Feline Festive with WISCK! 😻

Smiles from some of our lovely WISCK supporters despite the awful weather they braved in order to collect their WISCK Christmas raffle prizes!

Thank you to everyone who supported us by buying raffle tickets. Every single penny raised goes towards the care of the cats and kittens in our care, some of which you would have seen in yesterday's post. WISCK has been busier than ever this year and it is purely down to YOUR support that we are able to do what we do. Heart felt festive wishes to you all 😽😻

🎄🎅MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🎄

Well everyone at Cat Central and in all our foster homes have had a wonderful day. Here are just some of them with bellies full of Turkey and Ham to say thank you to you all! We couldn’t save all these kittens and cats without your help.

This Christmas alone we have Calum Alec found at Manor garage in pictures one and two. He’s moved this week into foster with one of our team, he’s still struggling with his skin condition and is on steroids and two other treatments to see if we can finally get him better. Although he’s such an amazing wee guy he really doesn’t complain and is just so loving and sweet. Pictures 3&4 feature two of our Barra Kittens who will be looking for their new homes in the New Year. Pictures 4&5 feature Suki, one of the Uist kittens. If you remember she had a dreadful eye infection and has to have it removed. She had to grow to over 2kg before she could get her op and has now achieved that 🥳. After Christmas she’ll be heading off to Inverness to have her eye removed. Pictures 6.7 &8 are some of our Barra kittens who will also be looking for homes. Picture 9 is two of our Barra ladies who have secured a fabby barn home to go to this weekend and last but not least is ‘Sad Eyes’. We’re now wondering if we should be changing his name to ‘Sad Eye’, seems a bit soon though 😄. He had a very settled night, is eating well and absolutely loved his Turkey today. He’s letting us pet him now too so we hope in time he’s going to trust us more and more!

These are just some of the Cats and Kittens in care this Christmas. Sorry for the long post but we just wanted to thank you all for your continued support when we know times are tough for everyone. We so appreciate all of your support and honestly couldn’t do this without you all! We consider WISCK a community affair and we are all so grateful that with your support we can help so many of our Islands wild living cats achieve a safe future. Merry Christmas from the WISCK team and all the babies 💜🐈🐈‍⬛

💜SAD EYES💜

Poor Sad Eyes from Barra has had a lousy day. We noticed yesterday that there was a lot of discharge coming from his eye and as it turned out his eye had ‘popped’. Poor lad was kept in the vets last night and today he was operated on to remove his useless eye as well as be neutered. He’s now on pain relief and if all goes well he’ll return to the vet in 10 days to have his stitches out. Thank goodness tomorrow is Turkey day, this guy deserves some spoiling, bless him.

If anyone can spare a few quid towards his vet bill we would be really grateful. We have a full Cat Central this year for Christmas so hopefully Santa Paws 🎅🐾 visits 🎄

Happy Christmas Eve to you all 💜

💜 This gentleman is known as ‘Sad eyes’ by the people who feed him in Barra. He eluded us while we were there this week but the kind people who feed him kept trying and yesterday they brought him to Cat Central. Bless him he certainly looks like he’s had it hard out there. His neighbour Hucknell was slightly offended that he sat on his head as soon as he got into the pen but they’ve picked a bed each now and have settled well.

Tomorrow he’ll be booked into the vet and have his eye looked at, we believe it’s too late to save it and the best course of action for his health will be to remove it. Hopefully once this is done and he’s neutered he may decide he likes being indoors as the lovely couple who brought him up would love him to stay with them. We’ll keep you posted how his vet visit goes but if anyone can donate towards his treatment we would be very grateful. This guy deserves all our help, bless him.

💜 ANOTHER BARRA TRIP 💜

Two of our volunteers made another dash to Barra this week when we were informed about a colony of cats with 4 young kittens that needed our help. Of course not ones to do things by halves and having gone all that way we decided to visit Vatersay too and help with some wild living cats that were getting out of control. We also collected ‘Hucknell’ a most handsome gentleman who makes Glengall his home. As he has so many great folk who care about and feed him this gorgeous ginger gentleman will be neutered next week and return as soon as possible to his home on Barra. So we came home with 13 in total!

