Hi everyone!

Our recent auction raised £499 and our recent razzle raised £350 - we're very grateful for this influx of donations as we were able to distribute the money among all of our ongoing fundraisers and it has made a huge difference.

Bobby the Bulldog is supper happy at home, having been discharged from the Guildford clinic one day after his very delicate tumour removal procedure. He is recovering very well, despite having misplaced his pantaloons somewhere along the way 😂 We're actively fundraising to pay off the amazing loans we've been offered to make this life saving surgery happen: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bobby-help-with-medical-bills

Freya's fundraiser might be fresh on your mind as we only shared it yesterday and we already have AMAZING news to share: one of our incredible volunteers generously offered us a loan with all her love so we could put the money forward and relieve little Freya of pain. Freya's owner was literally speechless at the news and her voice trembled with happiness and relief. We are once again overwhelmed with so much love and trust shown towards the work we do. Under no circumstances were we looking for a loan (sadly) as our fundraising efforts have been solely focused on another costly medical case and our several foster cats who needed medical attention, but our wonderful volunteer let us know just how much she loved the fact that we help so many animals, the loan was available so we wholeheartedly welcomed the opportunity following a team discussion. The vet team is currently working on getting the necessary specialist equipment brought to the clinic and then will offer a surgery date. We will keep you all updated: https://www.gofundme.com/f/freya-help-with-medical-bills

Frankie is doing so well in foster care - his abscess has healed beautifully, I can't imagine just how painful that wound was considering the end result. He's settled in incredibly well with his foster family, loves snoozing on laps and drinking water with his paw, like a gentleman 😂 Due to his age (16), health conditions (early stage kidney failure, grade 2 heart murmur) and costly vet-recommended diet, it is unlikely we would be able to find him a forever home, however we're overjoyed that his foster family is more than happy to look after him long term. Huge thanks to Frankie's sponsors who help us buy his food monthly.

The auction money also helped grant forever peace and comfort to the sweet Princess Misty-Moo who bravely fought the merciless cancer with all her might. Her devastated owners loved her to the moon and back and are deeply grateful for the support that allowed them to say goodbye with dignity and utmost love. ❤️

We bring their thanks to all of you - without your fundraising efforts, we wouldn't be able to do this. To everyone who supports the charity work we do - YOU are helping people and their beloved pets at every stage of their life and we cannot thank you enough. These stories only happen thanks to your kindness. ❤️

Hi everyone! ❤️

Tesa's Rescue has been made aware of a poorly dog - Freya, a very sweet girl who is extremely loved by her adoring owner. Sadly Freya broke her wrist recently and is now unable to put any weight on it; she's no longer her usual happy self and it's heart breaking to see. After an X-ray, the vet confirmed that Freya needs an urgent surgery to insert a 2mm plate, quoted at £2,700 - £3,000 . Her owner has spent all her savings on X-ray + medication and the medical procedure cost is far beyond her reach. She hasn't given up one bit - she launched her own fundraiser to try and get the money together so she can book Freya's surgery ASAP.

We would ABSOLUTELY love to contribute at least £300 for this case, but with several appointments/procedures already booked for our senior foster cats requiring medical care and another costly tumour removal case we're still paying off, we simply don't have the funds available. So here we are kindly asking for your help - if you'd like to make a small contribution for this sweet girl please do so with confidence, we deposit the money directly into the account set up at the vet clinic so it can be used for little Freya's wrist correction procedure ❤️

Thank you so much for reading and please share this fundraiser if you can ❤️ https://www.gofundme.com/f/freya-help-with-medical-bills ❤️

A little update on our beautiful foster kitty, 10 year old Skinny Minnie 🥰

A little while ago, Minnie visited the vet for his routine parasite treatment and vaccinations. During the check up, the vet examined his teeth and found significant tartar build up, gum inflammation and a few teeth that needed extraction. We scheduled a dental procedure for February 5th, but before proceeding, the vet ran blood tests to check his thyroxine levels. Unfortunately, the results came back at 103, an extremely high level. This led to further investigation and sadly the vet discovered a thyroid tumour. As a result, the dental procedure was postponed and Minnie’s oral medication has been increased. He will return to the vet in about two weeks for another blood test. If his thyroxine levels stabilise, the plan is to proceed with a surgical thyroidectomy and the necessary dental extractions to relieve him from discomfort.

