As England kick off here's a video of Zeus getting into the football spirit! โฝ๏ธ๐ฅ
We may be bias but we think his ball control, dribbling ๐คค, speed and cuteness is better than most footballers around at the moment ๐คฃ๐
๐ซถ
It won't suprise you that he's not a fan of passing the ball onto other players ๐คทโโ๏ธ and really enjoys being the star of the show ๐คฃ๐๐๐
We are so proud of our resident sass pants James! ๐๐ค๐๐
So James has taken a HUGE step and moved onto our main cattery unit! ๐ฅน and we are so pleased to say he's adapting to the move so well! ๐
He used to have a special room on our back units as we were worried he wouldn't be able to cope with the busier unit and strangers having access to see him (when our cattery is open public can walk down the main unit) but it seems he's actually enjoying having more to see!
He's still cautious of course but that's just James in general! We are sure he will be back to bap bapping our feet in no time! ๐ฅน๐๐
Such a clever boy! He is still on the look out for his very special home ๐๐๐

Miss Willow ๐๐๐
We are very pleased to say we are now back on track with Miss Willow again ๐ค๐๐
After we did her ยฃ248 surgery to remove a cancerous ear tip she was also on medications for an awful inner ear infection ๐ We and the vets thought that we were getting somewhere with this but then, what felt like out of nowhere, our girlie got very poorly with her ear again- this time it was her ear flap skin and upper ear ๐ so, we started a new treatment of steroids too and we think we are out of the other side again! ๐๐ค๐๐
Our little lady has been through the wars while here with us but hopefully she won't have to wait too much longer to find her forever family! ๐ค๐๐
Those little peeps ๐ฅบ๐ฅฐ๐๐
You really wouldn't expect to see our gorgeous Remy pop his head out after hearing those! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Rem came to us after being found straying and actually got himself trapped somewhere silly ๐คฆโโ๏ธ poor little love๐๐
He is now feeling much better and growing relationships with his carers - he can be shy but treats are the way to his heart ๐คฃ๐ฝ so we thought he was ready to start the hunt for his forever home and make his Facebook debut ๐๐๐
Say hello to our gorgeous girl Willow! ๐ค๐๐
She has been with us a little while now and we have been battling to get her well and comfortable! ๐ฅบ
During her first few days here all seemed well but then it soon came to light our girlie wasn't well at all ๐ She had an awful inner ear infection filling her ear canal with puss and some suspicious looking scabs on one of her ear tips ๐
As you can see our lady has been having some intense ear treatments consisting of drops and regular cleaning to get that infection under control and we think we have finally cracked it ๐ซถ sadly, her left ear as we suspected had cancerous ear tips ๐ฅบ so we had to have that removed for her ๐ costing us ยฃ248 and then her ongoing ear treatments ... but she's so worth it! Just look at her little face! And now she's feeling better she just loves being with people and having a cuddle! ๐ค๐๐
Just another example of exactly what your support and donations go to - our behind the scenes work ๐ซถ
Hopefully Miss Willow will be ready for her new home soon! ๐ค๐ก
Come and take a walk down our main cattery with us! ๐๐๐
These are the faces that are currently staying on our main cattery unit that is accessible to public during our opening hours ๐ we have many more felines on our back units too but they are staff only as the kitties staying on those are either under vet management (so aren't feeling well enough to be on a busy main unit) or a busy main unit would be a little too much for them at this stage in their rescue journey ๐๐๐
So many of these beautiful faces are up for adoption with either ourselves or the Cats Protection Sheffield & District Branch ๐๐๐
So if you see a little one you want to enquire about head over to the RSPCA find a pet page (link below) to see if they are staying with us or CP ๐๐๐
If you aren't looking for a new furry friend then just enjoy this compilation of pure CUTENESS! ๐ฑ๐๐

A big thank you from... Croissant and her breakfast babies Beans, Eggy, Toast, Bacon, Porridge and Granola ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฅฃ๐๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฅน๐๐
After a long day this lovely little bunch are settling down for a few more days before heading off into a foster home! (Special thank you to our new foster family that are coming on board to the RSPCA Sheffield foster network and taking in this little family!) ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Thankfully after a check over at our vets the only ailments these have are a heavy flea and worm burden which is such a releif ๐๐
We never expected so much kindness on our post this morning so a big thank you for all the kind words and donations ๐ฅฐ We honestly can't tell you all how demanding rescue is at the moment and we know that all of the amazing rescues out there are just like us and doing everything in their power to ride the tsunami of help demands daily so all we ask is that all that kindness given to us today is given to every animal rescue right now ๐ฅบ it's so difficult but we are all keeping going ๐ฅฐ๐๐
We shall keep you all posted on this adorable little bunch ๐๐
The absoulte importance of partnership! ๐๐
On this a little dreary Wednesday morning we wanted to share a situation with you all that has now concluded with THE BEST outcome thanks to rescues and charities working together! ๐ช
This mum cat Peach (lovingly named by our vets) and her babies were homeless and living in a garden - a caring member of public spotted them and brought them along to us - the first step of the animal rescue journey that took place yesterday! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Straight away we could see that mummy was doing her best but her babies had gunky sealed shut eyes, were smaller than you would expect and were in need of an urgent vet check due to one little one not being very active at all - The first point of partnership comes in now ... Our team immediately contacted our amazing vets the PDSA pet hospital explained the situation and they squeezed her in for a check that afternoon ๐ช๐ฅฐ
The next hurdle was figuring out how to keep this momma and her vulnerable babies safe ๐ฅบ we don't have a maternity unit free at the moment and all of our foster carers have babies - so we started making enquiries and this is the next benefit of our current partnerships! Our friends who we are partnered up with at Cats Protection Sheffield & District Branch heard our calls for help and although they themselves were in the same position as us they put the feelers out further for us...
And after lots of messaging from volunteers, staff out of hours and drivers stepping up to help - Peach and her family at 10 am today are off to a foster home in Trafford to be cared for by the Cats protection Trafford branch ๐ฅน๐ช๐๐
This is such an amazing example of ourselves, The PDSA Sheffield, The Sheffield and Trafford Cats protection and dedicated volunteers and staff all working TOGETHER for the same aim - to ensure this little family's safety and welfare ๐ฅน๐๐
Team work makes the dream work! ๐ช๐๐
Happy Wednesday guys! ๐๐๐
We promised you we would update you on how Sprout got on! And here we are ๐๐๐
Sprout continued to get better and so no longer needed to stay in his recovery foster home ๐ he needed more space and freedom ... and as always aunty Kerry said "I've got room!" - we would all be so lost without our amazing foster humans like Kerry! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
The bonus is Kerry has baby Fudge (update on him coming up tomorrow!) So it means little Sprout also gets to have a new friend after his brother Radish passed away ๐ which is amazing for them both! ๐๐
Very lucky boys living their little best lives in foster! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Our Brin is here... he wants to do three things ๐คฃ๐ฅฐ๐๐
- Make you giggle! ๐คฃ
- Remind you that tennis balls ARE LIFE even with your enrichment box stuck on your head ๐คฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
- And to remind you that he is still looking for his forever home ๐ค๐ก๐๐
He's a lovely older boy with alot of character and that collie companionship! ๐ค๐ก๐๐