So it goes without saying these guys are going to be with us over Christmas, this means our amazing volunteers will have to be out over the holidays caring for them all! We honestly can’t thank them enough, they’re an awesome group of people!

It also means of course that we have larger than usual costs ahead to care for them all and neuter and treat them. If you can spare any amount towards their care we would be most grateful. Hopefully Santapaws 🎅 will visit them all here at Cat Central and bring them cosy blankets, new toys and some Turkey! 🦃

💜 Thank You to Our Incredible Volunteers! 💜 This week, our incredible volunteers have travelled over 1️⃣0️⃣3️⃣8️⃣ miles across Lewis, Harris, Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, and South Uist. These miles covered essential tasks like vet runs, cleaning cat pens, doing washing, collecting supplies, and more importantly, rescuing cats in need. Because of their dedication, we have been able to take in 3️⃣3️⃣ cats and kittens this week who desperately needed our help. Each one of these furry friends will require veterinary care, neutering, housing, and feeding. WISCK is a wholly volunteer-run organisation with no paid staff and no income. We rely entirely on the generous support of our amazing community. Without your donations and support, none of this would be possible. Please consider supporting us to ensure these cats and kittens receive the care they need. Your donations make a huge difference. 📌Any help no matter how small amount will be invaluable to ensuring the health and survival of these cats. RBS bank account details are: Sortcode: 83-27-12 Account number: 15988656 Account name: Western Isles Support for Cats and Kittens PayPal: [email protected] If paying by PayPal please choose friends and family so we get 100% of your donation. Thank you as always for your continued support, we really couldn’t do any of this without you all. 🐾💜 Visit our website: www.wisck.co.uk for more information Stay tuned for more updates on these cats in the coming week!

❤️ ADOPTED ❤️ Thank you to everyone that offered to give her a home. We are all just so sad that not one person has offered our Cinders a home to call her own. After far too many years living outside, fending for herself and being so scared people were going to hurt her when she was clearly abandoned by whoever owned her! We know she was once a pet, she’s so content indoors and shows absolutely no interest in going back outside ever bless her. That may of course change once she’s in a loving home and knows that she’ll always have a warm bed and a full belly to come home to if she has a wee wander in the garden. Surely someone has a Cinders shaped hole in their life? She doesn’t demand anything! She’s happy to watch the world go by and have a wee fuss. All she needs is a home without other pets or young children, although careful introduction to a quiet resident cat may be possible. Please if you can’t offer her a home then share this post to help find her special someone, we know they’re just waiting for her! -More new pics in comments 💕

These guys are keeping their foster Mum on her toes! Such a fab age for kittens and better than tv to entertain. Once they’re old enough they’ll be posted on the page for adoption so please no messages till we advertise them 💜

🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for our Quiz Night last night! We had a fantastic turnout and are excited to announce that we raised an incredible £6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! A special shout-out to Lewis & Harris Rangers Supporters Club for their generous donation and for being superb hosts. 🙌 The quiz was a spirited competition with 10 rounds, including a fun picture round. It all came down to a nail-biting tiebreaker, where "You Gotta Be Kitten Me" emerged victorious! 🐾🏆 As a completely voluntary organisation that operates without external funding, the support from our community is truly invaluable. Every single penny we raise directly supports our efforts across the Western Isles. Thank you once again to everyone involved for making the night a great success, and for helping us to make a difference 🐾 #CommunitySupport #FundraisingSuccess #QuizNight #CatRescue #TrapNeuterReturn #WesternIsles

💜NESS BOY💜 Our handsome lad rescued last week in Ness is off to the vets today too! We are so delighted he’s learning to trust us and showing more of his personality daily. His chest has improved and we just know that once that tight painful coat is removed he’s going to be a different cat. Updates later when he’s home safe 💜
