Have you ever wondered what to do if you found a lost, stray or feral cat? 🐱

Here are 5 steps to follow:

1. Try not to feed the cat unless they look obviously underweight. Feeding a cat will encourage the cat to come back, even if they have an owner.
2. Put up posters and list the cat on your local community page.
3. If the cat looks to be in a bad way, possibly neglected or treated cruelly, contact the RSPCA.
4. If the cat is happy to be handled and if you are able to, take the cat to the vets where they can check for a microchip.
5. If the cat doesn't have an owner, contact your local Cats Protection who can provide support and guidance.

Here are our top FIREWORKS tips! 🎆🎇

Please help to share so our furry friends can be looked after sufficiently, it can be a very stressful time for them!

Halloween has been and gone, and now we’re left wondering what to do with the pumpkins we carved. Don’t just throw them away! 🎃

If you have a garden or outside space, you probably get wildlife visitors who would love a tasty pumpkin treat – even if you don’t always see them. Squirrels, foxes, badgers and birds will all enjoy pumpkin flesh. Check that the inside isn’t burnt or scorched and remove any candle wax. You may want to cut it up into chunks for animals to eat easily.

P.S please don’t leave pumpkin at ground level as it can cause diarrhoea in hedgehogs which can be dangerous for them when going into hibernation. Pop it on a fence, bench, bird table or similar so it can be accessed easily by those who need it whilst protecting our prickly pals ❌🦔
