Normanton Cat Rescue DERBY

18/08/2024

Mother cat with five kittens. Kittens aged about 5 weeks. All had to go to vet on Thursday. Mack has a chesty cough, and is on antibiotics and anti-inflamatories. Melody and Mason had constipation and were put on liquid paraffin. Melissa and Mitch had discharge from their eyes, and are on eye-ointment. Poor Mitch's left eye is really swollen.

Four one-year-old girl cats await homes. All spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Playful and affectionate.

I ASK FOR £100 PER KITTEN AND CAT TO HELP WITH VET BILLS AND OTHER EXPENSES. I DO NOT MAKE ANY PROFIT. THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS I ASK OF PROSPECTIVE NEW OWNERS OF THE KITTENS AND CATS. I hope they aren't offputting, but I want the best for the kittens and cats, and I don't know you! Some questions will sometimes be irrelevant. For example, the one-year-old girls I currently have are all neutered already, before rehoming. If there's something you aren't sure about, you can ask. I usually take the kittens/cats to their new homes, sometimes bringing them for a visit first.

What is your name (First and last)?

What is your email address?

What is your phone number?

What is your address exactly?

Is the home rented or owned?

If rented do you have the landlord's permission to have pets?

Do you have a sanctuary room for the cat/s for a long as they may need it, so that they can be quiet away from other animals and/or children and noise?

Will you have the cat/s spayed/castrated when the vet says they are old enough, if they are not already done when they come to you?

Will your cat have access to outdoors or be kept as only an indoor cat?

Will you keep the cat in till he or she is spayed/castrated?

If your cat will be allowed outside, what outside access will your cat have (garden etc.)?

Will the cat be shut indoors at night?

Do/will you have a cat flap?

Does or will anyone smoke indoors in the home?

Which vet do you/would you use?

Would you be happy for us to speak to your vets to get a reference if required?

Would you consider insurance for your
cat/s?

Would you use a monthly pet plan with your vets for your cat/s if not insured?

How much would a cat/kitten be left alone, particularly when they are new to you?

Can you tell me a little more about your lifestyle & the home you can offer, eg who lives there, children, pets, work, holidays, etc....

I hope this is not offputting. Let me know if you have any queries about it all. Bear in mind that I do not know you, and I want the best possible homes for the kittens and cats.

THANK YOU!

Last week I took in a mother cat plus five kittens. The kittens were born outside and not used to being handled, but the mother is friendly. The kittens were about 3 weeks old, so young enough to adapt.

UPDATE. I still have four older girl kittens, Candy, Dana, Della and Dulcie. About ten months old, playful and affectionate. In addition, ten days ago Cats Protection contacted me to ask me to take in a mother cat with her kittens who were born outside or in a shed. I went to pick them up. The three kittens, aged about four weeks, had been caught but the mother hadn't. So I used a special cat-trap, and put my Smarphone in with kittens (because the kittens were not making enough noise) and got someone to ring me repeatedly with the ringtone set to kittens meowing. That got the mother in! I've called her Tara, and her kittens are Tristan, Trinian and Tracey. The mother allows me to stroke her, but the kittens are quite wary and need work to socialise them. In a separate incident, some miles away, this last Friday someone contacted me about a kitten found in a garden. They'd had her five or six days, and been unable to find the mother cat. This one is probably slightly younger than Tara's, as her ears are still flatter on her head. I've called her Trudie. All the kittens are eating kitten-food, as is the mother Tara. I would like to put Trudie with the others, but don't want to risk cross-infection. Trudie is very affectionate! So this is four older kittens, a young mother cat, and four young kittens who need homes either now or in some weeks. There are also some tom-cats hanging around whom I would love to help, but I cannot take them all in. One in particular is a black-and-white boy who is very affectionate and always ready for food. Please share, though also be aware that I do have a questionairre as I don't know you and I want to know the kittens and cats will have happy homes! Any help appreciated please, including maybe gifts of good items that you do not want, as I hope to sell these to raise funds. Alternatively, you could try selling and sending the funds my way. Thank you!

Can anyone use Easyfundraising to support the cats and kittens please?! It doesn't cost you any extra but can help my rescue. You can either do it online or download the App, and when you are shopping at one of many supporting retailers they will donate without costing you any extra, but you do need to locate their webpage via the Easyfundraising App or webpage. You can shop at Amazon, Sainsbury's, Tesco and many more places to help raise funds. Please do consider this. I am running a business trying to earn a living as well as spending time rescuing and caring for these cats (and my two dogs), and I have very little time for fund-raising although it is desperately needed. I find it hard enough to find time to post regular updates, particularly as the Facebook App on my Smartphone is not working very well. Please consider helping! We need cat food, kitten food, cat-litter, and sometimes vet-bills, and also I have been advised to obtain a microchip-scanner to help to check cats who appear to be strays. All of these soon add to the bills, and I am almost entirely self-supporting ... so much so that I have wondered whether I should stop doing this... and then someone messages about an orphan kitten... Thanks for any support one way or another!
