Best Friends Sanctuary - Stray/Rescue Coventry

23/06/2026

The last Fish Tank kittens have been adopted today! 🎉

I will update you all when I get a nice photo of them in their new home.

Their adopter is fantastic and is going to keep them indoors/leash train them, consider a catio etc.

It was a pleasure seeing their loving, head bumping, kissable faces every day for the last few weeks.

And I'm sad that they went, they were a bit worried bless them in the carrier leaving

But I'm happy a lovely person willing to adopt indoor only cats came along to give them their best life 😻😻

Catios!

For keeping our friends safe from all the harm out to get them these days.

Please look
Please consider getting one

Can be homemade or professional.
Can be cheaply made from bits and bobs or a giant metal rhino proof one costing thousands.

Lots of choices.

A catio is the best way to protect your cats while letting them enjoy the outdoors.

Some cats are happy not going out, but many LOVE being outside.

After the 16 deceased cats in ONE garden in Coventry recently, I'm hoping more people take catios and cat proofed fences more seriously.

It is no longer the 1970's with about 3 cars in your street and hardly any demented young people around....

Dormouse aka Dormy Lou right this minute 🐱

Fighting fit!

Loving shoe laces, his crinkly tunnel (at about 2am!) and not loving sardines when he's expecting Felix Tasty Shreds etc!

His massive consumption of sachets seems to have calmed right down now he's caught up to his normal base weight.

So if that was putting you off applying to ADOPT HIM ,then don't be put off.

He no longer eats 4 for breakfast and about the same later in the day..
Although he's not fond of any dry food so far, he will pick at some, but prefers wet food every time.

Please share!
He needs a safe INDOOR/catio home.

To donate to help him and cats like him, now and in future please donate here:

Mr Screamer is laying on my white buddleia cuttings 😱

He STILL needs his own home.

Please only apply if you have a catio.
He adores being outside and I'm not compromising his happiness.

I was asked by a lovely student called Ella, months ago to speak to them for a university project, raising awareness about the horrific plight of street cats in this country.

This is the video she has produced!

Thank you also for the donation Ella.
😻

Coventry Cat Group are amazing!
They are so pro life, I really respect that.

Apparently loads of people haven't seen their afternoon tea posts, thanks to the idiots at FB HO so they've had to cancel. 😿

so I'm sharing!

*IMPORTANT*
We are very sad to announce, that we have had to cancel our June Afternoon Teas. In previous years, we've been fully booked and had to turn people away, but this year we have only had 3 bookings, which unfortunately makes the event not viable. An awful lot of work, time and money goes into these events by our lovely volunteers, and for it to be financially viable we need it to be well attended. We are all obviously heartbroken, as we love meeting our regulars and catching up, and the revenue from these events helps offset some of our huge running costs and the large vet bills we have . Refunds will be given as soon as possible, and obviously priority will be given for July's event to anyone who booked for June.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
We can't do what we do without you.

If you would like to support us with a donation or gift from our wishlist. Details can be found on our website www.coventrycatgroup.org.uk 😻

What a treat, watching these little Starlings going crazy over the "fruit"on this tree 😍
