I run a non funded retirement rescue. Please dont think retirement means there old what it does mean is there final home.
(5)
I have taken kittens as young as 3 weeks requiring hand feeding to cats found living in bushes and garages.
Does anyone happen to know the owner of the horse tied up on the corner of Cleveland street/Dalton Street?
Could you please advise them that the horse had broke free and appeared at my partners work, he has taken it back down and tied it back up but we want the owners to be aware so they can go check.
Please share xx
I have put off making this announcement for quite a few weeks now in the hope things would improve but in actual fact I've ended up with 2 more mouths to feed with even less donations coming in.
Unfortunately we are now unable to take in anymore cats/kittens for the foreseeable future. We struggled last year and paid for most of what we needed ourselves and the same has happened again this year. We never have funds available in the rescue to pay for anything. We don't raise enough money a month to even pay for a mum to be spayed it all comes out of our own pocket and we just cannot continue.
We had to scrap our vehicle as it wasn't cost effective to repair, karl sold his quad to but a car so we could move cats and get food to our fosters. Unfortunately a few days after getting the car on the road someone ran straight out in front of karl and smashed the windscreen even more expense 😭
I have kindly been given a small car cheap to run but sadly I just cannot afford to put a second car on the road.
The last 2 months have been very stressful I have tried to raise funds I've tried to find people to help with selling items and car boots over the summer but sadly there has been nobody available.
I'm beat I've tried everything I can I've emailed companies to ask if they can donate I've gone out and worked (and ripped off by the company as a thank you) but it's just too much now sorry.
I'm not closing my rescue I just cannot help as I am now. Maybe 1 day il find the solution and be back 💔
A massive thank you to everyone who does donate we do truly appreciate it, we still have a few mums and babies to spay/neuter that will be looking for there forever homes I will update as there ready and we have a few long termless that just need a little more reassurance before they look for there forever home.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported us I just wish I could have done more xx
Sorry I havnt been online I've had a terrible couple of weeks and needed time out.
Unexpectedly 1 of our own cats passed away then a few days later karl had an accident at work that resulted in 10 stickers in his lip.
Sadly a few days later 1 of our senior dogs bluebell passed away 😭 this was just too much for me her brother is missing her terribly and looks so confused it's heartbreaking.
Last week I did manage to find an offer on flea treatment that ends the 31st October (pet drugs online)
So all our mums and babies have treatment available for them as alot are getting close to being ready for spay/neuter.
6 boxes were for our own cats and all paid for by ourselves and also the dog treatment which was totally wrong becouse my head wasn't in the rite place 🙈 if you have a dog that weight and would like to buy them please drop me a message.
As we have spent so much on flea treatments for the cats it's less we can out towards getting all these mums and babies ready for there new homes.
We do receive a few regular donations a month which we appreciate so much but we need more help to get these babies into the homes they deserve.
If you can help by donating even £1 we can soon have these babies living the lives they deserve.
To anyone who has tried to contact me I will be in touch
Long shot but do I have anyone that passes Melwood pets in woodmansey that wouldn't mind collecting an order for me i can ring and pay over the phone so it's ready xx
Sorry to anyone who has been waiting to hear from me.
Sadly I've had to bring 5 kittens back as mum has rejected them and 2 kittens were found very lethargic and clearly struggling on Friday.
A massive thank you to Rach Fozz for picking me up so I could get the kittens back here and start helping them. (All 5 are now doing well and taking a feed although 1 is a little reluctant )
This does now mean that I am hand feeding 13 kittens which is no problem but does obviously take more of my time up as 5 are every 3 hours and 7 are every 4 hours although these 7 are slowly eating on there own it isn't enough to fill them.
We're in desperate need of more kitten milk I'm halfway through my second tub since buying 2 Wednesday night.
And also wood based cat litter and kitten food. Any donations would be really appreciated ❤️
Thank you to all the people that shared our post for Missy.
