❤️ Humphrey Update ❤️
We caught Humphrey as he was hanging around a busy area in bury with a bad limp. He wasn't able to weight bear on his leg, so we trapped him and took him to a specialist. He had a severely damaged leg that needed to be amputated.
Humphrey was already neutered, ear tipped and was acting feral when he was caught. Due to his amputation, he needed to be crated with us to heal. During that time, we were deciding whether he needed to find a farm home or if he would tame up to be rehomable.
Humphrey has learned to trust in foster care, and we feel he can become tame. He is relaxed around humans and takes food from his foster carer’s hands. We haven't pushed stroking him yet we are just being patient and going at his pace.
He has healed now, so his crate door is open for him to leave as he pleases or use it as a hideaway if he needs it. Here, he was previously taking food from his foster parents.
We like to give every cat a chance at a home life, but we follow their lead. Since Humphrey is relaxed with us, we will continue working with him, and we are hopeful he will become tame in time. He has shown great progress already.
* We dont normally crate cats - we only use them for emergencies or if they are sick, injured or recovering from a procedure*
A mum cat gave birth to kittens in a skip yard 😿 . They were hiding under mountains of rubbish . It was so dangerous but we worked around the clock to save them. We set traps and we caught the mum and kittens to give them a better life. 🩷 Every cat deserves a good life. Please support us so we can give more cats the care they need and deserve.
We are a small rescue run entirely by volunteers. We work tirelessly day and night to help the cats most in need.
We are foster-based and focus on stray and feral cats, as well as serious neglect cases or cats with severe health issues. We put our heart and soul into the care and rehabilitation of every cat. As a no-kill rescue, we are dedicated to giving every cat in our care a second chance and a better life. We take the cats no one else wants .
We feed over 200 cats each month, including foster cats, feral cat colonies, strays, and even pets belonging to people who may be struggling to afford food for them. Currently, we also care for 12 feral colonies.
On average, we spend around £10,000 each month at the vets, and we post the vet receipts every month on Facebook to ensure complete transparency with our funds.
Additionally, we spend approximately £5,000 a month on cat food, though this amount can vary depending on food donations.
We would truly appreciate any support to keep saving lives. Every donation goes directly to the cats, no one gets paid.
If anyone can afford to donate £1 to help us continue to save cats lives we would appreciate it so much.

These are the places we rescue cats from this is w
Every month I ask myself, how can I save the rescue? How can I raise TEN THOUSAND POUNDS to cover vet bills, plus ONE THOUSAND to FIVE THOUSAND to cover food, litter, flea treatments, and all the other essentials our rescue cats need? Balancing rescuing the cats, a paid job, and family is exhausting. Constantly worrying if we are going to raise enough to stay open so we can save cats’ lives or if we won’t get enough funds this month and be forced to close . Its overwhelming the worry i feel for trying to keep us open. I feel like I constantly have to think of new ideas, except it's impossible to implement the fundraising ideas because we're so busy rescuing. It’s heartbreaking because , if we don't raise the money, cats will suffer.
The simplest fundraising idea I have is for every follower to set up a standing order of £1 a month. This way, we can focus on rescuing cats, not fundraising, and it’s hopefully an affordable amount for our supporters. The more people who get involved, the more it will add up to make a huge difference.
The truth is, without support, we can't carry on, which is utterly devastating as so many cats desperately need us.
The amount we spend at the vets shows how much cats really need us how vital it is we stay open . Right now, we spend around £10,000 every month on vet bills alone, plus another £1,000 to £5,000 on food, litter, flea treatments, and other vital supplies, depending on what we get physically donated. That means we need to raise £10,000 to £15,000 every single month to keep on saving cats’ lives.
So, we need as many people as possible who can afford it to set up a standing order. We have 34,000 followers if even just half of you contributed, we would have enough each month to continue saving cats’ lives.
Please, if you can afford to, set up a £1 monthly standing order donation today. That small act of kindness will help us continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats who have nowhere else to turn.
How hilarious is poppy 🤣
Poppy is one of our palliative care cats. She is only a few months old however, she has two rare life-limiting heart conditions for which, sadly, there is no treatment or cure (she has been seen by specialist vets). It is likely that she may only have a few months to live, but we hope she surprises us all and lives longer.
Despite her heart condition, Poppy is currently living life to the fullest. She is happy, pain-free, and has a great quality of life. She will remain in our care until its her time and won't let her suffer ❤️

Steven Biscuits watching TV 🤣
Does your cat like to watch TV?
Steven came to us after he suffered for 5 days with two broken legs and a broken jaw in the middle of a winter storm. We got him vet care to repair his legs and jaw. He is now thriving and will be looking for a loving home soon.
🍪 Steven Biscuits update 🍪
Look at his wonderful walk 😍 Steven came to us with two broken legs and a broken jaw. We got him surgery to fix his legs and jaw. He is doing incredibly well he is 8 weeks post op and his walking has improved so much 😁
He has the best personality he is such a loving cat 🥰. Stevie was a determined boy he dragged himself back to his feeders in the middle of a storm after 5 days two broken legs. He deserved a chance and now he is thriving. We are so pleased he is doing amazing. He is in the vets next week to xray his legs to check that they have healed correctly. He is also having the wire removed from his jaw which will be a big relief for him! Everyone at Kitty Rescue has fallen for this big guy, we absolutely tom cats and believe they’re just as worthy to save as mums and kittens. They always turn into absolute love bugs too and Steven has proved us right!
His care hasn't been cheap but giving a second chance at life is so worth it.
If you can help toward his vet bills we would really appreciate it.
If you can spare even £1, it will make a difference. Every little bit adds up.
We know not everyone can donate, but sharing can really help make a difference too.
If you want to donate you can do so via our vets or to our bank

MELU - how absolutely adorable is our foster kitty Melu . We just love her so much she so scrumptious with her big chunky cheeks 😍 . Melu is a shy girl at first but once she trusts you she is so loving 🥰
🍪 Steven Biscuits Update 🍪
Our beautiful boy Steven had two broken legs and a broken jaw, which we got him vet care for. He had to be restricted for six weeks post-op. He has now been allowed to free roam, although we’re still trying to limit any jumping or anything impactful on his legs during his recovery.
Steven, who is definitely not supposed to be jumping, is enjoying his new found freedom a little too much, just typical of cats! At least we know he’s feeling great, and his legs are working very well. He is such a character and knows how to worry us!
Rest In Peace Big Ste ❤️
We’d like to take a moment to thank the incredible family and friends of Stephen Clarke for donations in his honour following his death. Ste, aged 65, passed away at the start of the year, after one last wonderful Christmas spent with the people he loved. A quiet man, who took joy in the little things, and his family who were his whole world.
Ste was an animal lover, who regularly supported Kitty Rescue Bury. He not only took in any strays who found their way to his home, but treated them with nothing but love and kindness and as you can see in this video, he was well loved by them in return. He has passed his kindness and love for animals onto his three lovely children, Stephen, Danny and Becky. As well as a father, Ste was a much loved grandad, uncle, brother and friend. He also leaves behind six fur babies, whom kept him company in his later years as he battled with his health and who are no doubt missing him terribly. So please join us taking a moment to remember this kind, gentle man, whose legacy lives on in the hearts of all of those who knew him. We thank his family and friends for their kindness and generosity in his memory, and our thoughts are with them all as they grieve and learn to navigate life without him. Rest in Peace ❤️
