Handy man required please. Really need help getting the first pen built. Message if you can help.

Welcome to our last newbie for a while!💕

‼️We are now FULL and couldn’t get anyone else in even if we wanted to. (Which we always want to because we want to help as many as we can but unfortunately we just can’t).
As always, you can help cats in need too. Get a crate, take them in, reach out to more than one rescue. We can’t be everywhere💔 the rescues are doing their best.

We really need to get some of our adult cats rehomed to make space for cats in need.
Or we need good foster homes. Fostering is not a quick way to adopt or to have kittens. Sometimes it’s adult cats who need the help.

This little one came in last night after being found on her own. 💔

She’s about 4 weeks old ❤️

Finders searched the area and unfortunately didn’t find any others. The area is well known for many cats and we are trying to support a TNR programme there but funds and volunteers are preventing that at the moment.

Maggie is looking for her forever home 🐾

She is an absolutely gorgeous cuddly girl who wants love all the time.

She is around age 2 and has been spayed and chipped.
She’s up to date with flea and wormer.

Maggie would be fine with children but NO other animals. She doesn’t like other cats or dogs.

She would be suitable for an indoor home but would also be okay to go outside (away from main roads only)

🐾Please read our pinned post about adoptions to complete the form if interested.

Can anyone collect a few items from
Pets at home for us please and deliver to madeley? Poorly child is keeping me in!
Will pay you for items and petrol. Thank you 🙏

Welcome to the Next Steps club Meghan 🖤

This super sweet chilled girl joined us last night as her lovely owner sadly has to spend some time in hospital and made the difficult decision to rehome Meghan to ensure she can get the love and attention she deserves.

Meg will spend some time settling in with us and then we'll start to look for a new home for her. She's around 9 years old and will make a great companion for the right family when she's ready 🐈‍⬛

‼️Lacey needs a foster home

Lacey is a nervous 4-5 month old female who loves you when she gets to know you but is in serious need of more attention.
A home where she can get used to noises, have cuddles and just be given the attention she needs is vital to helping her move forward.

She is such a sweetie and purrs when she sees me but at the moment, she just needs that extra support.

She can’t mix with other cats or any dogs at this time as is still being assessed and hasn’t begun vaccinations.

Need someone with time to spend with her daily.
Working is fine aslong as you can spend time with her around this.

It would be so rewarding as you will see how she develops her trust in you. She is amazing!

We pay for all vet care, food and equipment.
Local to Telford or shrewsbury.

If you’ve completed an application lately, please bare with us as between poorly children and driving to Norfolk, jobs and all the cats we have, time is abit more limited than normal.
We thank you for your patience

Help please 🐾
First of all THANK YOU millions as we collected the majority of the pens today and are so excited.

BUT
It wouldn’t all fit in the van - it would have length wise but it was just full of all the panels from the small pen and doors and runs etc.

It means there’s some left to collect. Would anyone, for petrol cost, be able to drive to collect it from Downham Market (3 hour drive) please so we can get it finished asap

Would need a LWB van I imagine.
We can go back if needed but it’s a big ask of my husband as he’s given up his entire Saturday to do it today and has to start building so we can get them occupied.

If you’re free to help with the build - that’s also appreciated.

FOUND - MADELEY TELFORD

This young cat was found on a garden with his bed just sitting there and no neighbours are aware of him being local.

Unsure if he’s been dumped or missing or stolen as he’s a lovely boy.

He is unchipped and unneutered.

Please message if he is yours and you have any further details - no judgement here or message if you think he may be your cat.
Proof of ownership would be required.

No adoption enquiries at this time please.

‼️URGENT PLEASE HELP & SHARE‼️

NO APPLICATIONS AT ALL 💔💔💔

Need something for him ASAP. Will be vet checked.

🚨🚨Foster homes locally needed asap. ‼️
There is no more space and the only thing stopping us helping more is the lack of space.
All you need is love, a separate space from other animals and we provide the rest. Must be local.

