Precious Paws Cat Rescue York

F, F and F (how's that for a heading?)

As Christmas is fast approaching we thought a post inviting you to show us A FUNNY PHOTO, A FESTIVE PHOTO (showing them perhaps sitting by a Christmas tree – as mentioned in a separate post recently please do be mindful of additional dangers at Christmas) or even just YOUR FAVOURITE PHOTO of your pussycats adopted from us would be lovely. We love seeing other animals too so feel free to post them as well.

We will start it off – baths in peace are things of the past with Prince, adopted from Precious Paws and he is extremely precious. He is a bit of a limpet never leaving me alone but a lovely limpet and a very therapeutic family member who never fails to make us smile.

Whose dog and whose cat or kitten deserves a treat?

We have for sale 3 dog jumpers so kindly made by one of our fundraising ladies and they are lovely! She made lots and only 3 are left. They are £3 each for the extra small (approximate back length 25 cm) and and £3.50 for the small (approximate back length 36 cm

And for sale too is a really cute bed donated to us. It wouldn’t suit a large cat but it’s lovely for a kitten or smallish cat. £7.50 anyone please?

Payment in advance by bank transfer please and collection by prior arrangements from YO31 area of York.

NO ADOPTION ENQUIRIES YET PLEASE but just a sneak peek of a very lovely 13 year old gentleman who will be coming up soon.

He’s called Percy but we think Perfect Percy is more appropriate

Thank you so much to one of our wonderful supporters. We are so grateful to you ###

Now it’s Wren’s turn to shine as she has been spayed and chipped, will soon have completed her initial course of vaccinations and so we are happy to accept adoption enquiries with her in mind but of course, as always, a home visit is the first step so please do message us if you think she could be the right one for you.

Her fabulous foster mum has done this write up about her:-

‘Wren is a tortoiseshell cat but looks almost like a black beauty flecked with gold.

She loves to watch the birds from the window and follow you from room to room.

She also loves to sleep on your lap, such a gorgeous petite girl ❤️’

She is gentle and kind and so could suit most homes including those with children who are also gentle and kind and respectful. As mentioned in a previous post we will be taking into consideration any adopter’s plans for the festive season because we must always do what is right for every cat and kitten coming into our care.

She is estimated to be around 18 months old.

What a beauty inside and out

Looking for love ❤️

Introducing the wonderful Mags!

Mags came to us with her two kittens, both of whom have found their forever homes. Mags has since been spayed and has settled into the quiet life!

Mags is a very sweet and tiny cat, who as you can see is stunning. We think she is about 18 months old so still a young cat! She is however, quite a nervous cat. She needs time to trust you, but this is helped by her love of treats! She will often battle her fear of new people if it means getting some chicken treats or dreamies.

Once she knows you are safe she is a very affectionate cat, but even when wanting fuss she gets scared sometimes. She always likes to come up to you and headbutts you for pets. When you’re a really trusted person, she adores soft belly rubs and makes biscuits in the air.

We think mags needs a quite home, preferably without any young children, and a home that’s not too busy. She wouldn’t mind being homed with another calm cat though, as she likes to play with her foster mums cat under the door! We do think she would be best as an indoor cat, or with access to a secure garden, or possibly outdoor access in a very quiet area, as loud noises can make her skittish.

Please get in touch with us if you think you can provide mags with a home where she can be safe and happy for the rest of her life.

Roxy has now turned into an even more affectionate cat but she just takes time to get to know people.

She wants to be the only pet in the home please and would like outdoor access once fully settled.

When will her foster mum be able to tell her she is lucky?

KIKI WILL NEED TO BE ADOPTED WITHIN REACH OF OUR VET IN YORK PLEASE AS NEEDS HER 2ND VACCINATION, SPAYING AND CHIPPING THERE AND ALSO NEEDS A HOME WITH A SUITABLE CAT FOR HER TO BOND WITH PLEASE.

‘Hi everyone Kiki here. All my brothers and sisters have homes to go to and there’s just the lovely me now to find mine.

When people visit i am shy to begin with and sometimes i hide behind my foster mum but when i know you won’t hurt me i do come over to say hello.

I am in foster with a large dog who i love to snooze with and also a 20 month old little girl who is my best friend. I would like a home with another cat to play with and could live with dogs/children.

I am ready to go to my new home so does anyone want a forever friend?

Love Kiki x’

INFORMATION POST

Christmas is an exciting time for so many BUT with it comes DANGERS so please always be careful with your beautiful animals.

The plants pictured here are dangerous to cats - as indeed are many others so please always check.

In addition tinsel, Christmas tree lights etc. can be hazardous and flocked Christmas trees can also be an issue.

PLEASE ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION TO KEEP YOUR ANIMALS SAFE and also, of course, have a wonderful Christmas.

Another lovely donation . Thank you Sharon (for the love of dogs) & Mike. Xx

Our absolutely stunning Mackintosh who needs a home with outdoor access once fully settled and not with children as he can get quite giddy but he is also super loving.

We know there is the right home for him but we need your help to find it please

Tonight’s cold and miserable and just perfect for snuggling on the sofa according to these beauties.

NOT READY YET as still needs spaying but how beautiful is little Wren who came to us with her litter of kittens who have all gone to wonderful homes.

It’s now her to get all the fuss and she will never go through pregnancy or raising kittens again.

We will advertise her a bit further down the lane but she’s a real darling as you can see

UPDATE WATSON, BEAR AND PICKLE ARE RESERVED 🙂

Feast your eyes on these fabulous felines (please note there have been some successful home visits already and priority is given to those lovely people) but not all six will be spoken for.

Here is a write up from their fabulous foster mum:-

“This litter of kittens have been brought up with a large dog and have also been with a (very vibrant!) 20 month old little girl who you can see from the photos adores them so they can all go with children and dogs.

They all have their individual personalities-

Arthur- The most confident of the 6, full of cuddles, play and cheekiness.

Maggie- Sweet girl, playful and loves her toys and interacting with people.

Kiki- The most shy, independent, loves to sleep with the dog and chirps at the birds at the patio doors. Gains in confidence everyday.”

As usual they need to go in pairs please unless an adopter has a suitable cat already for a kitten to bond with . Please message us if you interested in adopting from us.

A big thank you to everyone who came to the Christmas Fair at New Earswick Folk Hall on Saturday - we raised slightly over £300 which was great. And a big thank you must go to the very people who make and donate items to us to sell which were much admired.

We met and chatted with lots of lovely people. As always the tombola was very popular so do bear us in mind at any point if you have unwanted items suitable for a tombola please.

The organisation of the event was top notch as always and even the weather was kind which was great for this time of year.