Sadly tonight Missy crossed rainbow Bridge 😭
Missy was loved by her daddy to the end run free sweetheart 🐾🌈
Long shot but does anyone North hull way have a small puppy pen I could borrow please for the kittens
Goodnight ❤️💞
Do I have anyone close to pets at home Anlaby that could grab some kitten replacement milk before they close I can send the money I need it at a foster in gypsyville 🤞🙏
** Trixie now has a lift to the vets thank you so much 💗 xx **
Trixies babies are now weaned and she is booked in for spay on Friday.
Is there anyone Greatfield area that could possibly drop her off at The gables on first lane hessle for 9.20am xx
Meet missy 🥰
Through no fault of her own this beautiful older girl desperately needs a sofa to snuggle on, unfortunately her owners health is Declining and unfortunately he is no longer able to care for Missy.
Missy is 19 and spayed she has been an outdoor cat but due to her age I'm looking for someone that can offer her the love and safety of an indoor home.
If you have space on your sofa for this beautiful girl please drop me a message xx

🤞 that link works 🤣
Meet Ophelia.
Ophelia decided on Friday night that her foster was not allowed in her own bedroom and unfortunately decided to attack her 😥 were unsure what triggered this and we attended immediately thanks to my son for coming out so late to help 🙏.
We removed ophelia who has her own baby +1 and I made the decision to take all the hand feeders with me. Ophelia has been a good mum but due to not knowing what caused this attack I made the decision to hand feed them all for there own safety and if I'm feeding 2 I might aswell feed them all.
A massive thank you for the donation of Lactol milk from Tricia Schofield it was really appreciated these are hungry babies 🤣
If anyone would like to help we have an amazon wishlist with some of the items we use https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3KRFHY64X55HM?ref_=wl_share
We're greatfull for any help, if you prefer to buy elsewhere were always happy to provide our address some people prefer this method ❤️
Meet Indie we were contacted by the owner who was struggling and asked if we could rehome this beautiful girl.
We found an amazing lady to foster her she even helped by collecting Indie for me while I'm without transport.
On Saturday I received an amazing message from the foster telling me Indie has found her forever home with them 😍 thank you for giving her an amazing home 💞 xx
Update time
Sorry I havnt been online much recently but things have been a little crazy around here.
A lady contacted us a couple of weeks ago asking for help.
Mum cat decided 3 weeks in that she wasn't interested in her babies anymore and the lady needed help for them.
We moved mum and babies into foster where we already had a mum feeding, it's not something I have done before but a couple of the babies were very small compared to there siblings so the decision was made to see if Ophelia would accept 2 more babies as she only had 1 herself which she did no problem for a few days then the smallest of the 2 was left with mum as we didn't want to risk her own baby not receiving enough milk. The rest of the litter have been hand fed
All sorted now thank you ❤️
Massive ask on a horrible day.
Do I have anyone that could pop and buy some food and litter for 1 of my fosters and drop off near bransholme centre. I can transfer the money over to you really stuck without my car at the minute and the lady needs it desperately xx
Do we by any chance have anyone who will be passing Doncaster in the next few days In a van or car with roof rack that could collect something for the cats please xx
Would like to thank everyone involved in getting mum and babies safe.
Massive thank you to Lisa Cass who only came for a rabbit hutch and kindly collected mum and baby and dropped them with there temporary foster.
Huge thank you to philippa parsons for taking mum and babies in and finding the cause of mum being unable to eat for the last couple of days.
Please make sure when your disposing of bones that animals won't be able to get hold of them this poor girl had a chunk of bone stuck in the roof of her mouth meaning she has been unable to eat and unable to feed her babies as she hardly has any milk. This in turn caused mum to be grumpy towards her babies as she must be in pain trying to feed all her babies with barley any milk.
Temporary space haa been found but we still need someone that can take mum and her babies in until there ready for rehoming
Please anyone that can hand feed I desperately need your help mum is struggling to eat (Believed to have a sore on the roof of her mouth) and babies are hungry even if its for a couple of days until I find somewhere everything will be provided xx

Good morning, im going to try and do a few updates today but before I get to that I've had a few requests for help do we have anyone on here interested in fostering? Everything is provided you just need a safe space/spare room.
Drop me a message if you would like to discuss further ❤
Please share 🙏
Update on mum and baby collected from a garden off Anlaby Road Tuesday.