This was unexpected and very difficult news to receive, but at least we now know what’s going on and can take action to help him.

The estimated cost for this procedure is £1,500 altogether; we’ve updated his fundraiser to reflect his previous vet visit . If you’d like to contribute, no matter the amount ❤️ , we would be incredibly grateful for your support. ( https://www.gofundme.com/f/skinny-minnie-help-with-medical-bills-rehoming )

Thank you all for your kindness and care for Minnie! 💙💙💙

We're wishing all the best to Bobby for his surgery tomorrow. It's quite the drive and he must present at the vet clinic in Guildford at 8am! 😊

If you missed the medical details, here they are: Tesa's Rescue has kindly been asked to assist an 8 year old extraordinarily affectionate Bulldog as he had developed a painful growth on his back leg. The local vets determined the burst tumour had to be dealt with but, due to its size and location, they did not possess the equipment needed for such a delicate surgery, therefore they put him on painkillers and referred him to a specialist clinic in Guildford. The veterinary team concluded that removal surgery was indeed possible and it would also offer Bobby a fantastic quality of life, so totally worth proceeding with this operation. The only problem was the cost: roughly £3,710 !! Thankfully, 2 amazing volunteers offered us 2 separate loans so we could make this surgery happen by putting the money forward. Here we are - tomorrow's the big day. ❤

Bobby's owner is grateful beyond words for all the help received for her beloved family member; facing such a steep cost for a life-saving procedure can be overwhelming for anyone. We are also grateful beyond words that our supporters appreciate our work so much and trust that we would pay everything back. And the beneficiary of all our love combined will always be the precious soul we're all trying to help: Bobby. We will keep you updated with his recovery.

Meanwhile - if you'd like to contribute with a small donation, here we have his fundraiser: https://gofund.me/af47ca6b

❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤

WE'VE DONE IT! 😍

Entirely thanks to your help, we've completed Charlotte and Frankie's sponsorship scheme. 6 incredibly special people came forward to donate much needed (recurring) funds ensuring our 2 amazing senior cats are fully supported with the best care while they are in foster with us.

Both Charlotte and Frankie require special diets due to their health conditions, also Charlotte needs regular steroid injections for the same reason. The costs add up rapidly for a small charity like ours, but now we can breathe a sigh of relief as we don't have to worry at all about any future food/injection bills.

We cannot put into words just how much this helps us and just how much this means to us. 😊 Thank you a million times 🥰🥰🥰

Hi everyone! ☀

Our recent auction raised £570 - all thanks to the efforts of our wonderful volunteers and supporters ❤️

Our adorable foster cat Frankie gained another lovely sponsor since our last appeal. If you missed his story here it is - Frankie, a 16 year old cat, was heartbreakingly surrendered at a local vet clinic by a family member who no longer wanted him; when the clinic contacted the number linked to his microchip, the response was the same - no one in the family wanted him back 💔 The vet team reached out to Tesa’s Rescue and without hesitation we welcomed Frankie into our care. He arrived in an extremely emaciated state, suffering from a horrible facial abscess and was later diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur and early stage kidney failure. Antibiotics healed the abscess beautifully, the heart medication stabilised his condition and today he is thriving in foster care - Frankie is the sweetest friendliest most adorable and loving little soul, we adore him beyond words. To keep him as happy as possible, Frankie requires a special kidney-supportive diet, which comes at quite the cost - so we came up with a sponsorship scheme to help with this - 6 generous people to donate £10 every 4 weeks would ensure we could purchase Frankie's food without delay. So far we've found 4 out of 6 lovely sponsors and we need 2 more 🥰 We are incredibly grateful for these special people - just look at the heartfelt messages they send us! If you're interested in helping Frankie by contributing towards his monthly food, please let us know!

Bobby the Bulldog's tumour removal surgery is just around the corner - 4 February - it's a very delicate procedure that can only be done in a specialised clinic. We've taken loans from 2 different amazing volunteers to make this surgery happen and we are actively fundraising to pay all the money back. This procedure will save Bobby's life and will offer him a fabulous quality of life. ❤️🐶

We've booked Skinny Minnie's dental procedure for 5 February - he will have his teeth cleaned + gums relieved of discomfort, some of his teeth will be extracted and hopefully he will feel so much better. ❤️🐈

We're also going to release our Valentine's razzle on 5 February; our team has been working hard behind the scenes to get some lovely prizes ready for you. 🎁

As always - thank you for the never ending support, we hope you're enjoying the amazing sunshine we're having right now. ☀

🐈 Charlotte & Frankie update 🐈

Following our recent appeal for sponsors to help our two amazing senior foster cats, Charlotte and Frankie, we have wonderful news.

