FOUND - SM1 💚 Early yesterday morning, this young kitten was found sitting on a window ledge in SM1. They are friendly, but completely covered in fleas. They are now safe in our care and have been treated to stop the discomfort. Sadly, they are not microchipped. The original finder received dozens of messages from people wanting to keep the kitten, so we want to gently remind everyone: found kittens cannot just be kept or handed out. They must legally be held for a minimum of 7 days while attempts are made to trace an owner, and many - like this little one - need urgent veterinary care first. We’ll be holding the kitten safely while we try to locate an owner. If you recognise them, please get in touch. #thestraycatclub #foundcat #lostcat #catrescue

NEW ARRIVALS 💚 We mentioned recently that a colony we thought we’d finally stopped (19 cats later) has started producing more cats again - and this weekend we went out to trap the emergency cases from the site. It genuinely feels never-ending out there. On Friday night we managed to trap one junior kitten, the only one left from the litter from what the feeder can tell. They are absolutely terrified and completely unsocialised from being born in a garden, but they’re finally safe and off the streets. Then yesterday, a huge thank you to Nikki and two of our volunteers who spent the entire day trapping Mum and her four newborn kittens. Mum had given birth under a broken fence panel in a derelict garden within the last 24 hours and was understandably petrified. She bolted at first, so the babies needed a few feeds until late in the day when Mum was finally trapped. She appears semi-feral, being a queen from the colony, but she’s incredibly hormone driven and may calm with time once she feels secure. There are still more cats at the site, but we’re stretched so incredibly thin that we have to focus on the most urgent cases first. It’s like whack-a-mole at this point, with new cats appearing as fast as we can help the last. For now, this little family - and the junior - are safe, warm, and finally somewhere they can be cared for properly. #thestraycatclub #catrescue #rescuekittens #spayandneuter #feralcats #colonycats

NIFFLER 💚 Our sweet boy Niffler is officially ready for his forever home. He’s a true cuddle bug - incredibly affectionate, gentle, and so ready to find his forever family 🥰 He’s also very cat friendly and spends his days crying around his foster home hoping the resident cats will let him join them. Unfortunately, they aren’t so keen, but it’s made it clear that Niffler would be happiest living with another friendly cat who wants a companion as much as he does. He’s been such a lovely boy to care for, and now he truly deserves a safe, stable, loving home of his own 🐈‍⬛ 📍Based near TW14. If you think you might be the right match for him, our adoption form is here: https://forms.gle/VaaJZSPTBKVoXz828 #thestraycatclub #catrescue #rescuecats #adoptdontshop
