There are multiple ways to add vertical space to increase your cat's sense of territory. In a multicat home especially, vertical territory can go a long way in maintaining peace and harmony.

A date for your Diary's :

🎄Come along to our event and help stop the cycle.

At the event there will be a stall where you can apply for discounted neutering vouchers – for your own cats, the local stray tom spraying in your garden, or the queen who keeps turning up with litter after litter.

Neutering saves lives. Get it done‼️‼️

In addition to leaving the carrier out, periodically leave treats nearby and even inside it.

Monday 8th September saw our elderly boy, Brian, have an extensive dental done.
Background to Brian. He was abandoned many years ago in the local area. He was an unneutered, unchipped grumpy adult tom cat who ruled his territory. He got fed by several people but nobody bothered to do the kindest thing of all which was to neuter him.
He took some trapping as he was semi feral from living on the streets for so long.
Once we caught him he was neutered, chipped and ear tipped and once recovered, released back in his territory. That was back in 2015. After that he continued to get well fed at various homes.
Fast forward to 2023 and he found himself needing a home of his own when his feeders left and his last option dried up. So here came to CCR HQ where he has been ever since.
But gone is the grumpy boy I met in 2015 and now he is a big soft lump. Although granted he would prefer to live alone rather with all the cats here.
We know he is at least 12 years old but could be a lot older. However when he became unwell, despite the cost, we arranged for him to have tests done and eventually he had his dental. He has 4 teeth left now and must of been in a lot of pain with many retained roots in his mouth. They’re all gone and he is now recovering well.
But he has left us with a pretty decent sized bill. So if anyone wanted to donate or even sponsor Brian every month, we’d be grateful.
He was up for adoption but nobody wants an oldie like him. So he has a home here for as long as he needs it. He may have other health issues so it's probably best he stays sadly. We may consider a long term foster home for him though.

✨ Meet Jelly ✨

This stunning queen has already done her big job in life — she’s the proud mum of the four foster kittens currently in my care. With her kittens all grown and off on their own adventures, Jelly has officially retired from her role as “designer of kittens” and is now ready to enjoy the good life: full of love, cuddles, and plenty of snacks. 🐾💖

At around 18 months old, Jelly is still young herself — a stylish little lady with her bold “fringe” and the attitude to match. She’s a ready-made style icon who knows what she likes. Jelly adores strokes and fussing, but don’t be fooled — she can throw out a judgy look worthy of a Vogue cover shoot when she’s in the mood.

She’d make a fabulous companion for the right person. A few things to know:
🐾 She’s not a fan of other cats, so she’ll want to be the star of the show.
🐾 She’s best suited to a home without small children (older, respectful ones are fine).
🐾 She’s a house cat, though access to a secure garden or catio would be a lovely bonus.

With four kittens already raised, this stylish queen is ready for her forever family — somewhere she can swap motherhood duties for pampered naps and endless affection.

👉 For all enquiries about Jelly, please contact Consett Cat Rescue directly.

💕The Scrapyard Sweethearts💕

I honestly can’t get over these four — I think I might just be fostering the most beautiful kittens on the planet. They’re so soft, gentle and ridiculously cuddly.

What I love most is watching their little friendships form… they’ve got their favourite pairings, whether it’s snuggling together for a nap or giving each other a good wash. It’s like having a front-row seat to the cutest soap opera ever. 🐾

But the best bit of my day? Definitely when I sit down in the evening and they all pile on. Some tuck themselves right in beside me, and the bold ones wriggle straight into the pouch of my big cat hoodie like it’s their own personal hammock.

They might have started life in a scrapyard, but these Scrapyard Sweethearts are nothing but love, purrs and perfect little paws. 🐱💖
