THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ❤️

This is Tom (an ex street boy who lived hopping from different food sources for years and is FIV positive).
We took him in after he had a limp and needed help.

He was taken in by Terri, one of the most wonderful volunteers we could wish for, and we think he is staying there forever. After months of introductions, this is Tom with his brother, a non FIV cat.
Tom shows no aggression and is simply a big softie. He stays indoors and has settled so well.

Thank you Terri and we couldn’t be happier for Tom.
Love this a million times over.

🐾‼️‼️🐾50p Friday🐾‼️‼️🐾

Good morning everyone❤️

What a crazy week it’s been. I mean cat rescue is never simple but this week we have found ourselves out at night getting kittens sold at 5 weeks, two kittens found in a box on the road, poorly street cats needing help every day and pregnant mums in desperate need.

We will always do everything we can and yet, messages daily of people wanting to give up their cats, wanting help for strays in their area or people who need help with colonies. It breaks our to hearts to say no but we can’t do everything. It takes a lot of self talk to remind ourselves that other people need to take responsibility for their actions and that we are not at fault if we can’t help. We are just volunteers who do this around our daily lives (or maybe our daily lives happen around the rescue).

We have so many mouths to feed now and have been working so hard on adoptions but need to keep our kittens and mummas fed.

⬇️We desperately low on litter and we use woodchip mostly.
Also low on whiskers kitten again.
We have big drop off space at the back of jollyes Telford if you can help with this please. Our Amazon wish list for the food is below 👇

⬇️Our PayPal for 50p Friday to help with food and things need for our kittens is below 👇

https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/97lfrsNwvS

By donating on a Friday, it can keep us afloat with the basics we need to help with ongoing costs.

It takes a second and we really appreciate every 50p you can donate.

If you can help, please do. Small amounts add up and we really need the ongoing support.

Say hello to Cupcake and her kittens.

She has come from a traumatic situation and is very skinny.

Along with her, another pregnant mum and 5 kittens who are 6 weeks old who have been abandoned we are absolutely full.

We plan to take the ginger boy in also over the coming days as he is desperate.

22/08/2024

💔💔💔 We are growing up in rescue and we are the sweetest kittens.

We are all ready to leave and want homes with a friend or with another friendly cat.

Love from Victoria, Charlotte, Joe, Vinnie, Chance and the chocolate kittens.

All good with other cats. Most of us would adapt to a friendly dog.

‼️ Can you foster?
Cat in urgent need

This is Pan who came into our care around 2 years ago. He was fostered by a lovely lady who adopted him.

💔Sadly his owner has passed away and the house is being sold.
Before she passed away, she asked me to help her with Pan and I agreed but she died before she had chance to pass the message on to her family.

A message landed in our inbox asking us to help a cat and we knew who it was straight away. Of course we can help him but with no pens free, he really needs a spare room. He is fine with friendly dogs and friendly cats.

He now needs to come back to us but we don’t have much space and it’s an upheaval enough as he’s been living without someone in his home for a few months now.

Please message if you can help 🐾

Heavily pregnant cat handed in, in poor condition from Sutton hill. If you are missing a cat, please message us

Lucy update ❤️

Lucy had her scan and the vets didn’t find anything sinister thankfully.

They are concerned for her general health and have asked us to keep hold of her which we are happy to.

She’s now flea and wormed. She may need bloods if her health doesnt improve.

Today’s bill will be around £200-£250 but will await invoice as she isn’t having further tests at this time.

Thanks everyone for your help and donations towards her care.

We have two sick boys who need help asap and really need to find a way to help them as well 💔

21/08/2024

CAN YOU HELP LUCY?
It gets worse 💔

With two other poorly males on our urgent waiting list, this girl has jumped the queue.

The vet is concerned about a swollen abdomen and thinks there could be something sinister going on. We need to find out if it’s a mass.

She needs an urgent scan to find out what’s going on.
The estimate includes further treatment that may be required such as bloods etc. It could be up to that amount but will update you.

We can’t afford this but couldn’t leave her when original post said maggots (there isn’t any) but she is in such a state.

Please donate if you can to help Lucy.

Last night we were out late dealing with a sad situation.

A lady posted that she had got a kitten she believed was quite young and the kitten was not safe at hers with her dogs.
Looking at the picture, we offered to help immediately concerned for the welfare of the kitten.

We then asked the lady, who was happy for us to help her, where she had the kitten from and we were able to get two more very underweight and likely way under 8 week old kittens from the woman who apparently wanted them gone last night… with no ability to wait otherwise they would go for £20 to whoever wanted them.

We offered to take mum as apparently she is constantly having kittens. This was declined but no wonder with demands for money and threats to the amazing volunteer who went out to get them that continued today.

We didn’t get mum but offered to neuter but this was declined.

If you go and get underweight kittens and you become aware of this, seek support from a rescue and report the ‘greeder’ to the rspca.

We can’t help everyone. We do what we can.

To the people who do this to their poor mum cats…it’s selfish and greedy.

Thank goodness for these 3 siblings who are now safe together but we know this is just 3 of many kittens all over the country who sadly don’t have owners who care for their welfare.

That’s all we have to remember when we are faced with such situations.