🧡 An incredible soul, who wishes to remain anonymous, has generously offered to FULLY sponsor Charlotte! The £200 donation every 6 weeks will cover her special diet and regular vet visits for her steroid injections. Completely unexpected but extremely welcome surprise, huge relief for us, we are so thankful!

🖤 Three fantastic souls - Romaine Fulton-hart, Petunia Poppett and Naomi Hitchman - have also expressed their interest to help handsome Frankie, we are so grateful for their kind hearts. We’re still looking for 3 more lovely people to donate £10 every 4 weeks to help cover his special kidney function support diet (see previous post for more details). By the way - look how much fun Frankie's having in his foster home! 😂

As always - thank you so much to all of you for your never ending efforts to be there for animals in need. Only thanks to you, Tesa's Rescue is able to continue making a wonderful difference for the little souls who have nobody. Never in a million years did we think this would be possible - yet here we are going strong! ❤️❤️❤️

🐈 SPONSORS NEEDED FOR CHARLOTTE & FRANKIE 🐈

We welcomed two incredibly adorable senior cats, Charlotte and Frankie, into our rescue. Both require ongoing medical care and special diets to ensure their happiness and comfort. We’re thinking a sponsorship scheme will greatly help us cover their care costs while they’re in foster.

🧡 CHARLOTTE, 12 years old
She endured a severe flea infestation that caused baldness and significant skin damage. Thanks to her amazing foster family and amazing vet, she’s made fantastic progress. However, to stay comfortable, she requires:
🍣 Hair & skin wet food pouches
💉 Steroid injections
This combo prevents painful scratching and biting of the skin that would definitely cause further damage and distress. Her ongoing care costs total £200 every 6 weeks.
💸 We’re looking for 10 lovely sponsors to donate £20 each every 6 weeks.
---- (midnight :D ) UPDATE ON CHARLOTTE'S SPONSORSHIP: fully covered by an anonymous wonderful soul - thank you everyone so much - sponsors no longer needed for this girly.

🖤 FRANKIE, 16 years old
This handsome boy suffers with kidney troubles and heart disease. His heart medication is manageable, but aside from that he requires:
🍣 Urinary care wet food pouches
His food supply totals £60 every 4 weeks.
💸 We’re looking for 6 lovely sponsors to donate £10 each every 4 weeks.
---- (midnight :D ) UPDATE ON FRANKIE'S SPONSORSHIP:
1. Romaine Fulton-hart
2. Petunia Poppett
3. Naomi Hitchman
4.
5.
6.

❤ Please mention CHARLOTTE or FRANKIE in the payment reference box

Every donation makes a huge difference 😊 Let us know which cat you’d like to support and how much you’d like to donate, we’ll update our thermometer chart to reflect the sponsorship scheme progress.

Thank you so much for helping us give Charlotte and Frankie the happy, healthy and comfortable lives they absolutely deserve. They've been through so much, no animal should ever suffer the way they have; we adore them and we're determined to look after them for as long as needed. We can only do this together with you all ❤

Hi everyone!

Look what we've got: 1211761 😁 It is our charity number yay! 🥳❤ It will soon show up next to our name on Facebook.

Our current auction is running smoothly and our team is getting a Valentine's razzle ready for you with all sorts of lovely prizes, we can't wait to share it with you in a couple of weeks!

Here are some updates on our foster cats:
- Charlotte (12 years old cat): she received her monthly food order and visited the vet today for her regular steroids injection - this is the only thing which seems to keep her itchiness and discomfort at bay. Her fundraiser has been updated to reflect these recent costs: https://gofund.me/85445805

- Frankie (16 years old cat): despite his health challenges, including kidney + heart disease and a facial wound, Frankie is doing wonderfully in foster care. He is an absolute sweetheart and we know he's feeling better because he's started being fussy about his vet-recommended food! 😂 We’ve purchased a few options to find his preferred diet. His facial abscess is healing nicely and he’ll visit the vet soon for a check up. His fundraiser has also been updated: https://gofund.me/e7ea96d7

