Announcement 📢 📣 Microchipping event! Book your place now!

Microchipping is not only necessary by law (cats, dogs and bunnies included) but a microchip is also a golden ticket home in case of loss or theft etc. Sadly, most of the cats and bunnies we and others rescue remain unchipped or chip not registered or up to date! It's not only unlawful but it might mean a lost pet cannot be reunited....

Please book to get your pet microchipped. 🐈‍⬛🐕🐇

Please also message us for advice how to update an unregistered or not up to date chip.

We will microchip a healthy pet for a £5 donation. (Microchipping can cost 20-90£+ depending on the type of pet and health status.)

Note all cats and kittens MUST be chipped by 16 weeks old!

🎄 🐾❤️ Furry Advent Calendar – Day 24 – Benny – every kitten gets a chance! ❤️🐾 🎄
Benny came to us with birth defects—he was born with just one eye and a cleft lip. At first, we weren’t sure he would survive, but with the right veterinary care and the unwavering support of our Branch, Benny defied the odds and absolutely thrived! 🐾
Today, Benny is living his best life in his forever home, alongside his sibling, Teddy, who was featured in Advent Day #3. Together, they make the perfect bonkers pair! 💕
Every cat that comes into our care receives the best possible attention, but the reality is, veterinary bills can add up quickly. We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive, but we can always use a little extra help to continue giving cats like Benny the care they deserve. 💔
If you’d like to support our mission and help us with vet bills, please consider donating or getting in touch to learn more. Every bit makes a difference for cats like Benny who come into our care.
💡 Help Us Help More! 💡 As a small RSPCA Branch, we are wholly supported by volunteers to keep us going. If you’re passionate about animal welfare and would like to make a big difference in a small but impactful team, we’d love to hear from you! Could you be one of our future trustees?
Please get in touch if you’d like to volunteer at our Ampthill shop, foster for us, or even join our team as a Trustee. [email protected]

🎄 🐾 Furry Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Clawdia & Family 🐾 🎄
Introducing Mama Clawdia and her adorable little ones: Augustus, Clawdius, Julius, and Cassia. This sweet family’s story began with a rescue from a multi-cat household that had spiralled out of control. Mama Clawdia was suffering from a serious uterus infection, and she required an emergency spay and uterus removal when her kittens were just 5 weeks old. 😿
In addition to Mama’s health challenges, all of the kittens had eye infections that needed special care and treatment. But despite their rough start, Mama and her babies are now happy, healthy, and thriving in their forever homes. 🏡
It’s impossible to imagine what would have happened if they had stayed in that unsafe environment. This family was lucky, but so many others aren’t. This is why it’s so important to spay and neuter your pets—please, let’s prevent more suffering. 💔

🎄 🐾 Furry Advent Calendar – Day 21 – Chaos, Mayhem & Riot – the feral kittens 🐾 🎄
Born in a feral colony to a feral Mama we managed to trap the kittens at around seven weeks old and, after being absolute hissing hooligans for the first few days, they soon handed in their feral cards and are have their very own families ❤
💔 These kittens’ story is a beautiful reminder of the importance of spaying and neutering. If you are feeding stray cats that are not neutered, please reach out for help—there are resources available to prevent unnecessary suffering. Homeless cats need more than just food; they need a chance at a better life. 💔

🎄 🐾 Furry Advent Calendar – Day 20 – Tia Maria and her kittens find a safe and loving foster home 🐾 🎄
Tia Maria’s story is one of resilience and hope. This gorgeous young mama was discovered in an off-license warehouse, making a nest for her four tiny kittens under some pallets stacked with boxes of alcohol. Presumed to be a stray and without a microchip, Tia had chosen what she thought was a safe space to bring her babies into the world.
Thankfully, two dedicated fosterers came to her rescue! Though Tia wasn’t too keen on being helped at first, she quickly realised she was safe, loved, and well-fed. Under their care, Tia and her kittens blossomed. Each one, including Tia, has since found a loving forever home!
Tia was spayed and now enjoys her days with a wonderful family, where she’s thriving as the cherished pet she was always meant to be.
🐾 The importance of neutering: a female cat in heat will wander looking for males and might likely never return home, lost and left to fend for herself and her new kittens. ENSURE YOUR CAT IS NEUTERED as soon as possible and save the agony of lost, wandering cats and litters of vulnerable kittens.
🐾 Stories like Tia’s remind us of the power of compassion and the incredible difference adoption makes. If you’re looking to welcome a furry friend into your life, consider adopting and giving a cat like Tia the chance to shine!