Mum is being very protective but doing an amazing job I'm sure it won't take long for her to settle and start trusting our foster more ❤️
Baby will be 3 weeks old on Thursday 🥰😍
Prince update
We've been spending alot of time with Prince and he has welcomed all affection and attention but only seems to react to me (lashing out) he didn't scratch it was more of a warning when I was stroking him.
It is leading me to believe he is possibly more of a man's cat xx
A little update about mum and babies caught Saturday from there foster and some pictures ❤️
Mum and all 4 kittens are doing great and will all take food from there hand now 😍 thank you to everyone that helps make this possible.
Yesterday we had a request for help another mum and 4 babies living in someone's garden. This 1 has been a joint effort as having no car only the quad makes it rather tricky.
We went ahead on the quad and with the help of Lisa Cass having a trap and carrier closest to where I needed them and Nick Forest for bringing them out too us and also taking me plus mum and babies over to there foster.
Karl managed to catch 2 by hand when we arrived but 2 went back under the shed to hide. Luckily mum had taken a wonder, she brought back a mouse for her babies and called them out
We hatched a plan managed to block the hole, the finder could pick mum up so she picked up mum and placed her inside the kittens then hid in the bushes where between us we managed to get a kitten each.
The kittens were clearly scared but are strong and healthy even if they are bitey 🤣🤣.
Massive thank you to our foater for agreeing to take this little family in ❤️
Can you help us to keep helping?
Can you spare even £1 a month it doesn't seem much but they soon add up, we have 1036 followers £1 each would be £1036 a month to help get these babies the lives the homes they deserve
Thank you to each and every person that supports us big or small we appreciate it all xx
Prince update.
We've been to the vets this afternoon where he was a really good boy and allowed the vet to give him a good check over
Prince is showing no signs of illness or distress his teeth were checked his heart and his temperature taken. The vet can find nothing of concern and he is in perfectly good health.
Prince has recently been neutered and will still have hormaons that he is dealing with and the vet has also heard of cases similar where some cats don't like the hormoans given off by pregnant ladies.
It was agreed rehoming him was the best course of action as nobody wants to risk there childrens safety and if the lady was to expand her family this could happen again if its the scent he doesn't like.
We will be testing how he reacts with other cats once his hornoans settle then we can decide what home will be right for Prince ❤️

As you can see Dotty is quite alot smaller than her brothers and even though they all happily eat I decided to add extra milk feeds in through the day as they would have still been feeding from mum too. We're now down to our last couple of packets so if anyone has any Royal canin babycat milk they no longer need please drop me a message they don't have long dates on them and would happily give you some money for any you no longer need
Please share Does anyone know who this person is who thought it was acceptable to steal a dog crate out of my garden. You have 24 hours to return this to my garden before I take the footage to the police you have been caught on several cameras people should learn to look up
Had a vet trip this morning with sonny he is from the litter I had at the vets back in April when baby had a sticky eye. I woke up yesterday to find him quieter than usual and suspected he had hurt himself playing with his siblings as his appetite was normal he just seemed sore on his back legs. I kept an eye on him all day yesterday but this morning he was struggling to keep himself steady when standing so I rang the vets. Sonny was seen by 2 vets as the symptoms he is displaying at his age could mean he has a condition called cerebellarhypoplasia, the vets want to rule out anything else first which requires him to have a blood test if there all clear he is going to need another procedure (spinal tap) that he may have to be refereed to a specialist for. We have no idea at the moment what the total cost will be until we carry out the blood tests to give us a better idea on the cause. I do have a short video that I will add in the comments so you can chose to watch if you want. Please don't worry he isn't in any kind of pain and is settled on my fluffy rugs safely in my bedroom where he cannot hurt himself listen to that purr bless him. Any donations towards his treatment would be really appreciated xx
Little Prince is still.struggling with his breathing after 2 lots of antibiotics so we have another appointment for him at the vets this afternoon. Thank you to everyone that donates to our rescue we had hoped to use the money this month towards spaying and neutering but things never go to plan and making Prince better is a priority at the minute ❤ so thank you everyone we really appreciate your help xx
