Last Resort Rescue

Last Resort Rescue We are a small rescue for mainly cats, kittens near Spilsby in. Lincolnshire uk. Our Paypal address is Rescuelast [email protected] .Thank you. Home checks apply .

We are looking for permanent loving homes that meet our criteria so ask many questions before we invite you to come for a chat and meet the animals...
Just because you comment first or like that one “because it’s cute “ doesn’t always mean that you have the perfect home for that animal. We are looking for the most suitable homes for each individual cat or kitten. Sometimes the particular cat th

at you are looking to adopt is not suitable for your lifestyle or home, Our decisions are based on the cats character, individual needs, age and any previous history and in the best interest of both the cat and your family. All cats and kittens shall receive humane care, adequate water, food, shelter, sanitation, exercise, personal attention and veterinary care when required. No adoption shall be made to anyone who breeds any animals. We do not home to anyone having unspayed / uneutered pets, We have strong spay/neuter ethics . Anyone having a kitten too young to be neutered must sign an agreement to get the animal neutered at the appropriate time and fill in a confirmation form telling us where and when the operation took place...
Proof of landlord/agency approval is required if in rented accommodation...

Most of our cats will NOT be vaccinated as this costs the rescue around £75 a cat and if they only get one vaccs before they leave us they may need to to start the course again so we leave this responsibility to the new owner . If you do wish us to get this done for you first then an extra £75 will need to be added to the adoption payment and a further wait of around 2 weeks to complete the course. After years of experience and research we are an anti-vax rescue by choice once they reach adulthood .You of course can make your own mind up and have your cat or kitten vaccinated at your expense .. There is lots of information available on the internet. Here are some good links for those thinking of going down this route . You should of course always be aware of your pets health and visit your vet if there is problem. https://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2017/06/25/pets-over-vaccination.aspx

We don't routinely test for FIV/FELV unless we think its necessary . Here is some useful info about this . https://www.uwsheltermedicine.com/library/resources/why-are-some-shelters-no-longer-testing-all-cats-for-felv-and-fiv. We do of course rely heavily on the adoption fees to help all the animals in our care . Our cats are all regularly flea treated ,wormed and any old enough will be spayed or neutered before they leave which does of course all add up, together with food and litter . A cat spay costs us £100 and a neuter is £75 so please take this into consideration when making your adoption donation . The donation fee asked will vary according to the treatment the cat/kitten has had . Microchipping whilst not law is very helpful in reuniting animals with their owners and is now done by us for each cat and kitten before rehoming.

I was starting the week with some information about where we are at as a rescue .Except I have just remembered that its its Tuesday and not Monday but all our days here roll into one .
We currently have 33 kittens in rescue of various ages plus cats . Not all of these are ready due to being to young etc and they are spaced out amongst 5 different addresses and although we have most here they are kept in separate places to help reduce infections so it is not possible for people just to come and meet them .They are not all sitting waiting patiently in clean pens eager to meet people .Many are shy or may have health issues we are working on etc and the cleaning ,taming ,socalisation , vet trips , meds , flea and wormer are all attended to by us in between trying to do our own things/lives .
Some of these are now older kittens and have been waiting all summer for suitable home offers ,some have had home offers but then the people have I presume gone elsewhere but not had the decency to drop us a message and let us know so we are left waiting . All rescues are still very full but hopefully once people have had their holidays people will think about adopting as we still can't take anymore until more have homes .
Please only apply if you are 100% committed and ready to take on kittens in the immediate future . so much of our precious time has been wasted this year on people that have changed their minds.
This has been a very hard summer with no time to ourselves to get jobs done that need doing or even have a few hours out of the house with lots of young ones and poorly ones needing us to be around all the time and we can't keep it up much longer . I rarely sit down before 10pm and then its only for an hour before bed .
We have no funds what so ever and much is coming out of our pockets .
So please keep sharing our posts and encouraging people to get in touch if they are ready to adopt .
KITTENS ARE ONLY ADOPTED OUT IN PAIRS UNLESS THERE IS ALREADY A KITTEN OF A SIMILAR AGE IN THE HOME .
NO BUSY ROADS
ADOPTION FEES AND HOME CHECKS APPLY
WE ALSO DO NOT HOME ON COLOUR ONLY .
Home suitability is priority , we are a rescue and want people to want to adopt rescue cats and kittens for that reason , not to get cheap kittens the right colour, s*x and size to suit .
Please don't apply on a whim because a kitten looks cute , think about whether you really want kittens and are ready for the lifelong commitment before getting in touch .

