Today is World Cat Domination Day! 🐱

If you have a feline companion who rules the roost at your home, please do let us know what they get up to! 🐈

If you don't have a cat yet, we have some absolutely wonderful kitties who would love to come and live with you- Please check out our website 🐱🐰www.saarescue.co.uk🐰🐱 to find out if your PURRfect match is waiting! 🙏

🐱Do you know our family?🐱

A kind member of the public has just handed in three black/black and white kittens in a Vileda mop cardboard box which they found in Sale Water Park car park 😿

Please see the reel for picture of the box and kittens🐈🐈🐈

If they have accidentally been left there somehow, please can the owners get in touch ASAP. Proof of ownership will be required before they can be returned🙏

If they have been left deliberately, it would still be very helpful if their owners could get in touch to formally sign them over and give us full information📞

As explained in previous posts, we are well beyond capacity and are running short of cat and kitten food so if anyone can donate whiskas kitten food; whiskas 1 plus sachets; Felix adult or Felix as good as it looks adult, we would be beyond grateful 🍽 we are very happy to accept loose sachets and tins from multipacks in flavours that your cats don't like 😹 Donations can be dropped or sent to the Sanctuary at SAA, Mosley Acre Farm, off Dane Road, Stretford/Sale, M32 9UP or via our Amazon wish list which is on our Link tree. Thanks so so much for your support which is much appreciated 😍

🐾We know they are utterly adorable but please no rehoming enquiries at this time for these three- however, we have many other cats and kittens desperate to be adopted and we would love to chat to you about all of them!🐾

❤️Long term foster home urgently required❤️

Sweet girl Tigga has found herself in our care at 19 and half years old! Despite her age she seems in good health - although she does have limited eye sight and hearing.

Tigga is a gentle girl who loves a fuss and cuddle and will take any chance to curl up on someone’s knee.

She is looking for a quiet foster home where she can spend the rest of her life being loved and spoilt like she deserves ❤️

We will cover all costs including vet bills for Tigga and can provide any items such as beds, scratching post etc needed.

We would love to get her into foster asap as rescue is not ideal for her. Even if yoi can't foster, someone in your network might be her PURRfect retirement family so please, please like and share this post far and wide so we can get her settled asap!

If you think you could provide a loving long term foster home for Tigga please email the office to discuss further [email protected]

🐱Special Appeal for extra special kitties🐱

We have a number of cats who have been overlooked but that we know will flourish in the right home 🏡

Tigger and Sergio are six year old sisters looking for a home together. Tigger is playful; affectionate and enjoys attention. Sergio is a sweet girl who enjoys a fuss on her own terms but prefers to sit and observe and is finding the rescue environment overwhelming. Adult home sought 🐱

Gracie and Bobby are a mother and son pair. Gracie is around two and Bobby is seven months old. They are nervous but are making incredible progress. We are looking for a very quiet home with owners who will continue to work with them and take things at their pace 🐈🐈

Molly is 13 years old and her best friend Muppet is 8 years old. Muppet is vocal, affectionate and always happy. Molly finds rescue overwhelming but she is a very sweet girl who enjoys being stroked and will thrive in a home. They need a nice quiet home with an owner that will be patient with Molly as she adjusts 💗

Buffy is seven months old and is constantly amazing us with her progress. She arrived a very scared little kitten but is thriving now. She would benefit from a quiet home with patient owner and ideally a confident cat to show her the ropes and help her continue to come out of her shell🐱

Timothy is ten months old and Eileen is nine years old. Timothy is happy and confident but Eileen is struggling in the rescue environment. They are looking for an owner who will be happy to take things at Eileen's pace and won't push her into interaction too soon. They will bring a lot of joy to the right home. 😍

Cookie is a two year old sweet but sassy girl. She is looking for an adult only home with no pets. Cookie is brilliant but can swipe if you displease her! She is doing wonderfully in a pet free foster and would like a similar set up in her forever home please🙏

Maisie is around two and an absolute joy, having come in with her kittens. However she has had some trauma in the past and initially she did swipe when scared so we are looking for an adult only home!

Please see their bios on saarescue.co.uk for full details. Home check and adoption fee apply🐱🐰

😭URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP AND DONATIONS PLEASE😭

Unfortunately, less than 24 hours after the previous two cats were handed in, having been found left in a carrier by a road (bottom row of picture), two more cats were found abandoned overnight at the gates of the Sanctuary in the pouring rain (top row of picture) 😿

This is incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons but fortunately both cats (and the two earlier admissions) are alright. If anybody recognises either set of cats, please do get in touch 📞

Despite being completely full already, all four cats are now safe in our care and having some well deserved TLC from the team💗

We will now have to pay for all four cats to be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, healthchecked, flea treated and wormed as well as the ongoing daily cost of food (and the odd treato of course!) 🐈

This is now an extra four mouths to feed when our finances are tight and our food supplies are dwindling! 🐱🐱🐱🐱

