Here's a recent photo of Daisy! Daisy is one of our most popular cats, with sponsors, visitors and just generally everyone! She was hand reared here by Sue and had her difficulties at a young age with her also being Manx and having the usual bowel issues that go with that.
She has made a beautiful cat though and now spends a lot of time outdoors but can take herself away around the fields for several days at a time. We hadn't seen her for a while and then when we were doing the nightly rounds a few nights ago and putting everywhere to bed, there she was in the corner of the stable with Mary the donkey! She seems to be staying with us now so we're giving her plenty of fuss and she is a nice reminder of just one of the many lives Sue saved and nurtured.

As tomorrow is the 15th day of the month, it will be our monthly £1 day! Thanks to those of you who have already donated today or have it setup as a recurring donation. £1 may not seem a lot to donate but if everyone on this page donated just £1, then obviously the result would be huge. If you are outside the UK, Paypal will convert the currency automatically for you. Please follow this link to our main sponsor page and you will find the Paypal button which says donate in the yellow border to donate any amount to MCS, https://www.manncat.com/donate Thank you

It's our final Wednesday opening of the year this afternoon!

We've enjoyed a very busy September and the cats and other animals are looking forward to seeing some visitors for the final time on a Wednesday this year! We are open between 2 and 5pm and please don’t forget to bring the cats some food for their tea. If you don’t like old age and imperfection, this is not the place to visit! Our gift shop will be open and we will also have our freshly laid eggs available from our free range hens and you can also purchase some food to feed the hens and ducks.

Fern is today's photo, her story was featured in our latest newsletter as she had to undergo surgery to remove her eye on Boxing day after being found in someone's garden in a poor state. She has settled in really well here and now splits her time between the house and the cattery, mainly so she can enjoy a meal in both areas when she times it right!!

It was all snuggles in Rowanberry last night and very cosy! On Friday we had a visit from Dr. Ruth, two ops were carried out in our surgery as Kelly and Tinker required some dental work and are both minus some teeth now, but feeling much better!

Pipkin making for a very attractive photo opportunity whilst observing the goings on here! Pipkin found her way to us as a feral who we started noticing at night and then more so in the daytimes until she decided she was going to make the sanctuary her new home!

We've had a very busy August for visitors and have enjoyed welcoming everyone, with a good mixture of new and returning ones! There is more bike racing on this week with the Manx Grand Prix and we always have plenty of bikers up to see the cats. Thanks to everyone who has sent us items from our Amazon wish list it is a great help when any item is sent from there.

We've had a very busy couple of weeks here. Rosie had a trip to the vets during last week as we'd identified some dental issues which couldn't wait until Dr. Ruth's next on-site visit. She went up and had the vast majority of her teeth removed so she has been feeling a little sorry for herself. She's doing ok now and back eating after a few days on milk and soft food such as lick-e-lix. We have updated our Amazon wish list today and put some lick-e-lix on but currently there is no milk available to be sent. Anything you can donate to us from the list is gratefully appreciated https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2R01ZDCDIP0H/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

We also had multiple reports of a Tom cat which was causing havoc around a housing estate, severely injuring several domestic cats and causing substantial vet bills for the owners, so a resident managed to use one of our traps to successfully trap him and he has now been neutered and here with us. He wasn't chipped and was very cross about everything but he is now calming down and we are quite hopeful he will come round in due course as so many previous Toms have here. www.manncat.com
