Happy New Year to you all! Is 2025 the year you take on a new challenge?

Marion is looking for help at the centre to include some cleaning, tidying and various other tasks, to keep things running smoothly. If you love cats and have a few hours in the morning to join Marion on a regular basis, we would love to hear from you! Currently Marion is without help on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

To find out more or to register your interest, please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or email [email protected]

Thank you ❤

As 2024 draws to a close, we would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Thank you all so much for the wonderful donations, it really does make a difference to a small charity like Newbridge. We receive no funding or grants and rely solely on the kindness of our supporters ❤

We will be closing our doors to visitors this weekend and will resume rehoming in the new year. The work never stops here so we will be working behind the scenes to ensure the cats are warm, fed and given lots of fuss. If you do need to bring your cat to us over the festive period, please contact Marion and she will do her best to help you if she can. You can email her on [email protected] or call her on 01299 270701.

**APPEAL FOR HELP: A message from Marion**

Newbridge Cat Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Cleobury Mortimer have been rescuing and housing unwanted cats since 2007. Unlike the larger rescues, they do not receive any funding and are left to rely on donations and fundraising efforts by volunteers. It costs £500 per week to feed the 28 senior cats in the Sanctuary, the 20 ferals that have made Newbridge their home and, of course, the cats that are brought in for rehoming. In total, there are often more than 100 cats here at any one time. A donation is asked for when a cat is rehomed, but that is all. The unwanted cats that come in are often not neutered or chipped and Newbridge Cat Rescue have to pay for these procedures, as well as any other vets bills too.

The larger rescue centres seem to have reduced the work they do considerably, leaving stray and abandoned cats to live outside without food and it is the smaller rescues - like Newbridge - that take them in.

Apart from the monetary aspect of looking after the cats, Marion undertakes the majority of the work herself - Rebecca and Karen come in a couple of days a week to help, but Marion could really do with some more volunteers to help out a few hours a week.

If you could possibly offer a small donation (via the website https://ncrrhc.weebly.com/donate.html), donate some cat food or even spare a few hours a week to help keep the rescue centre going then this would be fantastic.

Cat food can be dropped off at the centre. Please contact Marion directly on 01299 270701 or [email protected] to offer any available assistance. Thank you ❤

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]

After our short festive break, Newbridge is open again to visitors! If you are interested in giving one of our residents their forever home, please contact Marion for more information and to arrange an appointment. You can call her on 01299 270701 or send an email to [email protected]

A big thank you to the staff in Pets At Home Ludlow during the Pets Foundation Santa Paws appeal. Thanks also to all the customers and our supporters who were able to donate. We really do appreciate the generosity, without which we couldn’t survive.