SUNDAY UPDATE .
A quick one as I need to go and kitten play and feed .
Dinna and Minnie went to a new home together where they are settling in and hopefully will live with the resident dog as they hadn't met dogs here .
Lizzie who was in foster with Pamela also went to her new home this week and will hopefully help to heal her new parents after the loss of their other cat Percy who has a left a big hole in their hearts .
And today Dorito and Cheeselet were chosen and have gone to live in Skegness .
So that was all good news . Now bad news...sadly some people that have gone through the adoption process even done home check videos have then not adopted or bothered to make contact to let me know what is happening . This I find quite disrespectful as it doesn't take a minute to let us know that circumstances may have changed or they have just changed their minds. Even when I message to ask what is happening I haven't had replies .Running a rescue is hard and we need to know who we have available , who might have homes etc .
We microchipped 13 cats and kittens ready for rehoming and have more to do another day .Thanks Linda .
Ian managed to catch another colony cat Mary who was TNR'd .
Only one donation this week from Janet who drops us a bit of food in most weeks which helps keep some hungry mouths fed .Thank you .
Tomorrow Belinda and I will be at Jollyes in Skegness for the afternoon with lots of lovely pots , keyrings , cat toys etc . We would love to see you .

Our internet is off and on again at the moment , I'm not ignoring people Lol

25/08/2024

Here are some of our cats ready for new homes , we have others but they aren't necessary available yet .If you are thinking of adopting please read the pinned post about the adoption process before getting in touch.
They have a short introduction and anyone interested should message the page and answer the automated questions in order to discuss further.

Please also note that many of the cats are shy around strangers even though they are fine with us and you need to take this in to consideration when doing a meet and greet .
Often we have no knowledge of the animals background or even ages if they have been found as strays or outside which is why we assess them and often have to work hard to gain their trust. This can take a lot of time and needs to be continued by their new families .
Any potential adopters will need to give them time and be patient while they adjust again to their new homes . For some cats this happens quickly , others it might take longer but you have to be prepared to let them settle at their own pace . Even for young kittens the change can be daunting.
Young kittens are NOT homed as single kittens and we do not home on busy roads .

Beka .is young girl around 1/2 years old .
She came in with her sister Mitsy and several kittens . First of all we thought they needed to be kept together but actually they don't get on that well so can be homed separately.
They have now been spayed ,microchipped ,wormed and flea treated.
Beka is friendly, loves a fuss with humans but not that keen on other cats so her forever home could be as an only cat where she can be loved as a companion cat .
No dogs but and child friendly .
No main roads ,home checks and adoption forms and fees will apply .

Hardy.
He is a big cat friendly up to a point.... but then he lets you know he's had enough and will give a swipe or hiss.
He needs a more outdoorsy home with a cat lover that is willing to give him the limited attention he craves but is happy for him to go at his own pace until he learns to trust Hardy goes for a roam most days and happily comes home to his pen , he really is an easy boy who loves to do his own thing.
He has had slow introductions to the other cats although he chooses to spend most of his time in his own space he could live with another cat or two if they have space to get to know each other properly or of course as a single cat .
He would be a good mouser but need to have a warm bed to come home too .
If anyone would like to give this boy a chance please message the page .
Flea ,wormed and neutered .
Home checks and adoptions fees apply . Must be away from busy roads and not dogs or child tested . See less

