Another mamma has come into our care 💔
Meet Cheesecake.
After receiving a call from a local vet practice, the team went out to pick up this beautiful girl who is due to give birth at any moment. With rescue already full and not enough foster spaces available, we honestly didn’t know where she would go.

After lots of calls and support from our amazing community, this little one now has a safe place to rest and prepare for her babies 🐾❤️

Please, please neuter your cats. Rescue spaces are overwhelmed, and so many pregnant mums and kittens need help every single day.

We are desperately in need of supplies to help keep these mummies and babies safe, warm, and fed. Any support, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.

🐾 Foster Appeal for Zina 🐾

Meet Zina 💛

Zina has been with us since 28 January 2026 and is now looking for a calm, loving foster home where she can finally relax and feel safe.

Due to skin allergies, Zina needed long-term medication, but we’re happy to say her condition has now resolved!
Unfortunately, the stress of cattery life is beginning to affect her wellbeing, and she would really benefit from a quiet home environment while she waits for her forever family.

Zina needs a peaceful place to rest, recover, and simply enjoy being in a home again. A patient and understanding foster carer could make a huge difference to her happiness and confidence.

If you think you could be the right person to help Zina on her journey, please follow the link below:

Kitten season is upon us, and the strain is already beginning. 🐾

Every year around this time, we receive heartbreaking calls about mama cats and newborn kittens with nowhere to go. Foster spaces are full, supplies run low, and we do everything we can to make room for those in need.

Right now, we are in desperate need of supplies such as kitten milk, bottles, blankets, and other essentials. We have updated our Amazon wishlist for anyone who would like to help support the rescue and the many cats depending on us.

We are also urgently looking for foster carers who have the time, patience, and dedication to help care for mama cats and their babies. Fostering truly saves lives and allows us to continue helping more animals in need.

If you can help in any way — by donating supplies, fostering, sharing this post, or supporting us through our wishlist — we would be incredibly grateful. ❤️

Please follow the links below to help:

What a week!!

On Tuesday, our team received a call about a mama cat and her two tiny kittens needing help. Arrangements were made immediately to attend the site the very same day to assess the situation and create a rescue plan.

When the team arrived, the situation turned out to be much bigger than expected. Not only was there one mama cat with two-week-old kittens, but there was also another heavily pregnant mama on site. With only one available space at the time, the team faced the difficult decision of choosing which family to bring into safety first.

That day, the team successfully rescued the first mama cat and her two kittens, getting them safely out of danger and into care.

The following day, the team regrouped and put another plan into action for the second mama cat, who was close to giving birth. We are happy to share that mama number two has now also been rescued alongside her four newborn kittens.

During the rescue process, the team also discovered a feral tomcat responsible for the growing number of litters in the area. To help prevent more unwanted litters and protect future cats from suffering, the team brought him in as well and once neutered he will be returned to the site.

This rescue was challenging, emotional, and required quick decision-making, but because of teamwork and dedication, multiple lives are now safe and receiving the care they deserve.

We now have a lot of hungry mouths to feed and we are appealing for donations of cat food to keep our kitties tummies full.

Fostering saves lives!!

🐾 Could you open your home to a cat in need? 🐾

We’re urgently looking for caring, reliable fosterers to help our cats on their journey to a loving forever home 💛

Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways you can help. By offering a safe, temporary home, you’ll give a cat the chance to relax, build confidence, and experience real home life – something many of them have never known. It can make all the difference to their chances of being successfully rehomed.

✨ What’s involved?
🐱 Providing a loving, temporary home
🐱 Feeding, caring for, and spending time with your foster cat
🐱 Helping them grow in confidence and prepare for adoption
🐱 Sharing updates to help them find their forever family

Don’t worry – you won’t be doing it alone! We’ll provide guidance, support, and cover essential costs like food and vet care, so you can focus on giving your foster cat the love they deserve.

📍 Please note: Fosterers need to live within our branch area so they can easily collect supplies and access support. This includes: Eastcote, Ruislip, Pinner, Northwood, Rickmansworth, Harrow, Watford and Wembley.

Whether you’ve fostered before or are completely new, we’d love to hear from you!

Every foster home frees up space for another animal in need and truly helps save lives 🐱