- Skinny Minnie (10 years old cat): he had a vet check up today, he’s gained 300g and his heart rate is stable. While his hyperthyroidism medication has greatly improved his condition, we've discovered some dental issues that need addressing (bleeding gums, tartar build up, 4 teeth which need extracting). We’ll schedule the dental procedure ASAP. On a brighter note, Minnie may have found his forever home! We’re conducting the usual checks and will update you with the official news soon. ❤️

As you all know, Tesa's Rescue aims to help people on low income should they need assistance with emergency / life saving procedures for their pets, preventing these animals from suffering unnecessarily or facing the risk of being surrendered to a shelter; shelters and rescues are already full to the brim. Our mission is to keep animals where they belong - with the families who love them. Now that we've taken on these 3 adorable senior cats, we are responsible for their happiness and welfare; they've all come into rescue with their own respective health conditions which require vet visits, lifelong medication or costly special diets. Our funds are significantly drained supporting these wonderful little souls, leaving very little to no funds for our vet bills assistance scheme. To help with this, we're thinking of creating a sponsorship scheme for our foster cats, mainly Charlotte and Frankie as Skinny Minnie may be adopted soon. We'll post more detailed information about this in the next few days.

Meanwhile - thank you so much, as ever, for being here with us! Lots of hugs ❤

❤️ Senior tortie looking for her forever home ❤️

Meet Sharlie, a friendly and loving senior cat, estimated to be 12 years old. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for parasites.

Sharlie’s journey has been far from easy. While we won’t delve into the details out of respect for her sensitive past, she came into rescue in a heart breaking condition - severely emaciated, infested with fleas and covered in painful bloody scabs due to her skin being so badly affected. Thanks to dedicated care and a loving foster home, Sharlie has made an incredible recovery both physically and emotionally. However, her early hardships have left her with some lasting challenges. She experiences ongoing skin issues stemming from the flea infestation and requires extra care to keep her comfortable and happy: a special diet; regular parasite treatments; regular steroids injections to manage her flare ups; soothing creams to calm her skin irritation. This cocktail of care keeps Sharlie in good spirits and prevents her from injuring herself by tearing at her skin.

Sharlie is a classic tortie with the signature sass and charm we all adore! While she may take a little time to warm up to new people, once she trusts you, her loving side truly shines. She enjoys playing with her toys, lounging under blankets well into the morning and surveying her surroundings from high perches. She’s perfectly litterbox trained. Although she’s an independent soul, she doesn’t mind being handled once she feels secure. She currently lives in Hastings but we will consider homes anywhere within the UK.

IDEAL FOREVER HOME:
✔️ quiet, responsible household
✔️ she could live with other calm cats OR as an only cat
✔️ indoors home OR access to an enclosed catio

HOME CHECK + ADOPTION FEE APPLY.

If you think you're the perfect owner for this lovely girl, please email us at [email protected] with a paragraph about your circumstances and the reason why you think you would be a good match to adopt Sharlie. We will only reply to serious, suitable applications.

Thank you for reading and please spread the word about this beautiful soul!

Hello! 👋

We would like to share an update on Frankie - the wonderful 16 year old cat who was surrendered to the local vets yesterday by his owners as they could no longer look after him. We received a call in the hope that we could help him and we said yes in a heartbeat.

Frankie is severely underweight and arrived at the clinic with a horrible big abscess on his face. Despite feeling rough, his sweet and friendly personality shone through and made everyone fall in love with him ❤ He received antibiotics and parasite treatment. Following blood tests and a heart scan, it was determined that Frankie is in early stage of kidney failure and also suffers with grade 2 heart murmur. He will require special renal diet as well as lifelong medication to help with his heart disease, but sadly this might also affect his kidneys - to aid kidney function, he may need monthly fluids at the vets.

We accumulated a vet bill of £400 so far - the vet clinic has been extremely generous and has already discounted our bill hugely, for this we are incredibly grateful. ❤

For the moment - we will make sure to improve Frankie's general condition, help him gain some weight and allow him to relax in his amazing foster home. Within minutes of being welcomed in a new environment, he wasted no time and fell in love with his foster dad! 😂 💘

We adore Frankie beyond words and we will do everything we can to ensure he's happy and comfortable, while also keeping in mind his quality of life. We are unsure how it was possible for Frankie to end up in this state, with a painful wound to his face and 2 serious illnesses, but now it is time to change his life for the better. ❤

If you would like to help with a small contribution for his medical bills + special diet, please use this link (https://gofund.me/e7ea96d7) or our usual accounts, mentioning "Frankie" : PAYPAL [email protected] ; ONLINE BANKING Tesa's Rescue 30-98-97 76576962

Hi everyone!