Welcome babies and it’s an early night for the team tonight! 💤

‼️URGENT HOME NEEDED

This is a direct home and Shim Shim would from her current temporary home into her forever home with you.

This is Shim Shim
She is 8 years old and unfortunately her owner has found herself homeless and needs somewhere safe for her cat.

Very sweet and loving cat
She is neutered.
We can flea and worm her if needed. New owner would need to take over cost of vaccinations.

She needs a home on her own ideally, older children would be fine.

Home check will be required.

Let’s get Shim Shim safe.

Message us if you can help 🐾

Hellooooo adopters I’m still looking for my forever home and a home for all of my besties. Love from Alisha

Cassie and Bow in their new home 🐾❤️ This makes us SO happy because Cassie has been viewed a few times then was adopted and returned after two days. Her foster mum Helen waited so long for Cassie’s happy ever after and knew the potential she had when someone gave her a chance to show her true personality. Everything happens for a reason as her new family have provided her the space to feel settled and this video is only 4 days after she left us ❤️

Wait for the end and little Alisha’s meow. She may not have a full tail and she’s taken a while to grow to a good size but she’s there now and is waiting for her forever home.

Smokey Joe enjoying some lickilix. I am sure this is the way to his heart. He perked right up! 🤞Hopefully someone gets adopted in the next few days and he can move into a foster or a pen so we can continue to develop his confidence.

❤️❤️ Oh Chucky - how are you not in a home? Seeing you wait patiently every day for some love is heartbreaking. Aged 3-5, SWEETHEART, neutered and chipped. Needs to be the only cat.

Some of our funny kittens for your entertainment. Wait for the end 😂

Listen to his breathing 💔💔 He won’t eat and he keeps falling asleep. He is being hospitalised and everyone else is going on antibiotics and eye drops. If you haven’t donated to 50p Friday, please do because it’s going to be a big bill for this little boy. We will do everything we can. 🐾Bank - business account Next steps cat rescue (or Amy Susan turner) 04 06 05 21450944 🐾PAYPAL https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/95KRb2iFrq

Would you like to adopt a cat who plays ball? Woody is the boy for you! Ideally an only cat or with one other chilled cat

💔 Our hearts are broken Unfortunately Tino didn’t tolerate the draining and his breathing worsened, his heart was really struggling and it was felt that the kindest thing to do was to help him cross the rainbow bridge 🌈 We achieved what we wanted when we gave him a chance, thanks to his absolutely amazing foster mum, Suzie and Helen when he initially came in and all of your support. He knew love, warmth and play after coming from squalid conditions, extremely thin and unwell with his heart. Goodbye sweet boy. We are so glad we had you in our lives ❤️ Our time with you was short, but it was full of love.

Tino ❤️ Heart so warm watching him enjoy the sunshine. Please note: he was monitored the whole time and is now back inside. We would love him to have a catio or larger enclosure but don’t have that option currently

A Tino update 🐾 So Tino’s started to fill with fluid slightly again so he has had his medication changed. The vet says things are progressively worsening and although he isn’t in pain or suffering, he won’t be with us much longer. It’s hard seeing a cat with so much will to live and knowing that it won’t be long before his heart gives up and we have to say goodbye. For now Suzie, his wonderful foster mummy, along with his foster daddy and his foster cat siblings, all love him greatly and give him every bit of love he could possibly want. Here is he having a great time on the scratch post and enjoying life.

FOSTER SPACE FOUND - thank you ❤️ 💔💔 Nothing breaks a rescues heart harder than having to say no we can’t help. This cat is crying outside his home that his owners moved out of and he doesn’t understand why he can’t come back in. He does this all night. Waiting to go home. We have no space. We need our current cats adopted to make room for cats in need. We need more Fosterers to help. There always more we can do but we are often powerless to do it.

Dudley by Charles Fronx Amazing!

You will never know how much we truly appreciate your support. Every penny, gesture, donation, food, toy, well wish… helps improve a kitty life! MERRY CHRISTMAS from ours to yours. Here’s a few of the babies you helped this year sending their festive love ❤️🎁🎄😻🥰. Lots of love and well wishes, the next steps team 🐾❤️

🎄 Merry Christmas to all of our followers 🎄 We just want to thank all of our amazing followers this year for everything they do to support us. It’s like having a really big family and we hope that you enjoy your day in whatever way you celebrate. We are not always perfect and we miss things or forget to say thank you individually. This is because we are human and do jobs, have families and try (often failing) to have any other life outside of those things and the rescue. Most lovely people recognise this and we appreciate that you show us that kindness. It’s been a rough year for rescues all over the country as the cost of living crisis continues and people struggle to give their cats the care and love they deserve. Merry Christmas to all of those rescues who won’t get a break on Xmas day and give up so much to do what they do. Every day there is always cats to feed, clean and medicate. Merry Christmas to our fosterers and volunteers. They give up their homes, time and lives to look after cats and support the rescue. You have become friends and like a family - the cats are very lucky to have you and so are we all. We ask that as we try and have a Christmas with our families, you only message us in emergency circumstances. No other messages will be replied to. Thank you everyone 🎄 Apollo and Piper and all of the cats are sending their wishes your way.
