🥳 BERTIE NEWS!!

1. He had BOTH operations at DWR Veterinary Specialists yesterday, they went really well (!!!) and it turns out he needed them even more than we realised.
2. He's done brilliantly overnight and is now out of the oxygen tent and breathing on his own. He's even had some food!
3. We get to pick him up tomorrow!!!!
4. We reached our funding goal which means we can pay for his treatment in full 😭

(If you're just catching up / don't know what we're talking about, you can find the full story on the GoFundMe in the comments, but in short: our cat Bertie has no eyes and a big hole in his heart, and he needed dental and eye surgery which was a) very risky and b) very expensive. But the cat lovers of the world really stepped up for him and made it happen for the first available appointment at the specialist hospital, which was yesterday, and tomorrow we get to bring him home!).

We're actually slightly over our goal now which is incredible. Any extra funds raised will go to caring for the wobbly and wonky kitties at our rescue. Proof always available, just ask.

I've put a longer update on the GoFundMe itself with all the details of yesterday's surgeries and the outcomes of his tests. It should hopefully be emailed if you donated, or you can go to the page and scroll down to "updates."

It's been a scary 24 hours and we're not out of the woods yet, but our perfect boy is alive and well and starting his new life without all the painful bits. Thank you for being by our side yesterday, and for being part of Bertie's story. He inspires us every day. ❤️

Today is an AMAZING day because thanks to you, we're on our way to Dick White Referrals in the excellently named Six Mile Bottom, so our miracle boy Bertie can have his eye and tooth operations!

I can't believe how generous everyone has been on our appeal. When I realised we needed to raise £5.5k in under a week, I thought we had no chance. But the internet of cat lovers rallied round for our best blind boy and we're now less than £1k short of our target. Can we get over the finish line before we pick him up from surgery?

If we receive anything above our target, it will -- like always -- go to care, food, medicine and toys for our happy band of wobbly and wonky moggies.

Thank you so, so much for helping us do this. Bert has defied all the odds to still be here aged 3, and we're so grateful for this chance to make his life as happy and healthy as possible with his condition.

One of the most special cats we've ever met needs some help.

This is Bertie, who you might already know is one of our permanent residents due to a very rare genetic condition that caused him to have no eyes, two noses and a big old hole in his heart. As a kitten, he was given less than a year to live, but it's his 4th birthday next month and he's still here living his life, defying the odds, and trying to swim in the toilet.

However, in a turn of events that could probably only happen to us, this eyeless kitty needs eye removal surgery. Yep, you read that correctly. You can find out more (and see more pics of the cutest miracle cat in the world, ever) at the link in the comments. We would hugely appreciate any help you can give, as we have a surgery slot THIS FRIDAY with all the specialists he needs. We can get him the 100 miles to the hospital, but we'll need your help to pay the bill. Thank you ❤️

KRONK HAS BEEN SPOTTED! He's been roaming around Fairham Close, Brookside Road and Grange Avenue in Ruddington (Nottingham), but unfortunately so far he has evaded our trap and also the people trying desperately to bring their missing cat home.

Please could everyone in Ruddington keep an eye out for him, if you see him please call the number on the poster rather than approaching him as he's easily spooked. Thank you ❤️

Look, I'm as disillusioned with the world and the slow pace of change as everyone else, but the fact is that groups of us banding together to change something is the only way change happens. It's the only way it's ever happened. Think of the people who successfully campaigned against leaded petrol or acid rain, or for women's votes or seat belts, or against indoor smoking and drink driving and fox hunting. Those changes all looked like they weren't going to happen until they did.

Like many of you, I have signed multiple petitions asking for it to be illegal for people to hit innocent cats with their cars and just drive off and leave them there, injured and alone. And like you I have been disappointed but not surprised when the government took one glance and said "nah, that's just for dogs."

But every time we ask, it gets a little less indefensible for them to ignore us. Every time we ask, the chorus gets a little bit louder. And one day, we will ask, and they will finally listen, and that night a kitty hurt on the road will be taken to a vet hospital and helped.

And it will be worth it for that one alone, never mind all the ones that'll be saved in the months and years after.

This petition is getting amazing support, but there are only two weeks left to get it across the 100,000 line. That means ministers won't be able to ignore it once more -- they will HAVE to at least debate the issue. If you haven't signed and shared yet, please do: somewhere, an injured kitty on the side of the road is counting on you.

You'll find the link in the comments. (Picture is of a kitty who is alive and fine, we're not in the business of ruining your day with graphic images).

Someone messaged to ask if something bad happened to Gorgonzola because we hadn't done an update about his surgery -- I'm so sorry! Kitten season has kicked RIGHT off and we're drowning in requests to take disabled cats, kittens, mums, you name it.

ANYWAY, thanks to your generous donations, our gorgeous cheesy boy has been neutered and partially shaved (he was incredibly matted and covered in fleas) and has had almost all of his teeth out. They may have to take the last one too, depending how his gingivo-stomatitis goes, but we're hoping not.

Little guy is not out of the woods yet -- as you can see he's still pretty scrungly! But we've relieved most of the pain he was in and he purrs his head off when he sees us, which seems like a good sign ❤️

We're hoping to start a chat community of Merry Moglovers, somewhere you can ask questions, post cat pictures, talk to Holly, get quicker updates / photos of your favourite cats, and feel part of a welcoming crowd of the very best cat people -- the ones who'll consider a disabled or down-on-their luck moggy.

We've been debating this behind the scenes for a bit, but none of us can agree on what platform is best to put it on! We've had various suggestions from Facebook (obvs) or Instagram, to WhatsApp, Teams, Discord and Slack.

Indulge us Elder Millennials -- what platforms / apps / websites would you find the easiest and most fun to visit to chat about cats?

(If you would never join something like this, that's also useful info 😆)

UPDATE: donations through our Patreon, Paypal, Ko-Fi and website still work as normal, I spent many hours connecting them to the new bank account 😆 it's just direct bank transfers affected.

We've been a teeeensy bit stressed because our bank chucked us out at short notice, saying they don't service charities (even though we've been with them for years and were always upfront about what we were!).

We raced to get another charity account in time, which we managed, but because it's a tiny, charity-specific bank, their processes are a bit... 80s. We don't have debit cards yet because we had to send a wet signature in the actual post.

None of this affects you except that if you had a standing order to donate, or you had our old bank details and liked to send money occasionally, those details will no longer work.

These are the new ones:

Name: Holly's Merry Moggies (leave out the apostrophe if it causes problems!)
Sort code: 405240
Account number: 73014343

The new bank doesn't work on my phone browser and doesn't have an app, so I will not be the quickest at noticing things. Do give me a prod if you need me to acknowledge something like an adoption donation and I haven't yet.

Smol Paul here is demonstrating my face when I got the message from the old bank 😆

Alright, eagle-eyed mogspotters, I need your full attention please. A really excellent, I mean REALLY excellent, cat and former Merry Moggy has gone MISSING in Nottingham, and we want to see him home.

This is Kronk. Kronk is a big silly orange and white boy who managed to break out of a window during the heatwave. His owners have just moved and although he's lived on the streets before (he was a stray when he came to us), it was in West Bromwich, so he doesn't know this area at all.

His home is on Camelot Crescent in the village of Ruddington, and we and his owners have been out every day posting leaflets and looking for him, but it's been days now, and we don't have any confirmed sightings.

Kronkosaurus is microchipped and neutered, and he's not wearing a collar. He has a high-pitched meow and an adorably daft face. We've brought cats home from miles away, so even if you're not in our neck of the woods, please keep an eye out for Kronk. Tell everyone you know and help us bring him home.