We’re so happy to share that our recent auction raised an incredible £588! 🥳 A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers, sellers + buyers who made this possible. ❤️

🐾 The spay/neuter campaign for Romanian stray + feral animals is in full swing, thanks to the dedication of kind hearted volunteers and skilled vets. Together they’re working tirelessly to fix as many animals as possible, giving these precious souls a better chance at life. This ongoing initiative is one we’re passionate about supporting for as long as we possibly can - https://gofund.me/091661f2

🐾 We’re counting down to February 4th, the date of Bulldog Bobby’s life-saving leg tumour removal surgery. This delicate procedure will give him a great quality of life, we’re so excited for him and incredibly grateful for your continued support : https://gofund.me/af47ca6b

🐾 Skinny Minnie is responding beautifully to his hyperthyroidism medication, which costs £77 (for a 100ml bottle + prescription) every 3 months. Thanks to the funds raised in the auction, we’ve been able to cover this bill. Minnie will also be vaccinated + microchipped soon and is now available for adoption. He’s a sweet special boy who deserves a loving home - please share his adoption advert: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=934351685541928&set=a.501885415455226 ❤️

🐾 Also available for adoption is this gorgeous bonded pair of cats: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=933050742338689&set=a.501885415455226 They’re a loving, friendly duo that would make a fantastic addition to the right family ❤️

🐾 Tonight we received an urgent call from the local vet clinic about a 16 year old cat named Frankie. He had been surrendered by his previous family who could no longer care for him. Frankie arrived at the clinic in rough shape, underweight with a large abscess on his face. Despite his condition, he is an absolute sweetheart, friendly and gentle with everyone. The vet team have treated him for parasites, started him on antibiotics and discovered he has a heart murmur. Frankie is spending the night at the clinic for monitoring, but we’re happy to share that within minutes of learning about him, we secured him a loving foster home. Tomorrow he’ll begin his new chapter in foster care, where he’ll be showered with affection and care. Frankie’s medical bills will undoubtedly add up, but we’re committed to giving him the comfortable, happy life he deserves: https://gofund.me/e7ea96d7 ❤️

Thank you so much for reading - sending lots of love and hugs from all of us at Tesa’s Rescue! 🐾

❤️ Senior cat looking for his forever home ❤️

Meet Skinny Minnie, a gentle and loving older cat, estimated to be 10 years old or even older. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for parasites.

He showed up on a lady's property in a very rough condition - hence the nickname. Once confirmed he had no owner, we took him on to offer medical assistance and rehoming support. Sadly he suffers with hyperthyroidism and must be on oral medication for life (which he happily takes). Since starting his medication, we can see he feels (and looks) much better.

Skinny Minnie thrives on love and companionship. Though deaf, he adores being talked to while you rub his paws, gazing at you with so much trust and tenderness. He has a unique love for chin scratches and head rubs (his little gremlin look will make you laugh!). He has brought nothing but joy to his foster mum. He loves cooked fish/chicken/salmon as well as wet/dry food. He really likes sitting atop the stairs to keep an eye on you – his little way of hanging out close to you but will never miss out on snuggling on the bed at night. He loves to play and use the cat scratcher.

Minnie uses the litterbox like a pro; he loves the comfort and warmth but equally he loves his outdoors adventures. He’s wonderfully interactive and easy to fall in love with.

Something to keep in mind: he does not do well with vet appointments and gets easily stressed. He currently lives in Hastings but we will consider homes anywhere within the UK.

IDEAL FOREVER HOME:
✔️ quiet, responsible home
✔️ he could live with a calm cat or a calm dog who won't chase
✔️ access to a safe outdoors space

HOME CHECK + ADOPTION FEE APPLY.

If you think you're the perfect owner for this lovely boy, please email us at [email protected] with a paragraph about your circumstances and the reason why you think you would be a good match to adopt Skinny Minnie. We will only reply to serious, suitable applications.

Thank you for reading and please spread the word about this beautiful soul!