The harsh reality faced by rescues at the moment! ๐ฅบ๐๐
On Wednesday afternoon a member of public came to us with a box of kittens who were born outside and mum had apparently not been back for weeks ๐ฅบ
While figuring out some accommodation for these little ones our eagle eyed staff noticed these babies were infact very poorly little mites ๐ฅบ๐
In the last 3 days they have had an emergency vet visit everyday ๐ they are emaciated, have very upset tummies, infected claws, watery eyes, temperatures, dehydration bloods taken and they kept going flat on us ๐ฅบ Thankfully they are split off into pairs and all in emergency recovery foster now but our vegetable kittens are paying the ultimate price for being born unwanted ๐ while we have also had to spend hundreds on their care and getting them the dietary requirements they need (on world veterinary day we want to give a huge thankyou to our friends at the PDSA pet hospital who have been there for our little ones everytime they have needed them! ๐)
All of our babies have a hell of a fight to just survive ๐ฅบ aged around 5 weeks and weighing between 500 and 700 grams ๐ญ it's pitiful and unnecessary that they have had to go through what they have! ๐ and just like other rescues we are now picking up the pieces and have already had gut wrenching and teary moments with these babies- they have only been in our care for 72 hours, how is this a fair life for them? How do people see this as acceptable ๐ฅบ when neutering is available to every single cat owner ๐๐
Cabbage, Courgette, Sprout, Radish, Turnip and Broccoli - you're all safe with us and we will keep doing everything we can for you ๐ฅบ๐๐
If anyone would like to donate towards their care they are currently having to have gastro intestinal kitten food which can be found on our amazon wishlist or you can send over a financial donation via our website ๐ฅฐ
In all of the negativity in this post there's one thing that makes us sm
Fudge update! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Many of you saw our post of our little emergency intake Fudge ๐ค
So, we are now in a position to give you all an update!
When Fudge saw our vet on Monday night they confirmed there are no breaks in any of his main leg bones so his femur, tibia and fibula are all intact! Phew! ๐ he does however have swelling and stiffness in his hock ๐ฅบ this could be a muscle injury over a bone injury or the result of an old infected injury like a bite - poor baby!
So, he's on strict rest, antibiotics and pain relief as and when needed as he's such a tiny tot ... he's only 525 grams at around 5 weeks ๐ฅบ one of Rigatonis babies is the same age and DOUBLE that ๐ he also had plenty of unwanted guests deep in his furr that will have been draining him ๐
As you can see though! He's taking it all in his stride and having a lovely time out in foster! ๐ค he is apparently such a loud purrer and really loves a snuggle!!! He has already started toe touching and trying to use his little leg so we are hopefully headed in the right direction! Our main thing is getting him all the goodness he needs to keep his little body fighting and maintaining while we keep him getting better ๐๐๐
Baby Goose! ๐ฅบ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Our floppy eared, kangaroo bouncing, poo bag stealing baby is on the look out for his forever home! ๐ฅฐ
He came to us after another organisation stepped in to save him but then needed our help to take over the rehoming side! ... A homeless little boy with no where else to go.. we just had to squeeze him in! ๐๐๐
Goose is so clever and so sweet but he is also, an undersocialised puppy! With the right routine, structure and support he will be amazing but this little laddo has had alot of change and abit of a chaotic time in his short life and that really shows with how he behaves sometimes ๐ฅบ๐๐
Puppy's should be safe, loved and be having consistent training from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed ... but he hasn't had that ๐ So we are looking for a special family that don't mind putting in a little work and getting a HUGE reward - as he we think he will be absolutely amazing, with time ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Could that be with you? ๐ก๐ฅฐ๐๐

Come and enjoy some Kong yoga with our new girl Tess ๐คฃ๐งโโ๏ธ
She is a wonderful girl who loves her stretches ๐คฃ๐๐
Purr-tastic! ๐ฅน๐๐
Our amazing mummy cat Rigatoni is taking the best care of her pasta babies - Ramen, Noodle and Macaroni ๐๐
No one came forward to claim our girl ao all of this little family will now be on the look out for their forever home via us in the future ๐๐๐
That won't be for a while yet though as these little babies need quite abit more time with momma ๐๐๐
But just listen to those purrs, she's such a happy lady along with being a very proud mum ๐ฅฐ๐๐
