💔 Meet Smudge & Alfie, read their sad story 💔

Last Tuesday, we welcomed Smudge and Alfie into our care after their beloved owner sadly passed away on Boxing Day. These two beautiful cats had been left alone in their home for some time while their owner was in hospital. A neighbor had been feeding them, but they had no real love, comfort, or care, and were at risk of being thrown into the streets by the council.

Sadly the family handling the estate in Leeds were not animal people and didn’t know anything about the cats including the cats’ names. We were told they were around 7 years old, but when Smudge arrived, it was clear she was much older. She was so scared, hissing and spitting, running around the room terrified, with the saddest eyes we’ve seen in a long time. She ate well, but her distress didn’t ease.

On Saturday, we finally managed to bring in Alfie, and everything changed. He is a huge, loving furball, and the moment he arrived, Smudge started to relax. However, after speaking to their original vets we quickly realized that both cats are actually around 15 years old and are in poor condition as they’d not seen a vet in over 10 years.

Both Smudge and Alfie have a vet appointment on Tuesday:
🐾 Smudge has issues with her mouth and walks strangely—she will need further treatment.
🐾 Alfie is severely matted and will need to be shaved as a minimum.
🐾 Both will require blood tests to assess their overall health.

These two seniors have lost everything—their home, the only owner they’ve ever known, and their sense of security. Now, they need all the love and care we can give them plenty of that with your help. If you’d like to donate towards their vet bills, it would be hugely appreciated by the cats and us too.

We’ll keep you updated on their journey. Welcome to safety, Smudge & Alfie. You’re not alone anymore. 🖤🐾

Special Home Needed for queen Cotton

Cotton is a beautiful and sweet girl who has been with us for quite some time—she’s actually our longest resident here at Marla’s Cat Rescue! In fact, she’s been with us longer than the rescue itself has been running.

This queen has faced a few challenges in her past, and since she’s been with us, but those have all been resolved, and now she’s ready to find her perfect forever home. She’s around 3 years old, spayed and chipped.

Cotton’s Ideal Home:
🐾 She must be the only pet in the household—Cotton doesn’t get along with other cats.
🐾 She needs to be an indoor-only cat for her safety and comfort as she’s never been outside. A Catio/cat safe garden would be amazing.
🐾 No small children, as she thrives best in a calm and quiet environment.

When Cotton first came to us, she was severely underweight at just 2kg. Thanks to her incredible foster mum, she’s not only healthy now but perhaps a little too spoiled—she could do with going on a bit of a diet!

Despite everything she’s been through, Cotton remains a loving cat who adores attention and can be playful. That said, she’s a queen with boundaries and will let you know when she needs her space.

If you believe you can offer this special girl the loving home she deserves, please get in touch with us.

Home check and adoption fee apply.

Please share so we can help Cotton find the perfect place where she can finally live the life she’s waited so long for. 🐾🧡

Kesari, Romeo, Honey Blossom, and Shiva!

Just look at these four beauties 😻—sitting patiently waiting for treats on New Year’s morning! These are four of the very timid and scared cats we trapped in Chapeltown back in November 2024.

Under the care of their amazing foster mum, Sarah, they’ve come a long way. She’s been working her magic, teaching them how to play and enjoy strokes. They now love treats, playtime, and even watching Cat TV! (Check out the video in our next post!)

These four special cats are still timid and will need patient, quiet, understanding homes. Although they’re not quite ready for adoption yet, we’re happy to take expressions of interest now.

What they’ll need:
🐾 A quiet home without small children.
🐾 Possibly a pet-safe garden they could explore when they’re ready.
🐾 They haven’t been tested around dogs yet.
🐾 Ideally, they’ll be adopted in pairs to provide each other comfort and companionship.

If you think you could offer these special cats the love and patience they need in the future, please drop us a message. A home check and adoption fee will apply.

They will eventually make great companions.

Can You Offer Jasper & Joey a Forever Home?

Meet Jasper and Joey, a pair of loving brothers searching for their forever home—together. These boys are absolute sweethearts, and you won’t find more affectionate boys anywhere!

Jasper is the ultimate cuddle bug, happily jumping onto your shoulder to give kisses. He adores being held and purrs like a train. Joey is equally loving and will demand your attention, whether you’re ready for it or not! He’s also full of personality—the daftest cat you’ll ever meet. However, Joey has no sense of danger, so for their safety, Jasper and Joey are best suited as indoor cats, ideally with access to a secure, cat-safe garden.

These boys are not only adorable but unique—Jasper has a little heart-shaped marking on his chest, while Joey has heart-shaped markings on his nose and side (depending on how he’s sitting!). They’re confident, playful, and will settle beautifully into a loving home, making them the purrfect pair for someone special.

Jasper and Joey are approximately 7-8 months old, chipped, neutered, and ready to start the next chapter of their lives. Could that be with you?

A home check and adoption fee apply.

Autumn Update

Poor Autumn has been back to the vets again. This sweet girl is still struggling with lingering cat flu, which has been making her feel so unwell. She’s now on another three-week course of antibiotics, along with eye drops and Metacam 💔.

Autumn has also been separated from her kittens, who are now old enough to leave her, and moved to a new foster home where she’s the only cat. This will give her the space and care she needs to recover and prepare for her next chapter—a loving forever home.

Despite everything, Autumn remains the sweetest, most loving girl. She’s soaking up all the love, attention, and food she wants, and after just a few days on antibiotics, she’s already showing signs of improvement.

We’re crossing our fingers that she continues to get better and stays well. This brave little lady deserves nothing but the best 🖤🐾🐈‍⬛.

Raffy Update!

Take a look at what a difference a few weeks of love and care can make! 💕

When poor Raffy came to us, she was in a heartbreaking state—weighing just over 2kg, with significant fur loss, and clearly traumatized by something. She was terrified of everything, even toys, and would hide, pull out her fur, and make herself bleed.

But with time, patience, and LOTS of gentle love and attention, Raffy has made incredible progress. Her fur is growing back beautifully, her skin has started to calm, and she’s even started to play with toys now! Seeing her personality shine through is so heartwarming—this sweet girl loves throwing herself on her back to demand tummy tickles.

Raffy is one of the lucky ones. She’s booked in to be spayed soon and continues to thrive under the care of our amazing foster carers Kate and Lee, who’ve given her so much love since she’s been with them.

Thank you for helping Raffy feel safe, happy, and loved maybe for the first time in her little life. She looks amazing, and even the vets are impressed with her progress! 🐾♥️

🆘Urgent Help Needed: Experienced Cat Trapper🆘

Is there anyone experienced in trapping cats who can help us? We’re desperate to catch a mum cat in Harehills. This poor girl has been living on the streets far too long, enduring harsh conditions and heartbreak.

She’s had multiple litters on her own. Tragically, her last litter all died except for one kitten, who was found dumped in a box alongside her deceased siblings, the finder just took the kitten inside. Thankfully, the surviving kitten was taken to an out-of-hours vet, hand reared and will be rehomed, but mum was left to fend for herself once again.

This beautiful long-haired black cat has learned to evade traps and now even avoids me when she sees my car. Unfortunately, there’s nowhere secure to leave a trap for her. We’re racing against time—she needs to be rescued before she gives birth alone again, or worse, succumbs to this brutal weather.

We have a foster home ready and waiting for her. If only she understood we’re trying to help.

If you have experience with cat trapping and can help, I can provide a trap. Please message me if you can assist in bringing this sweet girl to safety. Let’s give her the chance at the life she deserves. 🖤🐾
