Tonight we've had some remarkable break throughs with some of our not so social cats

Iman had been coming closer and closer to me without biting or hissing, I'm unable to touch her yet but baby steps. Tonight she was playing like a kitten in front of me, she normally plays when we not around or looking

Hermione accepts affection but doesn't actively seek it out but tonight she's lying on my lap, rubbing on my hands and love biting my fingers

Sheera has come on leaps and bounds, she adores me, follows me everywhere, demands pet pets

Lane my precious girl loves the bum scratches

😍😍😍

ADOPTION ALERT - STACHE

8 week old Stache is ready for his furever family

He's a beautiful boy who had a bit of a rough start to life. He was rescued by Kayla and she has nursed him back to health and continues to foster him until the purrfect home comes along.

He's been vet checked and will be vaccinated and dewormed prior to homing.

He's a major cuddle bug with a fantastic playful streak so he's just the whole package

To adopt Stache please what's app me on 0672043391

Strict home checks, adoption fees and adoption processes apply

This is us nebulising the sick bubbies

Jenga kept whacking it out of my hand so Craig made a makeshift grid to spare my fingers

17/01/2024

the last few days has been a bit rough

Chester has pneumonia and has improved slightly on the antibiotic and the nebulising

Today I had 6 cats at Snip Veterinary Clinic to see the amazing Dr Glynis, when we arrived we saw 2 of my packet babies Quartz and Quinn who were going in for their steris, I was so excited to see them (if you remember I bottle fed them from a few days old)

Abby also got sterilized today and is home recouping, as always Glynis does the most amazing sutures and really looked after our girl

The Gaming 5 are all unfortunately sick so their steris have been postponed.

Jenga is not much better than Chester and because she's feral I'm unable to pill her, Glynis has treated all 5 for me today with jabs, B12 etc
If no improvement in them I'll have to admit both which will be quite an expense

Kim Tyne was absolutely incredible by fetching us early this morning and also doing drop off and collecting meds from HVH for Chester

When Kim came to drop off the kitties my catio had flooded, I managed to get most of the furniture inside but it was a mammoth task moving a large couch basically on my own

I'd like to say a very big thank you to Kim from Feeding Our Ferals KZN NPC 2022/873200/08 for all the support and everything you do for us daily, to Dr Glynis for the amazing work she does for the kitties and to my hubby who was helping me catch 5 feral cats and got bitten badly in the process

Stay safe during this terrible weather and please bring your furkids inside

Enough is enough!!

End the Irresponsibility and Cruelty of Cat Abandonment!

Enough is enough! We are tirelessly working to combat the rampant breeding of ferals and strays, rescuing more kittens than there are LEGO bricks in the entirety of LEGO Land. Yet, in the midst of this Herculean effort, we are forced to confront the despicable actions of irresponsible pet owners abandoning cats every single day—kittens, mommies, adult cats, and once-beloved feline companions.
Why have you become the coward who abandons these innocent beings to unimaginable suffering and slow deaths? What kind of human being consciously walks away without a shred of guilt for the immense suffering inflicted on a living, breathing being? SHAME ON YOU!
The alarming rate of abandonment has reached unprecedented levels, and the root cause is clear: people are neglecting to sterilize their cats! The increasing number of individuals selfishly abandoning their feline companions not only burdens rescue organizations but also inflicts a severe financial strain on our resources.
Numerous factors contribute to this rising epidemic of cat abandonment—economic hardships, lifestyle changes, emigration, moving to cat-restricted spaces, and unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, a lack of responsibility as pet owners, failure to provide preventative care, and an absence of commitment lead to impulsive decisions resulting in abandonment. Online marketplaces and irresponsible breeding practices exacerbate the issue, flooding rescue organizations with an overwhelming influx of abandoned cats and kittens.
Most rescue organizations heavily rely on public donations and fundraising initiatives to sustain operations. The escalating number of abandoned cats stretches these funding sources thin, making it challenging for organizations to maintain the quality of care they strive to provide.
Overcrowded sanctuaries, fosters, and rescues contribute to a decline in the overall health and well-being of cats already under our care, necessitating additional veterinary attention and specialized care. This increased demand for resources places rescue organizations in a precarious financial position.
Enough is enough! Your cats and pets are YOUR responsibility, not ours! We cannot save them all, and the burden you have neglected falls on our shoulders!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!!! We are exhausted, financially depleted, and emotionally unstable due to the heart-wrenching decisions we are forced to make.
If you feed ferals in your yard, take responsibility to Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) them too. If you adopt a kitten, commit to saving every month to sterilize them at 5-6 months. Do not let them roam outside until they are sterilized and vaccinated. The stories we encounter daily are countless, but it's NEVER YOUR CAT, right?
GUESS WHAT? IT'S NOT OUR CATS EITHER! But you constantly need our help, and we are the ones who come to the rescue. It's time for a change—take responsibility for the lives you adopted and stop the cycle of suffering you've irresponsibly unleashed upon innocent creatures!

