Precious Paws Cat Rescue York

28/02/2025

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED - because yes we know the dog is adorable - but the three kittens we have in our care are all adorable too AND THE KITTENS ARE LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES

They have all now been neutered, chipped and fully vaccinated so don't have to remain in York but each kitten will need a suitable puss already in the home to bond with please unless they go with a sibling

Here is a link to their original post which gives more info about the 3 Musketeers or maybe that should be 3 Mouseketeers? https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0779DbvkZdKHxdo38NwtfFUgdQaDizy6SH2bkmiMVYBsRHUBaNhVewwkjAVAiPq4kl&id=100078896236361&__cft__[0]=AZUHhMqm2ahGDg7ZO7XQaMd24TOszVbCZBfZtlWT_coGWsGl0kvyM0OFOeb9hVz0A3LkxdXJfcHrKOwFwHQhMsDzYLQKRgEJMFsjbbCoV9RYqjKGB1EswVCgzMbn7imeVfPB-j4sbd4GXZLiVOQOB0kV9oy83S3uxqEfnRPzwKAZnHBCVjk37zO_V-POxv5B6Bg&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NO CRITICISM OF ANYONE - THIS IS INDEED A STRANGE SITUATION BUT AN HONEST MISTAKE.We are just trying to find out if this cat is missed by someone

WE WERE DELIBERATELY NOT POSTING PHOTOS OF THE CAT WITH US BECAUSE IF AN OWNER HAD A CAT MEETING HIS DESCRIPTION MISSING THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTACT US WITH VET RECORDS ETC. i.e. proof of ownership - however photos have now been put on this post and we have chosen to leave them. There are always good reasons behind the actions of good rescues.

We also offered space for the cat we were originally asked to help and in fact arranged a vet appointment for 5.15 pm yesterday after liaising with his owner, meaning that one of our team who was doing the intake had arranged to leave work early so she could get there in time - but then his owner advised us she had found a home for him with one of her old neighbours. We of course advised that the neighbour would need to get him chipped and vaccinated too and the owner was advising her of that.

A cat has been brought to us by the owner who signed him over to us after asking his vets to send his vet records to us. All perfectly normal procedure BUT now the owner has said she has given us the wrong cat.

The cat in our care is a fluffy tabby who came to us from the Dixon Gardens area of Selby. He is not chipped which is now a legal requirement. We have received information that the cat did belong to someone who moved away and who is no longer contactable but if not, if this cat belongs to you please get in touch within 7 days with irrefutable proof of ownership.

Do you have a cat missing meeting this description please? If so please contact us URGENTLY as we do not want a cat who has a loving home.

This cat does require some vet treatment.

Proof of ownership will be required please

SNEAK PEEK of this beautiful young lady who is still under assessment . She doesn’t want to share her home with other animals please . She will need outdoor access and is used to calm older children.

24/02/2025

When a cat comes into our care who has been much loved by her owner and given up due to circumstances outside her control, who we think will be really straightforward but then turns out to be extremely timid and shut down our hearts literally break. 💔

Such a cat is the very beautiful 7 year old Lola who is making progress but it’s slow going and this video is perhaps misleading because when she meets a special person who is prepared to be patient and wait for her to feel safe, that person will be so rewarded, but she won't react like this initially. It takes her a few weeks to feel safe.

This isn’t really an adoption post although by Friday she will have completed her course of vaccinations, she’s spayed and chipped but she will need a specific home which will need to be quiet and indoor only or with a catio. She will need adult only and no other pets but we know she will be worth it.

She has so much love to give to her human.

Last night she played in front of her foster mum for the first time which she said felt like winning the lottery.

This girl is so loved and we are taking things at her pace of course but if anyone does have the time, love and patience she needs please get in touch .

Please wish Lola well. We love her so much

INTRODUCING STORMY

Please read all about her and her requirements:-

‘Stormy is a beautiful and friendly cat, who loves to play! She is one years old and she has grown up with other cats, so she would love to have a friend to play with and chase around.

She can be slightly nervous with loud noises so children over 5 are preferred for her, and while she has been a house cat up until this point we think she would love to be outside. This would mean she needs a slow and careful introduction to the outdoors after she has fully settled, however a resident cat can usually help this process and show her the territory.

She would be fine as a house cat or with a cat proof garden, but again as long as she has a feline friend to keep her entertained.

