We had a visit from ‘the romans in Purton’ project recently who dug a test pit in our garden, sadly nothing of interest was found but the ladies had a great morning helping dig the pit 😂 🐓

Lots of kitties recently 😻

Peaches would like to wish everyone
Happy international cat day!
She is busy helping with the paperwork 😂

International Cat Day is a celebration which takes place on 8 August of every year. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. It is a day to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help and protect them 🥰😻🥰

Can anyone anyone share tips on how to raise awareness for Cats or has anybody helped or protected Cats themselves?

Personally, we think everybody neutering/spaying their cats and making sure their microchip details are up-to-date will help cats here in the UK and beyond 😻

How is everyone’s week going? This morning I was peed on by a toad…Is that good or bad luck? 😂 🐸

❤️❤️❤️Rescue post ❤️❤️❤️
We’ve been extremely busy behind-the-scenes not only with customers kitties but also helping out lots of rescue cats.
From neglected ‘street’ kitties-
to helping bigger organisations hold cats until rescue centres have room for them (we get paid to help these kitties)

It has been a very challenging couple of weeks and lots of vet visits for health checks, neutering etc.
I’ve added a few before and after photos of some recent guests.
Lots of these kitties have come on incredibly well with a lot of socialisation time patience love and a lot of lick e lix 😅🥰
A big thank you to everybody who has helped us with vet bills, socialisation and support, and a big thank you to Bath Cats and Dogs Home for taking Ivy and Clover who are reported to be setting in 🥰

😻😻😻

A big thank you to the lovely Jo at Grooming Purrcedures
I think I was a bit busy taking care of our extended furry family 😅 and sadly Merlin had a few knots and had a lot of undercoat that needed to come out and Jo came and gave him a good groom this week!
Lucky puss was up next and wasn’t as happy as Merlin but Jo got him looking beautiful too!

It really is important to keep on top of your cat’s coats before these knots become too big and need shaving out!

Jo is mobile and will come to your home if she is in the area 😻 (with a bribery bag of catnip too!)

Schools out for summer! We’ve been so lucky recently to have so many students from schools and colleges come and spend time with us and the kitties.
Thank you to each and everyone of you and good luck next year!

26/07/2024

Happy Friday from our little hissy spittys Clover and Ivy.
We are spending lots of time (with a lot of treats) socialising with these minis as they were born outdoors and did not like humans. It’s been a few weeks now and they are starting to turn around nicely 💪
Clover has even started purring when she is stroked!
Thank you to all of our friends and volunteers who are giving up their time to help us help them 🥰😻

25/07/2024

Who remembers Sir Purr (now named Perran)
who we had in with us early this year.
Found living in bad conditions and covered in fleas.
Look at him now 🥰🥰🥰
We love a happpy ending 😻

23/07/2024

OMG look at Denzel. To think only a few months ago he was living on the streets fighting for his next meal-he is really settling in and loving human attention.🥰

22/07/2024

Book early to avoid disappointment!
So we are turning down about 4 to 5 people a day who are still phoning/emailing looking for July August and September bookings….we are fill up months in advance for a lot of the year.

You never know you might strike lucky if you are only looking for a few days here and there or we get a cancellation and your dates line up before others-but we’ve got lots of kitties on our waiting list too!

We are also down to our last couple of spaces for Christmas so please get your bookings in before we are full.

On the other hand, we have lots and lots of space for October and November! 😅😻

20/07/2024

Busy week, lots of vet trips for rescue kitties

If anyone currently has a cat boarding with us or wants to book a space with Jo while she’s here with us, please get in touch!
As you can see from her page she works magic ! 🥰😻🥰

OMG-so £1000 and hours later 😡 we have just had the best news ever (well sort of)-Lilly has not got heart failure and after a scan she is just very pregnant!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thank f**k!!

That is also really sad that this poor girl has to go through another pregnancy immediately after having kittens, before we can get her spayed but what a positive future she has ahead of her! 😅 tears of joy!!

Thank you to everyone who donated and even though we still have a very large bill-if you would like your money back, I am more than happy to give it you back as we thought something else was going on which was a lot more serious with this girl and hence we rushed her to an emergency vets as we were told we couldn’t take her home until the echo was done!

Daddy spitfire is now going in the vets tomorrow to get neutered and we will go and create a nest for Lilly to have kittens- then we will get a spayed and she will be up for rehoming. What a beautiful kitty she is!

——————————————————————-
This beautiful girl who has been named Lilly was dumped and has given birth to 2 beautiful kittens six weeks ago.

We were made aware of her last week and picked her up immediately so she didn’t get pregnant again and we have now secured the two kittens and daddy cat as well! 😅🥳💪
We had her booked in at the vets tomorrow to be spayed, but we were concerned about the size of her belly and thought she may already be pregnant again so an emergency vet trip today was made and we have found out that unfortunately she is in heart failure 😞
She is the most sweetest and loving Cat even in a short amount of time that we’ve had her and we want to do the best by her so we are getting an echocardiogram done to determine how far along the disease is.
She has already responded really well from having diuretics at the vets this afternoon which is a great sign but we really need help so if anybody can spare a pound or two the bill is looking to be between £2000 and £3000 already 🫣😢 but we cannot let be failed by failed by humans again 🙏

Chicken poo bingo

Chicken poo bingo second place goes to Nicola Riley Thank you so much everybody who helped us raise money for Stray Cat Rescue Team West Midlands.

