Last night this family arrived after being dumped ( obviously not feral ) in someone's garden, where they have been feeding them for some time.

Mum, current kittens and a previous kitten , full of fleas .

Now treated and decompressing together .

Welcome

We took Sonny and Thor to join Jane at her farm .

3 rescues have tried with these but they remain reactive and stressed , so I made the decision that this supported life was the best for them.

They join 3 other cats from Audley , lots of goats, turkeys and chickens and lots of land and barns to explore .

A life where they can be carefree but looks looked after.

Magnus remains at the vets , feel so sorry for him , he's such a sweet boy but it's his only change

Sunday afternoon activity .

Fern had her babies 5 weeks ago and after 2 weeks would have liked them to be removed, but we persisted and got them to this point but she has clearly had enough.

They paddled through food and mum will not clean them so this afternoon involves working and bathing them.

What fun 😊

Thank you to all those who volunteered for us at the Betley Bonfire, much appreciated.

We have just cleared the site and collected all the cones and just enjoying the bonfire 🔥😁

In most cases, cats will figure out how to use shelters on their own. Here are a few things you can do to attract them if it doesn't seem like your cats are using the shelter:

▪️Be patient. Some cats need a lot of time to get comfortable with a new shelter.
▪️Loosely fill the shelter ½ to ¾ full of straw, NOT HAY. Replace the straw every year.
▪️Remove any door flaps on the shelter. While doorway flaps help keep cold air out and warm air in, they should not be added until after your cats are used to going in and out of the shelter.
▪️Do not place food in or near the shelter. Cats instinctively avoid sleeping near food as it attracts other cats and wildlife (predators).
▪️Location is important. Place the shelter where your cats are already hanging out. More feral/less social cats typically want to shelter farther away from humans. The more secluded the shelter, the more likely cats are to use it.
▪️Place the shelter near natural cover, as opposed to out in the open where your cats may not feel safe. Cats prefer to move along walls, hedges or other natural barriers and boundaries. Place the shelter under or up against a building, fence, tree, porch, bush or some type of overhang.
▪️Place the shelter with the entrance facing away from the wind, rain and snow.
▪️Make sure the shelter is on a flat surface. A wobbly shelter could discourage cats from entering.
▪️It’s possible that your cats have another shelter where they feel safe. They may already have a shed, crawlspace or some other shelter they prefer.
▪️When all else fails, try a new location, but only after giving your cats plenty of time to explore and get used to the current location.
(We thank FeralVilla.com for this great advice!)

THANK YOU to the caregivers who have taken the time to build a feral cat shelter. Protection from the elements is critical, especially during the cold months, and your thoughtfulness will no doubt save many lives this winter.

How thin this lady is became apparent when we removed the kittens and she actually started to move about.

We fed her very well for the few weeks before she had her babies but her starvation has been going on for some time ago the added pressure of the babies .

Totally unacceptable

A heartbreaking night as I listened to a mummy looking for her babies ,neuter your cats ,don't be irresponsible and make excuses.

Rescues are at breaking point and cats are dying and suffering

Misty started her trial adoption last night and settled into her cat tree already.

Thank you Ellie and James for giving her a chance 🙏

Always a special place in my heart , Denis the menace is loving his family and big doggy brother .

I could still eat him 🥰

Bugsy Malone now Magic left yesterday and as mum says it's like he's always lived here.

He was living in an abandoned garden and was untrusting but soon learned we weren't going to let him down and he became a snuggly monkey.

Happy life little man 😻

Thank you to Eyes Cats who went and trapped these for me , reports of possibly 2 pregnant ladies and 3 kittens all poorly .

These have started treatment and flea treated as full of them.

The traps are out as we try everything to get the mums and not leave them behind even it's it's a TNR

Yin and Yang s mum has gone to spay , she is one of the Shelton ladies who went to spay thinking she was a boy to find out she was pregnant , babies are now old enough to remove and worked with, as it's been hands off.

Crystal was trapped in Chesterton, had her babies with another rescuer and now come to be spayed and we have a farm waiting for her.
