Struggling with what to buy a cat lover for Christmas?

If so maybe consider becoming one of our Precious Pals on the person's behalf. If you let us have the person's name if you do decide to do this we can produce a lovely certificate to email to you which you could frame and give to them as a gift.

Here is the link which gives all the info and helps more than we can ever say. Any regular amount is hugely appreciated. We have Precious Pals sending us £2 a month and others send more. We are equally grateful to them all or indeed anyone who donates anything to us. ###

COULD YOU BE A “PRECIOUS PAL”?

Friends of Precious Paws – we need your help now more than ever. We know times are not easy for many right now so we do apologise for this plea but sadly ongoing fundraising is essential. It is no exaggeration to say that we receive requests to help cats and kittens every single day of the year. There is no such thing as a day off and if we are able to help then we will do so. Costs never go down – they only increase – and we need to keep doing what we are doing because we are helping so many cats and kittens.

Precious Paws runs entirely on volunteers, but feeding all the cats & kittens in our care costs a lot of money plus buying the other supplies needed for them and vet bills too which is our biggest expense costing tens of thousands of pounds each year! Fundraising is therefore critical to our continued operation.

Sooooo – here’s the big idea! We are looking for extra special supporters who are willing to become Precious Pals. Precious Pals are very special people who would be willing and able to become a regular donor to Precious Paws. This would mean donating a regular monthly amount to support the work that Precious Paws does. We’d love it if you could join the extremely kind people who already donate monthly and help to support us this way.

If anyone would like to become a “Precious Pal” that would be amazing. Just foregoing a cup of coffee each month could really help to save a life. Our suggested donation is £4, but literally ANY amount is a massive help and regular donations are really important as we never want to say no to a cat because of the costs involved.

If you would like any further information about becoming a Precious Pal – please feel free to message us directly. If you are ready and would like to become a Precious Pal now – you will need to create a standing order for a regular monthly donation from your bank account to Precious Paws account – details below and on the poster:-

Despite the rain , we are still having our stall at the Folk Hall in New Earswick this afternoon.

Please come and see us if you can. We might look a bit soggy but our beautiful goods won’t be - some lovely Christmas items - and we have our TERRIFIC TOMBOLA of course.

We are outside but have a gazebo and there are lots of other stalls inside and we believe some activities for children so a nice family outing.

Hoping to see you here ###

PALLIATIVE CARE POPPY – one of the prettiest poppets we have ever seen

Poppy came into our care almost 4 years ago when she was 11 years old. Once all her vet work was completed she found a really lovely countryside home with a lovely gentleman.

Sadly his health deteriorated and so Poppy returned to our care in April 2025 at the grand old age of 14 (she’s now 15 ) and soon settled into life with her fabulous foster mum and has proved to be an absolute sweetheart but unfortunately Poppy now has a health issue meaning she will remain with us whilst ever she is loving life and not suffering. She is also being extremely well cared for (Her foster mum takes really good photos - and these are some of my personal favourites of her.)

We know a decision will need to be made in time but that time isn't yet for this special girl whose care is quite costly – but no one can put a price on a life of course and we love her, as we love them all.

So to all of you who support in any way at all you're not only helping to fill the tummies of the fit and healthy ones but you are helping to keep cats like Poppy comfortable and pain free too and we love you all for doing that (support doesn't just involve money of course – it includes sharing our posts, telling friends about us and so much more.) So a very big THANK YOU ###

HOMING OVER THE FESTIVE PERIOD – AND THE REASONS BEHIND OUR APPROACH

Cats and kittens in need don’t stop being in need because it is a special occasion so the work of rescues continues all year round, behind the scenes.

Some rescues totally stop homing over the Christmas/New Year period and we totally respect their decisions on this but we have thought long and hard about this and as we want always to do what is right for the cats/kittens who come to us, our stance is that we will carefully consider and assess each individual situation on its own merits. We are aware that some people have a couple of weeks off at Christmas and so, providing they are not planning to have hectic households over that time, then that can be a good settling in period for new family members but if someone’s house will be very busy then clearly that would not be a good option.

What we absolutely want to avoid is any cat or kitten being adopted on impulse and being unwanted in a few weeks’ or a few months’ time because adopting is a huge commitment for the lifetime of that animal and in the case of cats, they can live up to 20 years or even longer so they are not Christmas presents or birthday presents to be discarded after the festivities.

Rescues in fact are always contacted soon after Christmas/at the start of the new year about unwanted animals and if no spaces have been freed up, then they simply can't take any in. However our commitment to the cats and kittens already in our care is always of paramount importance so PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND AND DON'T BE OFFENDED IF WE ASK YOU TO WAIT TO ADOPT as it is for the right reasons - we want to do our absolute best for any cats or kittens adopted from us and for you as adopters and the easier the transition is to a new home for any cat or kittens adopted, the better any new forever family member/s will settle in and be happy and that's all we want.

FOR ADOPTION (IN PAIRS FOR THE KITTENS PLEASE AND MUM WOULD LIKE TO BE THE ONLY CAT PLEASE ):-

‘We are George, Alfie, Polly, Tilly and Phoebe (mum).

George - confident and cuddly. First on your lap.
Alfie - very confident and cheeky. Second on your lap

Polly - small, sweet and talkative

Tilly - mummy's girl but becoming confident.

Phoebe - still a kitten herself and loves cuddles - and playing

Even though we all love being in our foster home and our foster Mum loves us, it is time to spread our wings and find our forever home. Wouldn't it be lovely if we were settled by Christmas?'

Please read our separate post with regard to adoptions during the festive season which we will post shortly. EVERYTHING WE DO IS ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE CATS AND KITTENS WHO COME TO US OF COURSE.

SNEAK PEEK of two lovable kittens - Nula and Peanut - one male, one female who could go separately if there was a suitable cat in the home for them to bond with but how amazing it would be if they could stay together!

Can you help to make that happen please?

Both have had health checks and first vaccinations but need to return to our vets for neutering , chipping and 2nd vaccinations- included in the adoption cost