Chester hasn't been well and today he was looking really bad and my gut was telling me that this is a bit worse than snuffles.

I noticed his gums were slightly blue and decided to take him to Hillcrest Vet and have him checked out as the antibiotics and nebulising wasn't working. Dr Nicky Hogan did an xray and he unfortunately does have pneumonia in his left lung.

He's been given an antibiotic injection (the Rolls Royce of antibiotics) and I will nebulise him several times through the night. If no improvement I'll have to unfortunately admit him in 😢

The Gaming 5 are all snuffly and they go tomorrow to see Dr Glynis at Snip and will be administered meds via an injection as I cannot pill feral kittens 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Abby goes in for her steri tomorrow and of course I'm always concerned when any of my cats go in but she's in the best hands with Dr Glynis and of course no heat and no babies 🎉🎉

Please send healing vibes to all the bubs but especially little Chester as I'm terribly worried about him 😢😢

Thank you always for the support and love you show me and my kitty cats 😻😻

Guess who's eyes are opening!

Baby Boo is doing amazingly well

What a champ 💪💪

14/01/2024

Today I tried to medicate one of my feral kittens and I came off second best

I want to stress this was NOT the kittens fault but my own, I am able to touch her but only on her own terms.

I didn't follow safety precautions and use a pair of gloves or a towel and she panicked because she's not feeling well

The scratch is superficial but the bite is deep and sore

We as humans need to respect nature and wild animals and we need to work within their boundaries and with what they are comfortable with

My precious girl is so loved and I will get her better even if I have to take a few bites or scratches in the process.

He's a little skittish but underneath it all the biggest love bug

He's doing fantastic, his tummy issues have resolved and he's eating like I've never fed him before 😂

He's very vocal, he loves to let me know when he wants food or if I'm not playing enough with him

This gorgeous boy is the epitome of love and cuteness

I know I'm biased but I don't care, I bottle fed this boy, I've poured so much love into him and I just want him to have the best life he possibly can.

Baby Boo has weighed it at 109g so she's gained 9g since yesterday

I'd ideally like it to be 10g a day but any gain is a victory

She's tiny, fits my hand but has a cry on her

She looks like she's a fighter 💪

Need lots of good vibes for this precious little being, I am pouring everything I have into her to keep her thriving

❤️❤️❤️

Update Stubbs

Stubbs is doing fantastic, his tummy is almost resolved and he's eating like a champ

No more nasty p**p dripping out his bum! 🥳🥳🥳
I consider this a huge victory as when he came back to me he was very uncomfortable and bloated and sore from the extensive tummy issues

I'd like to say thank you to my lovely friend Jo-Anne Jennings for dropping off meds on Saturday night at the adopter and then on Sunday for fetching him and bringing him to me in Hillcrest when the adopter advised she wasn't equipped to handle his tummy issues. Also for donating me 2 x baskets and a bag of litter, Jo you are a treasure

Also a very big thank you to Dr Inke Helm at Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital for seeing us on Sunday, for taking the time to listen to all my concerns and of course for making my Stubb man better in a space of a few hours!

Stubbs is up for adoption and will be ready in about a weeks time so if you'd like the sweetest most affectionate, vocal boy then Stubbs is your little man

❤️❤️❤️

Sad News about Cloud

Unfortunately at just after 3am he passed away

Cloud was born with 2 deformed back Paws (almost like club foot), I was willing to give this boy a go at life

I think these babies just had way too much exposure and not enough milk in time

RIP Cloud

Sad News

Unfortunately little Avery crashed and passed away

I'm not sure if it's because she was cold for too long or if her sugar dropped from not getting milk quick enough.

I tried by doing fading kitten protocol, dextrose every 3 minutes and swaddle on heat source but it wasn't meant to be

This is the heart breaking side of rescue

RIP little girl, you matter, you are loved, sorry I couldn't save you 💔