🐾 Bonded pair looking for their forever home 🐾

Elsa (10 years old, Maine C**n) and Marley Bob (9 years old, Ragdoll) are two gorgeous cats with hearts full of affection and charm, ready to find their perfect forever home together. Both cats are in great health, spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, treated for internal + external parasites and currently enjoy a diet of wet food.

Elsa is very sweet but shy by nature and does not appreciate being picked up, she finds comfort in Marley Bob's extremely affectionate and friendly personality. They hang out together, rub noses and are very happy in each other's company. They've always had access to a woodland area via a cat flap.

IDEAL FOREVER HOME:
✔ a quiet home with responsible loving owners (older children preferred)
✔ access to a safe outdoor area like a neighbourhood close or woodland
✔ could live with a calm, cat-savvy dog who won't chase or overwhelm them

Elsa and Marley Bob live in Heathfield, but we’re open to applications from anywhere in the UK to ensure they find the perfect home. They’re looking for a new chapter through no fault of their own - just a family to love them as much as they’ll love you.

HOME CHECK + ADOPTION FEE APPLY.

If you think you're the perfect owner for this wonderful pair of cats, please email us at [email protected] with a paragraph about your circumstances and the reason why you think you would be a good match to adopt Elsa and Marley Bob. We will only reply to serious, suitable applications.

Hi everyone! 👋

Our first auction of 2025 is in full swing and we’re happy to be back fundraising for our wonderful not-for-profit cause which aims to help as many animals as possible, in any way we are capable of ❤

🎄 Thanks to our Christmas Market, razzle and our lovely Penny’s festive jumper sale, we’ve had a huge boost in funds! A special thank you to Little Dale Dogs Daycare Centre too for their annual £285 donation raised by their awesome clients - we are overwhelmed beyond words with the support shown to Tesa's Rescue.

We distributed these donations between our fundraisers which needed support and as a result we:
🐾 fully repaid the loan for Lola’s emergency TECA surgery
🐱 covered all medical and dietary expenses for foster cat Charlotte
🌈 offered 15 year old Marley the bravest most adorable Staffie a peaceful and dignified farewell due to medical reasons
✂️ funded 8 spay/neuter surgeries for stray animals in Romania (5 dogs, 3 cats), transforming their lives for the better forever
🐶 allocated the remaining funds to Bobby the Bulldog’s upcoming surgery to remove a leg tumour

The spay/neuter campaign for stray/feral animals in Romania continues throughout January - £36 helps 1 animal get spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for internal + external parasites and treated for any injuries they may present. A small amount with a HUGE positive impact.

Bobby’s delicate tumour removal surgery is scheduled for 4 Feb. We’re fundraising actively to cover the cost and are grateful to our 2 amazing volunteers who’ve offered loans to ensure this life saving procedure happens. ❤️

As a little side project, we helped rehome gorgeous tabby cat Luna!

None of this would be possible without YOU. Thank you so much for your unwavering kindness ❤️❤️❤️

06/01/2025

Hello everyone! 👋

ARE YOU ABLE TO FOSTER BOTH OR ONE OF THESE CATS PLEASE?

We've kindly been asked to help with Elsa (7yo, female) and Marley (6yo, male) who need a peaceful, loving foster home ASAP. They are both spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for worms, microchipped, in great health. They are located in Heathfield (36 mins drive) but we can transport them. They live together and it would be nice to keep them as such but can be separated with no problems.

Tesa's Rescue will help rehome them if you can help with foster care! 🥰

02/01/2025

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
We hope you all had a fantastic start to 2025. We'd love to share an update on Skinny Minnie, the stray black cat we posted about a few days ago.

Skinny Minnie isn’t microchipped and vets estimate he’s around 10 years old or older. During his consultation, his stress levels were through the roof so the vets decided to sedate him to safely run blood tests and trim his overgrown nails. The bloodwork revealed Minnie has hyperthyroidism which explains his excessive thirst and frail, skinny appearance. He’s now on lifelong oral medication and today he received his first dose! We’re hopeful that with treatment Minnie will soon feel better and gain weight ❤️

Looking ahead, we plan to microchip + vaccinate + treat Minnie for parasites (he’s due for a repeat soon). To make his next vet visit less stressful, he’ll take a mild sedative tablet before the journey. After giving him a couple of weeks to relax and adjust to his meds, we’ll re-evaluate his health. Once he’s stable, our mission is to find him the most loving forever home on the planet!

