Mushroom and Zucchini
Mushroom and Zucchini are as in love as ever 🥰🥰🥰!
Neither could care less about the Christmas tree 🎄, although Mushroom thinks that she is a gift 🎁, so she often naps at the bottom of it. Zucchini is doing her ‘little’ sister duties and making sure Mushy stays looking fab going into this holiday season 🛀✨.
While their lips 💋 are still a precarious balance, over the past few months, their foster parents have finally been able to see an improvement 🙌. This is likely to be an issue for the rest of their lives as it was left untreated for so long before they came to us 💔.
We are so grateful to the dedicated vets at The Kitten Clinic 🩺🐾 and their amazing foster parents for being persistent and willing to try different strategies 🧡👏 to get them as healthy as possible!
Villanelle
Our clever girl, Villanelle, has been perfecting her scritch-getting strategy: the longer she stretches, the faster the “oh you’re so cute” comments and pats come her way. 😻 She’s hoping to perfect this in her new forever home, but sadly, she hasn’t had any enquiries yet.
Despite being an older lass she is still happy to have zoomy play sessions in between naps! A little jingle of a bell or a flicker of a toy, and she’s off, tossing her favorite mouse around the room. 🐾
Villanelle’s wishlist for her perfect home:
✅ A pet-free zone where she can shine as the star
✅ Lots of fun toys (especially mice—they’re her fave!)
✅ Adult humans or older, respectful teens
✅ Endless pats, snacks, and admiration

Last week we put a call out for foster carers for our wobbly trio. Unfortunately no one put their hand up to help them which left them with nowhere to go. Thankfully our friends at Maneki Neko Cat Rescue (Neko HQ) were able to find space in a beautiful room for them to stay in together while we can continue to look for a suitable foster home for them.
Not only have the team been great at updating us and keeping a close eye on them as they settle in, they’ve even set up a kitten cam for us to watch them whenever we like. We are truly grateful to them for their help and understanding!
We are continuing to search for a foster home willing to take on our sweethearts long-term. Squishies will continue to cover the costs of their care, we just need a family with a big heart. We’re happy to chat with anyone who thinks they may be interested.
Neko HQ have done an amazing job caring for our cats in the past and this time is no exception. The cattery is fully booked for Christmas so if you’re planning a holiday in 2025 we would recommend booking in ASAP! Make sure you pop onto their page and give them a follow too.
Our sweet, senior lady Villanelle gets lovelier with every day. She’s been eating well and has started to put on some much needed weight. She even had her first play with some toys this week 🥰😍😘
Her tail continues to give her issues, she really is unable to move it. We’ve confirmed with her vet that we’ll need to amputate most of it to give her an opportunity to toilet hygienically and even lie down comfortably. Tomorrow she will have her repeat bloods and then we’ll make a surgery plan, until then she is getting super premium food and so so much love from her foster mum.
Princess Pixie has decided if she can't murder her fluffy friend, she'll suckle it instead! 💖
Pixie is doing SO well considering what she's been through this week. Her foster mum is making sure she isn’t too bored and they'll be spending the afternoon watching Netflix on the couch 🛋
A huge thankyou to those who have shared Pixie's story, made a donation or bought a mystery pack over the past few days. We appreciate your support and we definitely couldn't change lives like this without you!

🎬 Today’s Episode of ‘Things I Almost Ate, But Didn't’ 🎬
Starring: Me, Pixie 🐾
On today’s adventure, I tried to snack on:
🍂 1 dried worm
💩 3 bits of possum poop
🌿 Around 50 leaves, twigs, and flowers
🚬 1 cigarette butt (yuck!)
Thankfully, my foster mum is always on high alert and stops me just in time! I also considered going after two magpies 🐦, but after sizing them up, I decided they might be a bit too much for me right now. I’ll wait until I’m bigger and braver! 😉