We are currently running short on Felix for adult cats and Whiskas 1+ pouches🍽

We would really appreciate any donations of these two specific foods. They can be dropped off at the Sanctuary; sent from online shops to SAA, Mosley Acre Farm, off Dane Road, Sale/Stretford, M32 9UP or bought through our Amazon wishlist (please see our link tree for the link) 💻

We would also hugely appreciate any donations towards vet bills for these four animals in our care, as well as all the other hungry mouths we have to feed! We have added a fundraiser to this post but donations can also be made through our SAA Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/saarescue or JustGiving https://www.justgiving.com/sfaa 🙏

Thanks so much for your support as ever 🐱🐰

🐱Do you know our family?Please help reunite us🐱

These beautiful girls, who are estimated to be young adults of around one year, were found together in a green and grey carrier on Half Edge Lane in Eccles by a kind member of the public at around 10-11am this morning. They are not chipped.

It may be that they were, sadly, dumped there but equally they may have been left by accident or by an unscrupulous neighbour for some reason or so on.

If these are your cats or you know who they belong to, please get in touch ASAP. Proof of ownership will be required.

It is always useful to have details from the owners on surrendered animals so we can find them the most suitable home possible so if the owner does see this and doesn't feel able to reclaim them, it would still be helpful for them to get in touch please.

We would appreciate people sharing this post if possible!

Thank you! 🐱🐰www.saarescue.co.uk🐰🐱

Here at , we absolutely adore all our cat and bunny residents and our devoted team and volunteers try to give them the best lives possible when they are with us - incredible bunny snack only allotment anyone?! 🐰

However, we know that it is still not as good as a devoted FURever home and our animals are so, so keen to join a family as soon as possible 🏡 they will be absolutely amazing additions and bring so much joy 😍

In addition, when one of our animals is adopted, it frees a space for another animal in need - of which there are sadly very many right now 😭

At the moment, we are beyond full and we have some animals who have been with us a very long time - please get in touch if you would like to adopt any of our gorgeous cats or bunnies - our lovely team would love to chat to you on a completely no obligation basis! 🙏 All animals have detailed bios on our website 💻

We would especially like to find homes for our longest staying animals as they really don't deserve to be overlooked 😩

Please check out longest staying kitty Cookie at www.saarescue.co.uk/cats/cookie

Our longest staying buns have been with us since 2021 - we would love to see them binkying in their HOPpily ever after this summer www.saarescue.co.uk/rabbits/snowy-and-fudge

If you can't adopt at the moment, you can still help our animals! Please tell your friends and family about us and follow us on social media to share our posts - this increases the chances of our animals being spotted by the ideal adopter!💕

Our beautiful Roberto is sadly still waiting for his home and has not had any interest at all 😭

Roberto is only a young cat but has been through so much - he came to us with a broken leg and was such a good and patient boy whilst it healed, quickly becoming a team favourite! 😇

Sadly, just as he was about to be moved to rehoming, he developed symptoms of FIP. This used to be fatal but very recently an amazing treatment has been developed - the team worked quickly with our amazing vets to get treat Roberto and his life was saved! 💕

However, due to his medical history, nobody has expressed any interest - however his leg has healed brilliantly and the treatment should mean he does not get FIP again 🙏

He is the most handsome and wonderful boy and we KNOW his PURRfect family is out there - we just have to reach them - if you are interested in Roberto, please get in touch but even if you can't adopt him, please like and share this video so we can find his family ASAP as he has been with us for many months and our little survivor really deserves his haPURRly ever after 😍

You can read more about FIP at fipcatsuk.com and about Roberto on his bio www.saarescue.co.uk/cats/roberto

Please please help Roberto find his home by liking and sharing this post as widely as possible ♥️

June is Pet Preparedness Month - encouraging people to make plans for their pets for any number of potential emergencies 😳

It is therefore fitting that FROM TODAY, all cats need to be microchipped. Microchipping helps mitigate a common emergency - your beloved pet has wandered and needs to be reunited with you 😍

You can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cat-microchipping-now-mandatory #:~:text=All%20cat%20owners%20should%20now,an%20approved%20pet%20microchipping%20database.

If you have an eligible cat who ia not yet microchipped and you have concerns, please speak to your vet without delay as they will be able to explain the process 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Many people don't know that rabbits can also be microchipped- our friends at
are running an event chipping your bunnies for Rabbit Awareness Week on Sunday 23 June so please check it out if you would like to have this added security, should your rabbit escape 🐰

Thanks so much to everyone who came down to support the charity today at the jumble and plant sale - we raised over £475 which is phenomenal and all goes to looking after our beautiful animals whilst they wait for forever homes! 💗

Special thanks to the team who kindly volunteered their time, especially at the very last minute! 🤩

We have a number of other forthcoming events listed on our FB events page so please do have a look and pop them in your diary and spread the word! We would really appreciate as much support as possible in these challenging times 😻