We have about 4-5 cats urgently waiting to come in including one whose owner is very sadly ill and needs care for her cat.

If you can drive, we would rather you can simply because we struggle to arrange vet trips etc with the small team.

Please message if you can help🐾

Picture of Noodle for your viewing pleasure who is NOT available for fostering as she’s being hand reared currently.

Direct home - urgent ‼️

This is Chase. He is 4-5 months and is looking for a home asap.
Lovely, cuddly and friendly boy. Would settle with other cats as he is so young.

Good with children.

We will vet check, first vac, flea and worm and cover neutering of which there will be an adoption fee.

Please message if you can help.

💗Matchmaker Monday 💕

These are all our cats currently for adoption. Some are pending viewings but we would always look for the best and most suitable home.
Every Monday we will do a post like this so that we can continue to look for homes for the ones still waiting.
If you would like further information about any of our cats, please message us or apply using the link at the bottom of the post.

Summer
Age 2, came in very skinny with 3 others after they were given away. Is now a much better size and weight
Is a lovely unique girl with a quirky personality where she follows you, stands up for fuss and is generally a total babe. Would be fine with other chilled cat who would leave her alone.

Luna
Ideally an only cat with no young children. Wants one person to be besties with. Recovered from her big op and is now absolutely fine.
Only a young girl between 1-2.

Ronnie and Reggie
This amazing pair of black beauties are two lovely boys with bundles of personality. Now around 11 weeks, they are ready for a new home. They are good with children and very sweet, playful boys.
They’ve been health checked and had first vaccinations.
We would like them to go together.

Missy
Age 2, lovely relaxed girl. Takes a while to get to know you but just wants to chill and be relaxed.
Other cats would be fine with a slow introduction.

Maple
Age 2, super friendly girl, fine with other cats, relaxed and playful

Stan
Age 5 months, super friendly, happy, loves food, cat toys are his fave, likes head bumps and strokes

Cino
5 months
Super soft fluffy girl. Likes attention and would be best suited in a home with an older calm cat as gets pushed out.

Pepper
5 months, funny, crazy boy who loves excitement and food

Toyah
Age 2, obsessed with her butterfly toy, loves a fuss and cuddles, loves nuzzles and head bumps. Loves a chat.

Bianca’s kittens - Bobby, Beau and Bree
Bianca is a feral mummy so these guys have been handled but are a little quiet at the start. They are now all over foster mummy Helen.

✅All cats are neutered or it’s included in the adoption fee.

We are so so humbled right now!!!

A massive thank you to everyone but thank you to Haygate Veterinary Centre who have some of the most amazing vets in Telford but also squeeze us in and look after our cats in 24 hour care when we need it. They donated to pay for the small pen so thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

A lady called Emma who donated a huge amount.

Everyone who donated what they can and shared.

We are so so so lucky we get to help cats who need us because you support us.

THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

CAN YOU HELP US SECURE NEW PENS please?

We have got an amazing price for these. There’s a triple pen for £450 and a single pen with run for £150. The lady gave us a discount because we are a cat rescue.

We need to raise £600 at least as we also have to pay the petrol cost for the van.

We took in 3 extra cats over the weekend. Unneutered females. One eating out of bins. One 5 month old living in a garden. One that took shelter at someone’s house and wouldn’t leave.

The situation is getting insane and we struggle to find reliable, good fosterers but Joe, our amazing adoptions co ordinator and miracle worker Helen have agreed to have some pens in their gardens to support us to grow and help more cats.

The issue is we are just getting by with vet bills and have the £400 for the electricity to be put in to for our other pens so we can’t get these without your support.

We promise that as soon as they are up, we will take pictures of the newbies in them so you can see just how vital they are.

If anyone is willing to make a monthly donation sponsorship towards the pens for food and care of the cat in that pen, your name will go on the side of the pen. This is something we are still discussing but are super excited about.

If you can’t donate, please like the post so others see it and maybe they can help.

If we can’t get the money by Wednesday, I worry we can’t get them 💔