Stormy loves a cuddle and especially loves her food and she will make an excellent companion for a loving home’

THIS IS AT TEA BY THE LOCK IN NABURN - here's the link to their website so you can take a peek https://www.teabythelock.co.uk/ and any enquiries need to be directed to them please, if you are looking for a table as it is an event organised by Tea By the Lock and not by us. Sorry if it was misleading initially.

Not long until we have a table here - if you haven't been before then try to come along especially if it's a nice day (fingers crossed for that!)

The cakes and other offerings inside the tea room are scrumptious and it's a really lovely, quirky place - and you can talk to us about cats of course! What else is there in life but cats and cake after all? :)

Maybe you are thinking of volunteering in 2025 - we would love to chat to you if so and we just like talking to cat lovers in any case.

UPDATE 23.2.25 ECLIPSE IS NOW RESERVED

INTRODUCING ECLIPSE.

Please read the write up from her fabulous foster mum:-

‘Eclipse came to us with a litter of kittens she has been a fabulous mum and now it’s her time to find a forever home.

She is wary of new people but once she trusts you she is the sweetest girl and recently taken to being a lap cat! She loves to lay on her foster mums knee and watch tv on an evening.

She is in foster with a little girl who is almost 2 years and when she is calm she loves to have strokes of her, she does retreat when she is louder so a home with children 5+ would be ideal who can give her space when she needs it.

She is also in foster with a dog who she likes but bosses him about regularly! so may be best with a small calm dog or as an only pet. It is unknown what shes like with cats.

She is wary of loud noises or if anything is different so would be best as a housecat or possibly could go outside after an extended period indoors and a rural area.

She is just fab please get in touch if you can give this beauty a home.’

28.2.25 IT'S TIME WE ADDED BEAUTIFUL STORMY TO THIS POST!

21.2.25

We think it is time we reminded you of some of the absolute beauties we have ready for adoption - there are many more waiting in the wings of course who we will advertise when we feel the time is right.

Firstly we have two big balls of fluff! - they each need a home of their very own with safe outdoor access once they have settled in and both of them would like to be the only pet in the home please. Please click on their photos to see their full posts. These are Matty and Milo.

And please don't forget our stunning kittens- Peaches, Crash and Buck (with Buck only having one eye so obviously we will be very careful where this special little man goes from a safety point of view).

We also have Tegan and Tilly who haven't yet been advertised but who are two little stunners of about 5 months old. (A full post will follow in the next few days)

Today is national love your pet day 😻. Show your pet some love and show us the photos !!!!

MILO is now looking for his forever home.

As you can see this boy is incredibly handsome but looks are not the.main thing of course. However he also has a lovely personality BUT the home we want for him is as follows please:-

1. The only pet in the home aa he has not lived with others
2. Outdoor access once fully settled but NOT near to busy roads
3. A relatively quiet home

Milo will be 5 in April. He is neutered, chipped and part way through his vaccinations so will need to return to our vet in York for his second. He also will need his coat brushed to keep it in tiptop condition

Milo cane to us from a lady who loved him very much but who was unable to keep him due to health issues. We promised her we would find him the right forever home which is what we try to do for every cat who comes into our care of course, hence the requirements listed above.

This is what his lovely foster mum has to say about him:-

‘Milo is a gorgeous big floofy boy with big paws, so very soft though, a gentle giant, he loves a light brush once he trusts you and he adores to roll over belly up for strokes in bed next to you. Favourite places for scratches are his belly, cheeks and chin‘

So please do message us if Milo may be for you. He is fostered in Selby.

19/02/2025

Just a reminder please that anyone interested in adopting needs to PLEASE MESSAGE US as a first step as comments are easy to miss. A home visit will then be arranged as soon as possible & priority for a particular cat or for kittens will be given to those who have had successful home visits already but only if they may be a potential match for a particular cat or kittens.

We adopt out cats based on THEIR REQUIREMENTS because we want happy cats and happy adopters and forever homes and the welfare of the cats will always come first.

Adoption is a commitment of up to 20 years for a young cat or for kittens.

SNEAK PEEK - coming soon

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS - some adorable kittens are here 🙂

A little bit of background first though - these kittens came into our care via a veterinary hospital where they had been for the first 3 weeks of their lives having apparently been found in a garden but no way were these feral kittens. It had helped that the lovely staff had been taking them home at night of course so they are sweet and sociable and in really good health but they have had cat flu in the past (very common indeed) which they were treated for and all are doing great. Of course cat flu can flare up at times of stress but there has been zero evidence of that happening and they are just lovely. The only long term effect of that has been that one poor little lad (Buck) had to have an eye removed which was done before they were signed over into our care and he's doing fine. However it does mean that we need to ensure he is homed appropriately to ensure he will always be safe."