Thanks so much everybody! 🐱🐰

Dearest gentle readers... We would like to introduce you to our very handsome and extremely eligible Henry James Tiddles Esq, who is looking for suitable accommodation with loving servants of his own ♥️

Mr Tiddles used to be a true cat about town, prowling the streets of Trafford having fun until a kind person offered to be his staff on a temporary basis and he moved in 💕

Having now tasted domestic life, Henry James Tiddles is very much a fan and is now looking for his own permanent humans to dedicate their lives to meeting his every need 🙏 It is especially important that meals are served on schedule as he is very vocal in raising his concerns to his current team when they are running even a few minutes late 🤣

Mr Tiddles Esq is a handsome black panther of a cat of around two years old with a little auburn beard and a tiny white tuft on his chest - he really is adorable! 💙

He is a true convert to home comforts and his ideal home would be one where he isn't left too long, as he does enjoy human companionship and plenty of fuss and cuddles. As a friendly and confident cat, it is likely he could happily live with other cats and possibly a calm and cat friendly dog. He would like access to the outdoors when he has settled in 🏡

You can see more photos of this handsome young man and read more about him on his bio: www.saarescue.co.uk/cats/hjt 🐱

Please note home check and adoption donation will apply. Animal viewings by appointment only after an adoption form has been completed and reviewed.

Thanks so much in advance if anyone can help for as much or as little of the event as they can 🤞

Today is so we thought it'd be a great day to highlight all the bunnies in our care who are waiting for forever homes with their best friends 💗

Rabbits are extremely sociable animals and it is imperative they live in bonded pairs or groups🐰🐰

We have lots of ready made friendship pairs and a trio of bunnies waiting ever so patiently for their forever homes🏡

Minimum size accommodation for a pair of medium sized bunnies is 60sqft of predator proof space. Our friendly team can explain this to you if you are interested in rehoming, of course! 😍

Homecheck and adoption donations applies

If you would like more information about any of our rabbits please visit their bios on www.saarescue.co.uk or drop us an email to [email protected] 🐱🐰

How gorgeous are our M and R kittens? 😻

We currently have seven kittens with us who are keen to find their forever homes! 🐾

Rocco, Rufus, Ranger and Rascal are absolutely gorgeous 14 week old boys and are looking for homes as two pairs. All four are happy and confident but Rufus and Rascal are the most outgoing so we would like them to be paired with one of their slightly more cautious brothers, Ranger and Rocco, as this will help everybody settle in well! You can read their full bios and find their adoption interest form here: https://www.saarescue.co.uk/cats/ranger-rascal-rocco-and-rufus/

Miles and Mickey are 13 week old brothers and are also looking for a home together. They are absolutely adorable and very playful!

Miley is their sister and is very (very, very) confident and adventurous. She is looking for a home with an existing young and playful cat or with her brothers Miles and Mickey if anybody would like to adopt a trio of beautiful kittens!

Their siblings have been happily rehomed already so they would very much like it to be their turn now!

Their bio and interest form can be found here: https://www.saarescue.co.uk/cats/miles-mickey-and-miley/

All seven are neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated and ready to go to their new homes. They need a home with safe access to the outdoors when they’re older, away from any busier roads. Please see their bios for full details of their PURRfect homes.

For more information please see their profiles on our website or drop us an email for a no obligation chat! Please note that the boys will need to go in the pair's indicated and Miley either with her brothers or to a home with a young cat to play with - none of the kittens will be rehomed as solo cat.

We also have many other older cats looking for homes and many can be adopted as solo cats however - If you’re interested in adopting any of our lovely cats please fill out our cat adoption interest form and we will be in touch ASAP!

All adoptions are subject to homecheck and adoption donation and all appointments to meet the cats must be pre booked with the team after completion and review of the interest form.

Oh no! Poor Teddy hasn't got a cup for his drink!! 😭

This is a a long shot but we are preparing for our events and we are very short of decent sized disposable cups suitable for hot drinks - if anyone knows any wholesalers/rebranding coffee shops etc that might want to donate any, we would be incredibly grateful! Our cafe is very popular at events and is a major source of funds so any help would be appreciated! 🙏

Please spread the word if you know anyone who might be able to help! ☕

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we would like to remember with immense gratitude the service and sacrifice made by so many👩‍✈️

Our founder Peggy served as a volunteer in the ATS prior to the outbreak of World War II and then served in the WAAF through the war and into peace time, being awarded an MBE for her contributions. Her husband, Hendy, also had a distinguished military career before, during and after the war. You can read more about Peggy here: https://www.saarescue.co.uk/a-tribute-to-peggy-henderson/ 🐾

We would also like to remember the many animals who served so bravely but are sometimes overlooked, including the "paradogs" - three of whom parachuted onto the Normandy beaches with their handlers 80 years ago today. Pictured here is Brian (Bing) receiving the Dickens Medal for his valour🏅You can learn more about him and his friends here: https://nmwdm.org.uk/parachuting-dogs-d-day/ 🐾
