🆘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. 🖤🐾

Happy New Year! 🎉🐾

I’ve been a little quiet over Christmas as I’ve been so busy working, but I hope you all had a magical time! Now it’s time to welcome 2025 with open arms. 🥳🖤🐈‍⬛

2024 has been an incredible year—one that saw the opening of Marla’s Cat Rescue. The support you’ve all given has been absolutely overwhelming, and I’m so grateful to every single one of you.

A massive thank you to:
🐾 Our amazing fosterers who have opened their homes to care for vulnerable cats and kittens until they found their forever families.
🐾 Everyone who has donated money towards our vet bills, provided items for our events, shared and commented on our posts, and helped spread the word.
🐾 And importantly, to all the wonderful new owners who have adopted our fur babies and given them loving homes.

As we step into 2025, we still have some work ahead:
We’re starting the year with vet bills to pay
Some of our cats still need neutering ✂️
We need to provide food, litter, and ongoing vet care for those still in our care.🍗🩺
We welcome any donations and are always grateful 🙏🏻🐾

A Happy New Beginning for Jinx and Jet!

We’re thrilled to share that Jinx and Jet went to their forever home last Monday! These two special cats were the last of our rescues to find new homes in 2024, and their story is a heartwarming one.

While they were on their way to the vets for neutering, our wonderful head vet nurse fell in love with them and asked if she could give them a forever home. Of course, we couldn’t say no! 🖤🐾

They’ve been with Emma and her husband for a week now and are settling in beautifully. A huge thank you to them for giving Jinx and Jet such a loving home and to Roseina for doing an incredible job fostering them and preparing them for this new chapter.

Have the happiest, longest life, gorgeous babies. We will miss you but you more than deserve it! 🖤🐈‍⬛🐾

Thank you Ginger Cat Crafts what a lovely thing to do. We appreciate it 🐾🐈‍⬛🖤

It’s been a long time coming for these two, as they’ve had a few challenges along the way. But the best things come to those who wait, and these stunning little ones have truly landed on their paws with their new mum and dad—just in time for Christmas! 🎄🐾

They’ve already started settling in beautifully. A huge thank you to Clare for opening her heart and giving them both a forever home, and to everyone who played a part in fostering and caring for them.

Welcome, Raffy, to the Rescue Family

Last Friday, during the torrential rain, this poor girl was found stuck up a tree. Nearby, her carrier was discovered with a blanket and an empty food dish. We can only imagine the heartbreak Raffy has endured, but she’s now safe and starting a new chapter filled with love, care and belly rubs on demand.

Raffy has some fur loss and, despite receiving a flea treatment, her skin remains irritated, so she will be visiting the vet this week. We also suspect she might be pregnant 💔—and she’s just a baby herself. It’s truly heartbreaking to think about the cruelty some animals face.

A huge thank you to Na Da for braving the rain to rescue Raffy and keeping her safe until a foster home became available. Also, a massive thank you to Kate and Lee for welcoming Raffy into your home and providing her with the love, care, and attention she so desperately needed. Her life will only improve from here.

If you’d like to donate toward Raffy’s upcoming care, please use “Raffy” as a reference:

Say Hello to Domino

Please also meet Domino, another rescue found on Friday. This poor girl was apparently trying to get into someone’s house, and it’s heartbreaking to think she might have been their cat. Over the past 15 years, I’ve taken in many cats and kittens from this same family. They claimed Domino just showed up at their door and wouldn’t leave.

When we arrived to collect her, Domino had no fight left in her. She was so subdued, she didn’t react to meeting me or being handled; it was as though she had completely given up 💔.

But since Friday, we’ve already seen glimmers of hope. Domino has been eating, using her litter tray, and even playing! She’s receiving all the love, care, and food she needs to regain her strength.

Unfortunately, like many others, she is unspayed, so we don’t yet know if she could be pregnant—but we hope not. This beautiful girl is now safe, and her life is only going to get better from here.

A huge thank you to Tamara for coming with me to collect Domino and for taking her into foster care.

Welcome to a New Life, Beautiful Girl (no name yet)

This poor little darling is now in our care. When she was found, she was filthy, shivering from the cold, and very hungry. She’s just a baby—maybe around 3 months old.

Thanks to a little TLC, she’s already looking so much better in such a short space of time. It’s amazing what love and a bit of care can do.

A huge thank you to Hannah for taking her in and giving her a safe, warm, and loving place to call home until she’s ready to find her forever family.

Your new life starts here, little girl. 💕

Please be careful if you have a tree with fake snow. 🐈‍⬛🖤🐾

WARNING JUST HAD THIS INBOXED
A cat licked the families new christmas tree which has the fake snow on it. After she couldn't walk, her eyes were all over the place and she was dribbling at the mouth. Lucky the vet was still open and kept her in over night on a drip. These trees are toxic to cats! There is no warning on the box. Luckily the cat is now doing ok but please be warned about fake snow!

(We often tell people about this problem every year but for some reason some people just don't believe it)

Introducing the four beauties trapped in Chapeltown last week! These little ones are settling in wonderfully—they’re eating, drinking, learning to play, and slowly starting to accept strokes. Their foster mum is doing an amazing job with them and has chosen some beautiful names.

So please meet Shiva, Romeo, Honey Blossom, and Kesari!

We can’t wait to watch them grow and thrive in their foster home. A huge thank you to their foster mum for giving them such a great start to their new lives!

Last night was a busy and freezing, but it was worth every second. We managed to trap 9 cats/kittens from one location. These poor babies have been outside for some time, how they managed to survive in this freezing weather is beyond us. Thankfully, they are now safe, warm, and have full tummies.

We’ve taken 4 into Marla’s Cat Rescue, while Joanne from Save a Stray has taken the other 5, including the dad cat. Sadly, no mum cats were found, but we think we know where they might be. We’ll be working with the owner to ensure the mum cat(s) are spayed.

A massive thank you to Alison Gibson and Sharon McLoughlin for trapping them, and to Joanne Holmes and her amazing team, who drove miles to collect the 5 babies. Huge thanks as well to Natasha Nevison and Roseina Rose for temporarily holding these little ones until they can see the vet tomorrow before moving to a lovely foster home. All are very scared at the moment but we are hopeful they will get there.

Amazing teamwork all around, and most importantly, another 9 lives saved! Thank you to everyone who made this rescue possible. More pictures to follow once they’ve settled a bit. If you can help with fostering PLEASE message us. Without you we can’t help them and it’s so rewarding 🐾🖤🐈‍⬛
