❤️ URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED PLEASE ❤️

Gus - 2 yo male, a little timid but friendly towards people, cats, dogs. Not treated for fleas or worms, not vaccinated, microchipped or neutered. (We can sort all this BEFORE his arrival into foster care)

He would need a spare room for a while to decompress and get comfortable with his new environment then slow gentle introductions to resident pets will be OK.

As always, Tesa's Rescue is more than happy to support the foster home with basic and enrichment items for the foster cats, from food + litter to toys + scratchers. We just need to find a lovely foster placement for this handsome boy.

Please share and do let us know if you're able to assist in any way! ❤️

Hi everyone!

WE'VE GOT A NEW BANK ACCOUNT AND IT IS READY TO RECEIVE DONATIONS 💸
(the boring reason why at the bottom of this post ❤️)

Our PayPal account remains the same!

Please ensure you DELETE our old bank details (the ones you're currently using to send donations) as our account will automatically close on 1 September 2025.

✅✅✅
These are our new details
Name of charity account: Tesa's Rescue
Sort code: 30-54-66
Account number 50752060

❌❌❌
Please ensure you no longer send donations to this bank account
Name of community account: Tesa's Rescue
Sort code: 30-98-97
Account number: 76576962

Back when Tesa's Rescue became an entity, we registered it as a not for profit limited company via Companies House as we intended to stay small. Lloyds Bank offered us a "community" bank account. However, when we began receiving more and more donations - from a legal standpoint - we had to become a charity and register with the Charity Commission. The bank got notified of this change and contacted us to say we could no longer use the community bank account, we needed a charity bank account. We applied, we were successful, therefore our community bank account (the one we've been using so far) will close on its own very soon, so we can start using the new charity account from now on ❤️ We now have access to online banking and all seems to work just as before ❤️

We will still be able to access our old bank account until 1 Sept and can transfer any donations that may have ended up there over to the new account. However from September onwards you must ensure you've updated our details. ❤️

Thank you all so much, so sorry to give you extra work! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone! ❤️

We have been kindly asked to help 1 feral mummy cat and her very tiny babies (2 boys, 2 girls). The angel on earth who got in touch with us has been feeding, spaying and looking after the welfare of a colony of homeless cats, while nobody else paid mind to the problem; understandably, this situation can be overwhelming and financially exhausting but this wonderful lady is determined to help these cats with our assistance ❤️ Mummy cat Millie has been offered a place within her family and we promised we would rehome the 4 babies responsibly when they are old enough (at the moment they're only 3 weeks old).

Thankfully, beautiful Millie and her gorgeous kittens are safe indoors; Millie has stopped hissing and growling at her loving rescuer and she now allows her to touch/handle her babies without any objections. Recently, the kittens visited the vet as their eyes looked really crusty all of a sudden - several applications of eye ointment per day seemed to sort the situation out but there are slight concerns that either the calicivirus or herpes could have been passed onto the kittens from mum. Millie is not exactly happy to be handled so as soon as her loving carer manages to gently secure her in the carrier to attend a vet appointment we will receive more answers on this matter.

Millie is a fabulous mum to her babies and the whole family gets a lot of love and care in their current placement ❤️ It's so amazing seeing people appreciate ferals so much. We would love to get the babies ready for adoption and cover all their parasite treatments, vaccinations, microchips and spay + neuter surgeries. We would love to do the same with mum as a thank-you to her wonderful rescuer for everything she does for the local homeless cats. Furthermore, we would love to help with litter and food in the near future as the 4 babies start eating and toileting on their own, costs can really skyrocket.

We've started this fundraiser to help with the costs of this lovely family's care until adoption ❤️ --- https://www.gofundme.com/f/millie-and-4-babies-help-with-vet-costs-rehoming ---

Hello everyone!

We have a very beautiful girl available for adoption called Indigo. She is 1 year old, spayed, microchipped, treated for parasites and vaccinated. She is currently in foster care in St Leonards (East Sussex).

Indigo is a very sweet-natured and affectionate cat, but really timid in the presence of new people. She will gain confidence slowly if her new owner is willing to offer her loads of space so she can come out of her shell at her own pace. She uses her litterbox and scratchers very well. Little gorgeous Indigo would be a fabulous addition to a family who can be patient as well as loving towards her.

INDIGO'S IDEAL FOREVER HOME:
- adult household (teenagers ok)
- patient, understanding, committed owners
- indoors home only please (enclosed catio is absolutely fine)
- Indigo can live with other cats (and would benefit from being around other cats!), but no dogs please

ADOPTION FEE + ADOPTION CONTRACT + HOME CHECK APPLY. If you would like to adopt Indigo, please send us a message with a paragraph including details about yourself as well as why you think she would be a perfect companion for you. PLEASE KNOW WE WILL ONLY REPLY TO SUITABLE, SERIOUS APPLICATIONS. Thank you for reading. ❤️

Wishing a very warm welcome to our new foster cat, handsome Blaze - he had been scheduled to come into rescue since July and due to the sensitive nature of this case, we cannot share the full story. Tesa's Rescue has been kindly asked to help rehome him by his very loving family ❤️

We have found him an AMAZING foster home ready to welcome this lovely boy and offer him all the cuddles and love in the world; he's only arrived yesterday but already he's become a purr machine and looks very comfortable in his new environment. Soon he will be available for adoption ❤️

Meanwhile, we've started this fundraiser to help with the costs of his care: https://www.gofundme.com/f/blaze-help-with-foster-care-rehoming

Hi everyone! ❤️

Yesterday we welcomed 2 more beautiful cats in foster care: mum Maisie and daughter Indigo, both so precious and sweet, within several minutes they made themselves comfortable in their new environment, to their foster mum's delight. Tesa's Rescue has been kindly asked to help rehome them as sadly their owner was unable to keep them any longer, she tried repeatedly to rehome them through other rescues but the reality hits every single time... everywhere is FULL and Maisie and Indigo had a deadline.

Thankfully, we had an AMAZING foster home available (literally our last foster placement!) who could offer them all the cuddles and love in the world; although Indigo is timid, Maisie is very friendly ❤️

Our plan is to allow this beautiful family to settle in, then book a vet check up to make sure they're up to date with their parasite treatment, vaccinations and schedule Indigo's spay surgery. Once we establish that these girls are healthy and ready to be adopted, we'll start promoting them so if you're looking for a pair of adorable cats or one adorable cat, please keep us in mind!

❤️ CATS IN NEED OF HELP AT THE MOMENT ❤️

Picture 1 - LOTTIE + HER SOON TO BE BORN BABIES (as she is a feral cat, Lottie would need a spare room in a quiet environment, her foster carer must understand not to pressure her for interactions and to give her space and time to adjust)

Picture 2 - BLACK AND WHITE STRAY MALE (looking so tired poor little soul, fed by a kind person, needs a spare room to decompress then he could be allowed the free roam of the house)

Picture 3 - CASANOVA (look at those huge paws!!!!!!!! stray male, fed by a kind person, needs a spare room to decompress then he could be allowed the free roam of the house)

Tesa's Rescue will gladly cover all expenses involved in these cats' care, we just need loving foster homes to care for these abandoned little souls. The two males will be neutered + treated for parasites BEFORE going into foster. We will do our best to rehome everyone in due time. We are more than happy to offer more details on our fostering process should anybody be interested.

Please do let us know if you can help any of them, thank you so much ❤️
