Thinking about getting a kitten? If you're buying from a private seller, have you thought about the costs involved after you've bought them?

We get many calls and messages asking if we can help with kitten neutering costs because the owner can't afford to get this done. Please, do your research and check your finances first. Getting a kitten neutered is the best thing for their health and welfare but don't assume that a charity will automatically pay for this. Contact local vet practices before you make a decision and check whether they are taking on new clients and the costs involved. If you adopt from a reputable cat rescue neutering costs will be included.

LOST CAT: (Ref: Lost 2025.005) Oreo
Location: missing from Zetland Road, but recent sightings in Bury Crescent and Ingledene Close, Gosport. He's proving elusive when his owner visits the area so it'd be helpful if you could keep a note of times and days you see him and if you're able to entice him indoors.

Our branch has started 2025 the same way we finished 2024 - busy, busy, busy!

We currently have 12 cats and kittens in our care and 17 on our waiting list, ready to take up spaces as they are created by adoptions. Talking adoptions, Effie, Binx, Matty and Merry and Ellie all went to their new homes last month and are busy settling in with their new families. The good news doesn't stop there - Bonbon and Sweetie are reserved and their brother Humbug is meeting potential adopters tomorrow, while our little 3-legged girl Tilly went to her new home over the weekend.

We're working as hard as we can to help local cats in need and cooperating with our colleagues at Isle of Wight Cat Centre means another 4 cats from our waiting list came into Cats Protection care, 3 of whom were adopted quickly and the fourth is now reserved. We also made the decision that Anya and Benson would potentially be homed quicker by transferring them to the island - fingers crossed they too will be adopted soon.

We should have more cats up for adoption soon but in the meantime handsome Hugo is still looking for his purrfect home! Hugo likes the cosy things in life - a comfy blanket to snuggle on and lots of love and company. He's very partial to catnip toys and loves the cardboard scratcher both to keep his claws in shape and as somewhere to settle. Hugo enjoys head scratches and gentle affection nudging into you wanting to be stroked. He does like being perched on a shoulder from where he loves to be cuddled and is very happy to settle on a lap for lots of affection. If Hugo sounds like the cat for you pop on over to our website www.cats.org.uk/gosport and complete an enquiry form.

Whether it's Halloween, Christmas or National Dress Your Pet Day, it's never a good idea to dress up your cat. Putting a cat in a costume may seem a harmless bit of fun but it can cause our moggies great stress as they can restrict your cat's movement and can make them feel threatened or unsettled.

With temperatures dropping give some thought to keeping your cat safe in cold weather.

Happy New Year to all our followers, both human and feline! We don't know what challenges we'll face in 2025 but we will continue to help every cat that we possibly can. Many people are facing financial hardship, creating an increased demand for our services. If you are able to support the work we do please donate to our Winter Appeal. Every penny will be used to help local cats. www.justgiving.com/page/cats-like-candy-this-winter

Keep your cat safe this Christmas 🐈🎄

Well done to our TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) team who have finished their latest project! Cat number 13 was caught this week. After being spayed, vaccinated and treated for fleas/worms our team were happy to release her back with the rest of the colony. In total there were 6 males and 7 females, and all females would have been ready to breed come the spring. With an average litter being 3 to 4 kittens and feral females likely to have at least 2 litters a year, this was a population explosion waiting to happen! All the cats will benefit healthwise - the females won't be worn down from constantly rearing kittens and the males are far less likely to fight amongst themselves or catch diseases, which is often the case with unneutered males. A brilliant outcome 😻 Thank you to Chris, Kate, Tara and Heather for giving up your time to help these cat live a better, healthier life. #tnrworks #HereForTheCats #feralcats

We know our cats love a treat and spend much of their time napping, but it’s important to make sure your cat is getting the right nutrition and exercise to keep a healthy weight. Overweight cats are at higher risk of health problems and a cat being underweight is also a sign of health issues. Learn more: http://spr.ly/CatWeight 🐾
