Tesa's Rescue

Hi all! 🤗

Tesa's Rescue looks after 5 wonderful permanent foster cats: Frankie, AJ, Jess, Charlotte and Skinny Minnie. They all have really upsetting sensitive stories but now they are all safe, extremely loved and very well looked after. Sadly they do not make good candidates for adoption due to their advanced ages, health conditions, lifelong illnesses and huge risk of costly veterinary bills throughout their lives. These beautiful souls will stay with Tesa's Rescue and their loving foster families forever, but we've created a sponsorship scheme to help with their ongoing costs so that we can continue helping more animals, without the worry of a continuous dent in our finances. 🥰

We can afford their some of their medicine expenses, treatments and other necessary medical procedures (surgeries, checks, emergency interventions) but we would REALLY appreciate some help with their food (some costly special diets, some normal diets) and their litter.

Thankfully, Frankie and AJ are now fully sponsored!

JESS - still needs 2 people to donate £10 monthly
CHARLOTTE - still needs 7 people to donate £10 6 weekly
SKINNY MINNIE - still needs 1 person to donate £10 monthly

If you are able to help with any of our AMAZING permanent foster cats we would be ever so grateful 🥰 Thank you so much! 🥰

One cat being adopted means we have a foster placement available for another one in need!

Please share on your social media if possible - there must be someone special out there for them! 🥰 Thank you! 🥰

Sienna and her babies - ALL ADOPTED! 😍

Sienna is now the centre of attention as she so deserves, Bubbles and Squeak have gone to a forever home together, Peanut and Pickles have also been adopted as a pair while baby Dumpling now lives a fabulous life with another cat and 2 doggies.

They are all doing so well and are extremely loved. Thank you SO VERY MUCH to each and every single one of you who donated for their medical expenses, food + litter while they were in foster care and thank you so much for spreading the word about them.

Yet another happy ending 😍😍😍

18 OCTOBER, SATURDAY, THIS WEEKEND!
Would anybody like to join Tesa's Rescue team for the Bonfire March? 😍

Our wonderful volunteers will be doing a bucket collection and we would love to have more volunteers join us if possible. Dressing up is optional, but if you do decide to wear something fancy - we are advised to avoid wearing highly flammable/fluffy outfits due to health/safety; we are also advised not to walk anywhere near the fire trucks.

The event starts at WHITE ROCK HOTEL - collection buckets will be issued between 5:45pm - 6:45pm to allow time to form up alongside the procession; it is recommended that our volunteers walk through the crowds/on the pavement. The walk will be loud and long (all along the sea front, round the old town, on the beach). Further information about the procession route can be found in programmes and on the HBBS page. Buckets are to be returned at the end of the firework display at WHITE ROCK HOTEL.

It should be great fun! Please do let us know if you'd like to join us, I will add you to a designated group chat - the organiser has told us to bring as many volunteers as we can! 😍

Hello everyone!

We have a gorgeous bonded pair of kittens available for adoption called Ebony and Bear. They are 11 weeks old now, have been treated for parasites and have been vaccinated. They are currently in foster care in St Leonards (East Sussex).

These 2 lovely babies come from a feral mum, who's done a wonderful job at raising them. Their foster carer has socialised Bear (orange tabby) and Ebony (brown tabby) since birth and they've turned into friendly little souls who love human attention and cuddles. They are very playful and extraordinarily adorable. Bear acts like the protective big brother to little Ebony, they always snuggle together and they love each other's company. They are both extremely sweet and purr all the time! They use the scratchers and litterbox very well.

THEIR IDEAL FOREVER HOME:
- adult household (teenagers OK)
- patient, understanding, committed owners
- indoors home preferable
- the kittens are OK with other cats and live with a dog

ADOPTION FEE + ADOPTION CONTRACT + HOME CHECK APPLY. We will touch on the spaying/neutering/microchipping topic. If you would like to adopt this lovely pair, please send us a message with a paragraph including details about yourself as well as why you think they would be the perfect companions for you. PLEASE KNOW WE WILL ONLY REPLY TO SUITABLE, SERIOUS APPLICATIONS. Thank you for reading. ❤️

Our beautiful Indigo is now adopted! 😍 We are so happy for her! ❤️

All the team effort lovingly poured into the fostering process (fundraising, vet trips, assessing behaviour, help with socialising), lengthy phone calls to establish compatibility, conducting thorough home checks, signing contracts and transferring adoption fees - everything pays off and blossoms into the most beautiful outcome: a rescue cat forever safe and always loved 😍

Wishing little Indigo and her new owner a wonderful life together ❤️

Hi all! 🤗

We need an old, broken shed removed from a property and taken to the tip. Measurements are roughly 9ft X 4 ft

Please would anyone with a van be able to help us out please? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Instead of the old shed we'd be looking to erect a fully enclosed cat pen which would help us temporarily house and spay/neuter feral cats until a longer term solution is found ❤️❤️❤️

Good evening!

We've made some more fantastic progress that we would like to share with you in regards to our sponsorship scheme for our permanent foster cats! 🥰 As mentioned in our previous appeals for help, we look after 5 wonderful cats who cannot be adopted due to their advanced ages, health conditions, illnesses and huge risk of costly veterinary bills throughout their lives. They will stay with Tesa's Rescue and their loving foster families forever, but we've created a sponsorship scheme to help with their ongoing costs so that we can continue helping more animals, without the worry of a continuous dent in our finances. 🥰

These gorgeous cats are Skinny Minnie, Frankie, AJ, Charlotte and Jess. Minnie, Frankie and AJ are all sorted and fully sponsored by wonderful people, so Charlotte + Jess are the only ones left to sort out!

Here we have the up to date sponsorship scheme:
- JESS - 7 out of 9 wonderful sponsors found
- CHARLOTTE - 3 out of 10 wonderful sponsors found

JESS - we need 2 more people to donate £10 per month for her special diet + litter; CHARLOTTE - we need 7 more people to donate £10 every 6 weeks for her special diet and steroids injection

If you are able to help with either Jess or Charlotte please let us know! From her adorable pirate ship, Charlotte says thank you to everyone who's offered so far! 🥰🥰🥰

How wonderful is this - our beautiful Mia enjoying some pets on her foster mum's lap ❤️

Shortly after her arrival with us, we noticed that Mia's skin was irritated, she had been over grooming potentially due to stress, causing a bloody wound on the back of her neck as well as some fur loss. On top of that, her foster mum spotted an ocular worm alive and wriggling at the corner of her eye. No wonder the poor little soul was hissing, lashing out and scratching!

Rushing a very stressed cat to the vet so soon after arrival in foster care was not ideal, but it was necessary - her beautiful cat cave bed went into the pet carrier with her, Mia was given a sedative with her breakfast prior to her appointment and it seemed to work as she was very cooperative during the vet check. Mia received an anti-inflammatory injection to help with her overall itchiness and a parasite treatment to get rid of the worm in her eye.

Since then, Mia has been very loving, sweet, craving human attention, she hasn't been scratching and we haven't noticed any redness or discomfort around her eyes, we haven't seen the worm either - all of these hopefully mean that we've sorted her medical issues out and Mia is feeling much more comfortable now ❤️❤️❤️

We have updated her fundraiser to reflect the new vet bill: https://www.gofundme.com/f/mia-help-with-foster-care-and-medical-bills
