Meet Stanley — The Super Sweet Man-ley! 😚😻

He's looking for his forever home! 😍

Stanley (8yrs) came into our care in some heartbreaking circumstance - he's had a really tough time of it 🥹 Stanley has shown himself to be an extremely affectionate, gentle, and very loving boy! 🥰 We've really had no fuss out of this lovely man!

This gentleman has been nothing but a sweetheart. He LOVES human company - getting this photo was particularly difficult, because he would not stop to look at the camera due to his dedication to bulldozing his head into your legs!

He happily winds around legs and head bumps your hands for pets, and is always ready for cuddles and smooches. While he can be a little shy at first and likes to find a cosy hiding spot to settle in, the moment someone calls him he comes straight out for pats and affection, and settles quickly. He can be very playful with feather and string toys, but he prefers his snuggles the most.

We believe Stanley could live alongside another chill, friendly cat with the all important introductions! 🐾 He'd prefer older or no children. He has had safe, low traffic outdoor access in the past but he's very happy in our care, so we don't think he's much of an adventurer (he gives garden dweller vibes!), and we would consider indoor only.

Viola and Finn (7 months old)😍

This beautiful pair of bonded siblings are ready to find their forever home together!

Viola & Finn are all around sweethearts. Finn is the more confident of the pair — curious, affectionate, and always interested in what’s going on around him. He’s the kind of cat who will happily come over to investigate, say hello, and soak up attention. Viola is a little quieter at first, but don’t let that fool you. Given a bit of time, she really comes into her own and shows off her sweet, affectionate nature. She’s gentle, lovely, and forms a strong bond once she feels comfortable.

Find out more about them via our website below, and 'enquire about Viola & Finn' at the bottom of their profiles to apply, if interested in giving them a loving home! 👇

Update Monday 4th May - As of this afternoon, poor Derek has gone over the rainbow bridge due to ill health in the arms of his loving owner 😔 RIP Derek 🙏🌈

OWNER FOUND 🙏 We have limited comments, to allow for some privacy during this difficult time.

EMERGENCY OWNER APPEAL - Derek, Cameron's Carpark Cat 🛑⚠️

We are aware Derek is definitely owned nearby and has been treated ongoing for some time for existing health problems, but unfortunately we do not have contact details for his owner. He is not microchipped.

Derek has become unwell, and was taken to a local vets by a member of the public. He has been found unfit to release, and so we are aware of his location to inform his owner to follow up.

Proof of ownership will be required, we know many care deeply for Derek but we can only inform his owner of his location at this time 🙏

Please note Cats Protection is not directly involved, so we will not have ongoing updates. We are just assisting to try to make contact with his owner!

Please email [email protected] if you are his owner, to be informed where to contact. He is safe and under veterinary care.

🐾 Calling all kids & crafters! 🐾

Need an idea to keep busy over the long Bank Holiday weekend? Why not get crafty and help some very clever cats at the same time! 🎨✂️

Barti is a super curious, intelligent cat who is both blind and deaf! 🙈🙉 He explores the world in his own way and absolutely LOVES enrichment toys and puzzle feeders that keep his mind active! He has a couple now which we rotate to keep things fresh, but he's SO smart he'd love some more!

✨ That's where you come in! ✨

Have a go at making homemade feeding enrichment toys or puzzles — perfect for a rainy afternoon project! Ideas include:

- Egg carton puzzles 🥚
- Cardboard box mazes 📦
- Crinkly paper puzzles 🎁
- Anything safe, creative, and stimulating!

Check out the link below for some ideas!💡 👇
https://www.cats.org.uk/cats-blog/feeding-enrichment-puzzles-for-your-cat

If we’re lucky enough to receive lots, your creations will also help keep other bright cats/kittens in our care busy and entertained too! 🐱💡Go wild!

If not local to our collection points, we'd still invite you to join in! Your own cats will love a puzzle challenge too - and you can send us a photo of your creations to [email protected] 🤗✨

📍 Drop-off details:
Your crafts can be left at one of our vet clinics to be collected:

➡️ Ballymena Pet Vet (Henry Street, Ballymena) or The Mill Veterinary Clinic (Houston's Mill, Broughshane)
📅 'Barti's Boxes' will be open in the clinics to receive your creations next Tuesday & Wednesday (5th & 6th May)

We would ask your creations for donation not to include toilet roll tubes for hygiene reasons, unless it's puzzles for your own cats! ⛔

A simple craft can make a big difference — and it’s a great way to spend the Bank Holiday doing something a little different 🐾

Resharing our appeal! 🙏✨

Our previous appeal had some success, and led to some feral cats getting a safe place to call home!

We are down to our final 3 cats from our current situation, needing a new outdoor home 🤗

These young, healthy cats will come neutered, flea worm treated, disease tested and health checked.

All they need is:
- A safe, rural location
- Somewhere to shelter
- Food/Water
- An initial enclosed area such as a shed/garage/barn/stable to stay in for a short time, to prevent them becoming lost.

Please email [email protected] if you could provide a home to some outdoor living mousers, in exchange for top quality pest control! 🐀🐭😼

The fabulous Marv has come on the market - line up, ladies!
For such an affectionate and distinguished older gentleman 🥰🥹

Marv (est 13yrs, FIV+) came into our care as a stray, when he was handed into a local vets by a kind member of the public after a minor paw injury. Marv is one big, cuddly teddy bear! He makes the best biscuits in town, and all he wants is snuggles and love. He adores people, and is such a chill and gentle big man.

FIV cats require strictly indoor only living for their safety, and Marv could live alongside another FIV positive cat with introductions as he's a lover! He would be fantastic with children of any age. FIV is a virus which affects a cats immune system, however with proper care and indoor living they can live full, healthy and normal lives. Marv is in great health! You can find out more about FIV at the link below 👇

Remember the adorable mum, and her much loved, bonded sons? ❤️😍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

It was a big ask - but we are SO happy to see them in a loving home together, safe and sound! ✨

Bumble, Rumble & Tumble are now Millie, Rusty & Tiger - and are still very much the loving family unit! 😚

Nothing better than a nap in a fur pile on a cosy easter sunday!

Introducing the lovely Buttons ❤️ Who has officially started her weight loss journey 💪

If only we were all so easily motivated to exercise! 😅

Buttons (13yrs old) entered our care last week, when she unfortunately lost her human mum who had loved her since a kitten 🥺 Buttons is such a sweetheart, and is taking to her diet and gently encouraged exercise so well!

It’s always a big change for cats coming into care, especially after losing someone so important, but she’s showing us just how resilient and loving she is.

Maintaining a healthy weight in cats is so important for their overall wellbeing, helping to support their joints, heart, and long-term mobility. It’s something that can be easy to overlook, especially when food is such a simple way to show love and comfort.

With the right balance of nutrition, enrichment, and care, even small changes can make a big difference — and Buttons is already proving just how positive that journey can be! 🐾💛 Buttons will be up for adoption in the future, but for now she's just getting started (so stay tuned!)
