007, Marion has rehomed more than 3000 cats and kittens
- Marion takes care of the cats at Newbridge 365 days a year, come rain or shine, and has done so for the past 16 years.
- The charity spends at least £22,000 on cat food every year, a cost that is rising steeply
- Newbridge does not receive government funding and relies on the generosity of the public to stay afloat
- Unlike the larger, nationwide rescue charities, Newbridge does not have paid employees instead relying on a small number of dedicated volunteers

27/10/2023

Hello all, we have a bit of a plea!
Marion is looking for some more people to help her with day to day tasks. She does have a few volunteers already, but she would be incredibly grateful for any additonal help.

Below are the roles she would like to fill:
- Volunteer at the centre - this would be a couple of hours per week on a regular basis. The job includes washing litter trays and food dishes, cleaning pens. The work is outdoors but under cover and you can warm up on cold mornings by the log burner. Free tea and coffee is provided!
- Cat transport - to drop cats off at the vets on an ad-hoc basis. Fuel money will be provided and Marion will fetch the cats back at the end of the day.

If you are interested or would like to find out more, please call Marion on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

And of course donations of money or food are always appreciated, no matter how small. Newbridge receives no funding from the government or other organisations and relies purely on the generosity of the public and the hard work of the volunteers. Marion takes in and rehomes hundreds of cats and kittens every year but the sheer amount of work and the soaring costs mean that it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. She has been running the charity - unpaid - for 16 years and would be sad to see it close.
Thank you for reading ❤

Hello friends and followers! It has been brought to our attention that our cat food donation bin in the Bridgnorth branch of Sainsbury's has been allocated to another charity. We haven't been contacted by Sainsbury's directly, or been able to verify this for ourselves, so please bear in mind that any food donated will likely not reach us here at Newbridge.

We always appreciate the support and kind donations we receive from the public, without which we couldn't carry on. If you'd like to help us, please visit https://ncrrhc.weebly.com/donate.html to find out more. Thank you ❤

Newbridge Cat Rescue Centre Open Day - CANCELLED

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the open day scheduled for Friday 29th September has been cancelled. Online advertising for the event had not yet started but some flyers have been distibuted in the Cleobury area by the very kind event organiser. Sincere apologies to everyone that was planning to attend! We will keep you updated on this page when Marion is able to rearrange.

UPDATE - NOW REHOMED. Thank you so much for all the shares and likes. We are pleased to report that Philip has found a lovely new place to call home and will be heading there very soon ❤

SPECIAL APPEAL

"Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Philip and I am around 5 years old. I am a large, handsome chap and I have been neutered, ready to find that special place to call home. I love to roam so somewhere with lots of land would enable me to live my best life. Despite this love of the outdoors, I am a friendly boy and I do enjoy a bit of attention and fuss. Can you give me the home and the freedom I am looking for?"

If you’re interested in giving Philip his forever home, please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

NOW REHOMED!
Thank you for all the shares, comments and enquiries. A perfect match was found and this beautiful boy went to his lovely forever home today ❤

SPECIAL APPEAL

"Hello, my name is Maurice! I am a very large, neutered boy, thought to be around 5 years old. I like to spend a lot of time outside so I’m looking for a home with plenty of land to explore, somewhere with extensive gardens or perhaps on a farm or smallholding. I do not get on with other kitties so I would need to be the only cat. I am friendly with people and enjoy cuddles, but I don’t suppose I’ll ever be a typical lap cat... I like my freedom too much! Is there anybody that can give me the kind of home that I long for?"

If you think you could offer Maurice his forever home, please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

Do you love cats and want to help us here at Newbridge? Do you live within easy reach of Cleobury Mortimer and have a few hours to spare each week? If so, Marion would love to hear from you! She is currently looking for people to volunteer in the following ways.

General Cleaning
- Helping with the morning routine of cleaning litter trays and pens, washing food dishes and making sure that the cats have plenty of clean drinking water in their pens.
- Due to the set up of the centre and physical nature of this role, you need to be steady on your feet and happy to work outdoors, whatever the weather!
- This role would suit someone reliable that can commit 2-3 hours, returning on the same day every week.

Cat Transport
- Collecting cats from Newbridge and dropping them off at the vet surgery for neutering. You won’t be required to stay or collect the cats after their operation.
- Own transport is essential and fuel costs will be covered.
- This is a flexible role and will vary from week to week, depending on demand.

If you’re interested in either role, or would like more information, please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

Hello friends and supporters, we desperately need your help! Our amazing cats are struggling to find their forever homes. The cost of living crisis is having a huge impact; fewer people are in a financial position to be able to adopt, more people are needing to give up their beloved pets and running costs for us as a charity are sharply increasing. Residents are now staying with us for many, many months with little interest and we are having to turn away people that need our help as we simply don’t have the room for them. It’s a devastating situation.

If you are looking to welcome a cat into your home, please consider one of the Newbridge kitties. You can find the latest cats ready for rehoming at https://ncrrhc.weebly.com/looking-for-a-home.html
Thank you so much for reading ❤