Please read below about all their personalities (this info and additional photos will be added in a moment.). We are not expecting all 3 to go together but would like a pair and a single ideally (with the single likely to be the lovely little Buck who would benefit from being indoor only and who would love a friend to bond with).

They have had their health checks and started their vaccinations and been closely monitored - but will all need to return to our vets in York for their 2nd vaccinations and for neutering and chipping as soon as they are big enough which won't be too long.

As you can see from the write ups from their fabulous foster mum they are all used to a cat friendly dog too.

"What can a say about these 3 little cuties as they are all adorable but here is a bit of a summary of their characters likes/dislikes.
We have a labrador and all the kittens have settled in well with her. They mostly ignore her but do like to play with her wagging tail and they will all sit on the sofa together.

They have been exposed to noises of a busy households
e.g robot hoover, tv’s, radios, children and don't seemed concerned by these . They don’t like any sudden bangs or noises of course which is normal.

Buck

Buck is a big softy and will quite often come and sit on your lap or around your neck for cuddles and strokes. He’s a bit quieter in nature but will join in rough and tumble play with his siblings, other times he just likes to watch. He doesn’t like the feather on a stick or any other toys that move quickly off the ground, maybe due to not having good vision as he only has one eye however in all other aspects this doesn’t bother him. He prefers playing with balls and small soft toy on the ground. He can get quite defensive about his toys and food and gives out a little growl occasionally when the other 2 try to take them.

Peaches

Miss Peaches is coming out of her shell now she is getting used to us and enjoys playing with Crash with the feather on a stick and race around with both her siblings. She will sit on your lap, on her own terms, and once settled likes her tummy been rubbed. She isn’t too keen on been picked up and will wiggle a lot to escape. She loves her food and exploring into any small spaces! She also enjoys sitting on the windowsill and watching the birds with Crash and I am sure would love the outdoors.

Crash

As in his name he is the liveliest, most vocal and biggest of the 3. He will still come and sit with you for a cuddle and is very affectionate. He loves sitting and watching the birds and garden and would definitely benefit from been an outdoor cat. He is an explorer like Peaches"

UPDATE 1.3.25 OUR GORGEOUS BOBBIE IS NOW RESERVED :)

🩷💜🩷 BOBBIE 🩷💜🩷

As well as the one year old GANNET we would also like to introduce this beauty to you today who after she was posted on Missing Cats in York UK by a kind lady who was very concerned about , being scanned by us and lots of enquiries done by us , it transpired that the stories about her must have been true :( - which were that she once had a home and was loved but sadly her mum passed away and she was taken on by a neighbour but that neighbour moved home and left her behind. Kind people locally fed her and one lady we spoke to took her to a vet in July 2023 wheh she had a bite wound near the base of her tail and got treatment for her but, for some time, she doesn’t seem to have had a home of her home .

Indeed wheh we scanned her for a chip , her flea infestation was quite something! And she had some badly matted fur so really did need help . She will need an adopter who will commit to keeping on top of her beautiful fur please and she will need safe outdoor access once fully settled.

Despite all the above, what a sweet lady she is and here’s what her beautiful write up from her lovely foster mum:-

‘The beautiful Bobbie is an older lady who, after losing her owner and slipping through the fingers of those she thought were caring for her, fell on hard times. Her elegant, long, soft white coat developed some uncomfortable clumps, that the vet had to remove, and this gives her the air of a slightly dishevelled Miss Haversham wafting about the house!

Bobbie is sweet and loving - she isn't a lap cat, she doesn't seem to be able to get comfortable with lots of kneeding, turning, getting up and down etc, but she does love to be near her human. Her head butts could send a weaker person flying, so hang on to your seat because when she is drawing your attention to an empty food bowl, you'll know about it. Bobbie used her litter tray, with the decorum that you would expect from one her age, from the minute we got her.

Bobs is a purring machine with a meow that sounds liks she is calling 'Hello!' as she wanders the house. She wants nothing more in life than a warm bed, a comfortable home and someone who is going to love her. Bobbie is an older cat (we think about 12 years old) who would benefit from a quieter home where she can live out her days (and I have no doubt there will be many, this old lady is built of stronger stuff!) loving and being loved / adored in return. Her fur is long and so she will need to be brushed / combed regularly which she is more than happy for her adoring human to do as she sleeps!.’

As always please message us if you are interested in Bobbie