Deer 🦌

So word has gotten out that all animals are welcome here. We now get deer 🥰🦌😅

Dougal

Well, we are absolutely blown away and astonished in a good way… Dougal who hisses at us most mornings when we go in his pen and doesn’t let us stroke him as he is a little timid-decided yesterday to meow at me for his breakfast. Today he has decided he would like to be my friend. This is a brilliant breakthrough and shows he is comfortable with us 🥹❤️ It just shows that these street cats just need a little bit of time and patience. Dougal really needs to go into a home with people that will understand him and let him come out in his own time. He is FIV negative. (just to clarify, he will be able to go outside once in a home. It will just take a couple of months to ground him to his new home before he’s able to adventure out.) Thanks on and off-line donations he’s all up together and ready to go to a new home 🏡 😻 Who can offer this guy a couch to sleep on? 🙏

Let’s get Denzel a furever home!🏡 ❤️ He is loving a home environment and is thriving! He has the biggest purr, loves fusses and is getting used to playing with a toy 🥰 He is a youngish ex street cat, neutered, chipped, flead, wormed, has had a dental. (Will need a restart vaccination course. He is FiV positive so will need to be around calm cats or be an only cat. He will need monitored access to the outdoors (secure garden/catio) Home checks will be required so we find him a home that suits his needs. Please please share 🙏 I would love to keep this boy, but as we already have Lucky-quite a dominant ex street cat, who is FiV positive, we can’t sadly..

Ex street cat Denzel purred for the first time today 🥰🥹 He had his dental yesterday and had two teeth taken out that were rotten and obviously he’s feeling a lot better today. A big thank you to Lucy and Jenny at Drove Vets 🥰 He’s now in our spare room so we can get him used to living in a home environment as we think he’s been on the streets for a long time. He’s estimated to be around 5-8 years old, (impossible to tell with any adult cat)-he’s looking for a quiet home (he is FiV+) so please please share so we can find him a loving home, and thank you so much everybody who has raised us money to help Denzel and Dougal with their vet treatment the last few weeks. We have over £400 in the pot still 🙏💪 so we can continue to help local cats who need our help ❤️😘 #adoptdontshop

Denzel

Sweet Denzel is looking for his Purfect home. Please share so we can find him a home that suits his needs 😻 Indoor only with no other cats 🐈‍⬛

Happy Saturday! Here is Lottie, who stayed with us recently. Does anyone else have a cat that is this talkative?! Lottie is the churpiest kitty we’ve had in! 😻😻😻

Happy Sunday from Sir Hamlet and his ladies 🐔

***Volunteer shout out*** We have a lot of rescue kitties with us at the moment that all need vet trips, So on the 28th- eight of them are off to the vets for Pom Pom removal and an MOT! Scott is working, so I’m just looking for someone who is confident with scared kitties that would like to come over at 7:30 and help me load them all up and deliver them to the vets 🙏😻 Payment may be a scratch or a purr for your troubles 😹 I know so many of you always offer to help out and I forget who 🫣🥰

‘Dreamie bobbing’

One determined Felix! #weneedmorenetting 😹

Sir Hamlet’s round up 😹😹😹🐔🐔🐔

Starlings 🤫😹💕

Sir Hamlet decided the starlings were stealing all of his limelight 😹😹😹

I think we’ve cracked him 😻💪🤞 So Garfield is relaxing more and more every day and is showing signs he enjoys a humans touch (and lick e licks more importantly) 😹 It would be great if he didn’t have to go back ‘to the streets’ so if he did decide he wants to be a pet-if anyone has a quiet home and is looking for a challenge/rewarding friendship and would consider taking Garfield on to work with him on his terms then please message the page. We want what’s best for this special boy and hopefully the right home is out there for him!

Garfield update.. so the glove is off 💪 It’s so hard to know whether a cat wants to be a ‘pet’ or doesn’t want to be around humans sometimes. Garfield is currently on the fence.. From our time fostering cats we saw a whole range of cats from one end of the scale to the other.. Garfield is relaxing more each day and the last few days he now takes treats from the hand and allows touches so really positive. We still have two weeks until he goes in for his second vaccination so plenty of time to work with him. If he ends up as a pet, he will need a special home with somebody willing to give up a lot of time and effort and understand his needs. If he is to be re-released here we will make sure he has access to somewhere warm and food every day. Or we may find a farm of his own that he can make his own. For those who know the story of Pip our- ‘feral’ cat… we couldn’t touch him when he was trapped-then we had him neutered-re released him, and within two weeks, he randomly let himself in our lounge and the rest is history! 😹 Each cat is different and time will tell. If anyone has any advice/experience with feral cats feel free to drop us a message with any tips we might be missing 😻