SUNDAY UPDATE.
Its been another hard week as yet again I am hand rearing and trying to wean the kittens from the colony . This takes so much time in my already busy days and nights .Sleep is hard to come by for me at the best of times , I lay awake for hours counting cats instead of sheep lol and even after their middle of the night feed can't get back to sleep so not functioning well .
We also had our old cat Minnie PTS at the grand old age of 19 years. She was one of the first cats we took in when we started up and many of you that have called round would probably have met her as she loved everyone she met and would cuddle and dribble all over them if they let her. She had a funny face where she had been attacked by a dog in previous years .
We also lost one of our little kittens who hadn't been thriving and was less than a 1/3rd of the weight of his siblings .
We seem to have been at the vets most days this week as we have got poorly ones too .
Chica went to her new home last weekend and is settling in well as a companion to Steve her new dad .
Rapunzel and Kyle also went to their new home together .
Holly mum to Kerrie and Rickie was spayed , she is a lovely cat and was sat on my lap earlier in the cattery enjoying a fuss .Typically I didn't have my camera .She will make a nice loving cat for someone soon once her kittens are old enough .Such as shame her previous owners felt the need need to dump them rather than get help .
Jezza was also neutered and is now ready for a new home .
Ian caught another big Mamma cat from the colony and she was spayed and returned .Its a great help when people are willing to take feral cats back to where they originated from as its less stressful for them and we haven't got to try and get homes for them .
Food/bedding donations this week from Fenwold, Skegness , Fenwold Spilsby, Janet and Liz . Thank you to you if you have popped stuff in the food banks at the vets or left stuff there for us .
A massive thank you to Paula for donating a shed to us which my son and husband went and dismantled today . It will be a great help to store the cat litter in once we get a base done and get it back up .

12/08/2024

Ok the week hasn't started well as some of the kittens are bit poorly and then we had 4 from the colony come in .Mum had put them all in different and dangerous locations but luckily Ian knew about them and rounded them up .We were hoping to leave them with mum a bit longer as mum's milk is the best and also so we could try and trap mum .
Anyway these all have bad eyes , many many fleas and are hungry so my time is being spent giving them TLC as well as our other poorly ones and all the healthy ones and trying to get the washing dry of which I do 3 pet bedding loads a day between the cats and my incontinent dalmatian .
So for now I am just doing a thank you post as we have had several lovely food donations this week as Sarah has managed to update our Amazon list and I am getting confused (easily done I know lol especially as I slept even worse than normal as there was a spider on my leg in bed while I was reading last night and I hate spiders and we lost it somewhere !!! )
So thanks to Phyllis and her sister for the lovely blankets (all our cats get to take one with them to their new homes) some flea treatment and food , Phyllis also brought some bedding from the lady at the glider club ,Jenny Staples for Applaws kitten food , Ruth Kavanagh for whiskas kitten pouches , Steve Hyde for Sheba kitten food , Catherine Luckman for Royal Canin kitten biscuit ,Valerie Hullah for adult whiskas and felix kitten pouches ,Janet who regularly drops stuff in and we also got 2 big boxes of whiskas but don't know who from .If it was you thank you and if I have forgotten anyone's donations then feel free to comment and I'm sorry :)
Carol P sent some money and we had a donation paid to our vet account from Wendy .
Thanks everyone :)

11/08/2024

I will do the weekly update tomorrow as Sarah is out and has some photos I need and I'm knackered lol . Been painting and gardening and this old body is well feeling old .Just finished doing the animals as its taking longer than normal as some have eye drops some still antibiotics and as we worm kittens every 2 weeks as we finish one lot the next lot need doing as its done over 3 days .
I'll leave you with this little video of Ozzy (looking for a home with Heathcliff ). he was trying out a cat scratch sofa (whoever thinks of these things lol )that we had donated this week .
I will reply to any messages tomorrow as need some painkillers and my cup of tea .

Are gingers out of fashion ?
Can't believe that our ginger boys have had no interest and we have other younger ones that will be ready soon .
Ok , silly me I should have added this :) Just to add these are to be homed as bonded pairs with other kittens we have blacks/tabbies etc .
If anyone is GENUINELY interested in a PAIR of kittens please see the rehoming album for more info about the kittens and who they are bonded with and their needs .
Also read the adoption process in the pinned post AND THEN message the page and answer the automated questions to begin the process and so we can match cats to homes.
Thanks .
