Ollie!
Yesterday was #gingercatappreciationday and we didn't want to miss the opportunity to introduce lovely Ollie ❤ Ollie has recently arrived in our care and will be fully health checked and assessed, but we are sure it won't be long until he is ready to find his forever home! We would love to see your photos to belatedly celebrate ginger kitties!
For anyone feeling a little deflated after the football, we think this video of Martha’s kittens waking up might just lift your spirits ❤️ #FootballMightNotHaveComeHomeButWeContinueToRehome

Lloyd ❤️
Lloyd came to us as an injured stray, unneutered, unhappy in our company and showing scars of a life lived on the streets - unloved and uncared for. We have given him time to decompress and learn to trust us, to gain confidence and know he is safe from harm. Over the last week or two he has really turned a corner. With the help of our amazing volunteers, he has started to come out of his shell. We have tried to find a toy to encourage him to play, who knew he would ignore everything except an irresistible pink shoe lace! Lloyd is now neutered, FIV tested, vaccinated and has had a dental. We are hoping he will soon be ready to find his purrfect new home ❤️
Welcome to the world ❤️
Welcome to the world - Martha has had her kittens, mum and babies are doing well ❤️
Martha is barely more than a kitten herself and we believe this may not be her first litter, please be a responsible pet owner and #snipandspay
Many organisations like RSPCA and Cats Protection can help towards the cost of neuter if you are in receipt of certain benefits, please get in touch with your local branch to see if you are eligible for assistance.
Our amazing Alnwick charity shop manager’s equally talented hubby made us some fab ramps for the cattery, which we use when the cats might need a little help getting onto their ‘top bunk’ - here’s lovely Lacey, demonstrating how clever she is learning to use her ramp straight away! Lacey was recently neutered so we didn’t want her leaping around too much, but she has made a perfect recovery from her operation!
Handsome Tiger is enjoying watching the comings and goings in our little wildlife garden 🪴 We hope the view from our cattery windows helps to keep the cats entertained during their stay with us, until they are ready to find their forever homes 🏡
We thought you might like to see our lovely cat rooms, where most of our kitties stay during their recovery from neglect, injury or abandonment after being brought in by our Inspectors - until they are ready to find their forever homes. Recent arrival Carrie is kindly (if slightly unusually!) demonstrating her cat steps and her ‘bunk bed’ which we feel gives the resident cats a choice to have a hidden or a high resting place. Our rooms have a great view of allotments, and others now look onto our wildlife garden, for extra stimulation. The kitties have toys, scratching posts, a warm bed by the radiator for cooler days and a few hiding places if they are feeling a little shy. This is only possible because of the wonderful support we receive with public donations, our charity shop income and donations of beds, blankets and toys from our fabulous supporters 💕
Carrie arrived recently following reports of concerns for her welfare. She is at least 3kg overweight, so we have had her vet checked and bloods taken to check for any underlying health condition. Despite her young age, she is now on pain relief for very sore joints, and she is already moving a lot better than when she arrived. We are encouraging her to do some gentle exercise and have her on a strict diet and we are optimistic she will be feeling much better soon and ready to find a loving new home ❤️
Rupert thinks he has found the TV....
