Happy Cats

Calling on all my lovely Facebook mates for help 🙏 Let’s do our bit!
Let your lawn go wild, it’s amazing how many creatures appear within weeks of not mowing, including frogs 🐸 and hedgehogs 🦔 who eat slugs 🐌!
Leave small water baths with pebbles in your garden. Just 1 bowl helps hundreds.
Stop 🛑 using pesticides and w**d killers. Even if they claim to be safe and biodegradable they are making their way to our rivers as poison. Many w**ds are food sources for insects. If you must kill them, wait til they have flowered and use boiling water or just pull them up. Don’t deflea your pets in winter when there are no fleas. Thanks to the water companies 😡 that flea killer you put through your washing machine is going straight into rivers and causing devastation to insect larvae 🐛
Sign petitions, write to your MP and Councillor to ban the use of toxic chemicals in our green spaces and agricultural land.
Teach your kids to respect nature and its balance. Without the ‘bad’ and the ‘ugly’ we don’t get the good 🌳
Peace out ✌️

This isn’t down to one wet, cold British spring but a disturbing longer-term decline in Britain’s insects. Thankfully, we can help, says the campaigner Tony Juniper

Has anyone seen this girl, missing from Oxenhope for a week? 🤞

I wonder if all my lovely followers would share this post please as this is cat who belongs to a customer of mine and she has been missing a week now. If anyone has seen a cat like this in or around Oxenhope/Howarth, Keighley please let me know. Hopefully the power of Facebook can bring her home. She is super friendly so we are hoping she has either been taken in by someone or inadvertently locked in, please check garages etc I know her owners want her home x

Charlie cat is an ex street boy who has turned out to be the sweetest, softest, most cuddly cat I’ve ever known. He’s my best mate and little shadow ❤️ They may be a bit rough round the edges but they can become the best loving, loyal pets with care and attention 😻

Jet 💕 this beautiful boy is still waiting for a forever home. Another ex street lad who keeps getting overlooked.

Jet likes a fuss, company & sleeping on someone’s head! He’s looking for a home as the king of his castle as other cats aren’t his thing.

He may be a bit overwhelmed by very little children but pre teen upwards children would be fine. Jet will need access to the outdoors when he is ready to go out.

If you’d like to meet this wonderful boy or know more about him then please fill in our adoption enquiry form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe904ND2JE32Y4ZU8OFbxntdDlfwwtT2MUHXCycfa-MkkUZXw/viewform

I had 5 days away. I left Charliecat at home with my friend, who he knows very well. She dotes on him and caters to his every whim. I returned home last night.
He is still being dramatic 🙀😹😹😹

I’m sad to hear that we’ve lost one of our favourite Happy Cats 💔
You were a pleasure to sit for, always greeting me with a head bump & keeping me company on every visit. Even your sometimes grumpy old lady ways were endearing 😻
Fly high Mimi ❤️ 🌈

If just one person neuters or spays their cat as a result of this post it’s one less heartache 🙏

There is a common belief that cats are fickle and leave home/find new owners on a whim. This is simply not true. Cats are loyal pets but they can get lost prowling, just following their natural instinct to mate.

If you haven’t already, please neuter or spay your cats and have them micro-chipped (chips will be compulsory from June this year)
Spayed and neutered cats are much less likely to stray, fight, spray your walls/furniture and they have a significantly lower risk of some cancers, diseases and death on the roads.
A spayed or neutered cat is always calmer, happier and much more content to cuddle on your lap than go outside in all weather, prowling.
Crucially, they are not producing unwanted kittens!
There are vets, charities and kind souls that offer reduced rate or free spaying/neutering/microchipping locally.
Both PDSA and Cats Protection have schemes for low income households (see comments)
Failing this, almost all vets work with a local charity and will neuter or spay for a flat rate of £20, with the charity paying the rest for you.
Ask your vet and they will advise
🙏

I had no idea that baby hares are born pretty much autonomous!
One to remember 😻

Easter 🐇 cuteness alert

Well Spring has firmly Spring with the first baby Mammal to come through the doors...

This little Leveret, who is actually around 10days old already going by it's weight, was picked up by well meaning walkers at Alder Grove, thinking it had been abandoned as there were no adults around.

Baby Hares are very different from rabbits.. they are born fully fitted, eyes open, up and hopping about and even nibbling at solid green leaves virtually right away..
2 to 3 babies are born and they do NOT have to be together. They can be scattered around a field area..
Mum will drop in 2 or 3 times a day to check on them and feed them her milk.. outside that time they are on their own and will sit quietly in a 'Form' (a little arch of crass buried in the vegetation)

It's very important of you are in areas known to have hares living there, countryside, farmland, mountains, Belfast Hills etc.. please keep all your dogs on a lead. Free running dogs cause massive disturbance to not only the Hares but nearing ground birds. Dogs risk lifting baby Hares and taking them away from their Forms,
Chasing away the parents..

Please be vigilant and aware of the nature around you so these babies can stay with their mum's who do a way better job than we can ever do... :)

If you find a baby bunny/rabbit out on a walk and aren't sure which it is and what's the best to do, please send a photo before ever touching them. We can identify which it is and whether it needs to be picked up or it's actually fine to be left on its own.

If you would like to help support the continued daily work keeping us on the road to get to the rescue calls, help provide food and external heating for all the wildlife coming in you can use PayPal and send a donation to the below email address ,

Charliecat has a cat flap on the back door yet he still insists we do this with the front door at least twice a day. I think he just likes to look out across his Kingdom from the vantage point of the doormat 👑🤦‍♀️😹