Here’s where we’re truly blown away: your kindness has been overwhelming. After our appeal so many of you stepped up to help Minnie: from offering lifts to the vet and delivering meds to donating toward his vet bills - your generosity has been nothing short of incredible. One kind soul even covered the remaining costs we hadn’t yet fundraised for! Thanks to you, the £490 medical bill is fully paid - and there are no outstanding costs at the moment. The vet team even emailed us to share how much they appreciate our prompt payments, which wouldn’t have been possible without this amazing community. 💖

Witnessing your compassion, teamwork and love for a sick senior cat has left us truly speechless. Skinny Minnie’s life is forever changed thanks to you all - and for that we send our deepest gratitude and warmest hugs. 🐾 ❤️

🐈 Charlotte & Frankie update 🐈 Following our recent appeal for sponsors to help our two amazing senior foster cats, Charlotte and Frankie, we have wonderful news. 🧡 An incredible soul, who wishes to remain anonymous, has generously offered to FULLY sponsor Charlotte! The £200 donation every 6 weeks will cover her special diet and regular vet visits for her steroid injections. Completely unexpected but extremely welcome surprise, huge relief for us, we are so thankful! 🖤 Three fantastic souls - Romaine Fulton-hart, Petunia Poppett and Naomi Hitchman - have also expressed their interest to help handsome Frankie, we are so grateful for their kind hearts. We’re still looking for 3 more lovely people to donate £10 every 4 weeks to help cover his special kidney function support diet (see previous post for more details). By the way - look how much fun Frankie's having in his foster home! 😂 As always - thank you so much to all of you for your never ending efforts to be there for animals in need. Only thanks to you, Tesa's Rescue is able to continue making a wonderful difference for the little souls who have nobody. Never in a million years did we think this would be possible - yet here we are going strong! ❤️❤️❤️

I just have to share how happy Blue is these days. ❤ His owner says he’s more playful, comfortable and full of life than ever - it’s an incredible transformation. Seeing him thrive has been a joy for her as well; she’s absolutely glowing with happiness as Blue blossoms into a cheerful, silly kitten at 13 years old! You might remember Blue from our earlier posts. His kind owner had been struggling financially and didn’t know where to turn when her beloved senior cat began to show signs of illness, such as rapid weight loss, a declining appetite and excessive thirst. She paid for as many treatments as she could, hoping to improve his condition, but her savings ran out quickly. That’s when Tesa's Rescue stepped in to help, covering the cost of tests that led to a heart breaking diagnosis: Blue had diabetes and would need lifelong insulin injections. Things took a turn for the worse shortly after his diagnosis. Blue’s glucose levels skyrocketed, his heart rate surged and he was at risk of slipping into a coma. He was rushed to the emergency vet for life-saving treatment; the staff couldn’t stop praising him for being such a sweet boy. ❤ The next day, he was admitted to a day clinic for IV fluids and further tests which suggested a kidney infection. Blue went home with antibiotics and his diabetes medication was adjusted. Since February, Blue has been seeing the vet regularly to monitor his progress. Slowly but surely, he started gaining weight, his fur became shiny and fluffy again and he is now feeling better than ever. He’s finally able to enjoy a wonderful life with his adoring owner, who is deeply grateful that we helped save her best friend. This story is a beautiful reminder of how your support and contributions truly save lives and lift burdens from the shoulders of pet owners, creating happy endings for families like Blue's. 🥰🥰🥰

About Us

Tesa’s Rescue is a small team of volunteers who work tirelessly to provide rescue animals with a safe present and a bright future.

Tesa is my very own dog, the reason why the charity has started and the reason why it will go on forever. I found her on the harsh streets, running aimlessly, she was very skinny, had fur loss all over her body, her stomach had shrunk and she had broken teeth. We wanted to train her before finding her a forever home as she was unadoptable due to her behaviour issues. Little did we know we'd fall in love with her irrevocably! She teaches foster dogs how to love life, making amazing first impressions to anybody who might be interested in our work and making my life THE BEST with her sheer presence

We now foster cats and dogs, socialise them, train the dogs so that they become adoptable and watch them blossom in their forever homes!

We help cats and dogs from the UK, Romania, Cyprus -or wherever they might need assistance! We do our best to find them excellent homes and see them happy!
