CARDINAL💔 Yesterday, we were sent this video of a very unwell, battle-worn tomcat struggling to survive. He’s now been trapped and safe with our vets (thank you @brockwellvets ), finally getting the care he so desperately needs. Cardinal is in a heartbreaking state. He’s covered in fleas and ticks, with scars from years of fighting. He arrived with a limp, though thankfully doesn’t seem in pain right now. He’s started on antibiotics and is booked in tomorrow for castration and dental surgery. He will need x-rays to determine how many fractured teeth need removing - some are quite high up and potentially painful. We’re also monitoring his limp, and further x-rays may be needed if it doesn’t improve. What breaks our hearts is this: neighbours say they’ve known him for a while - but they’ve never seen him this bad before. Why didn’t anyone ask for help sooner? He didn’t become like this overnight. Like so many strays, he’s been slowly fading in the background, unseen until it was nearly too late. We didn’t expect this boy, but we’re so relieved he’s finally safe. If you can spare even £1 towards Cardinal’s care - or for the nearly 100 cats and kittens currently relying on us, we’d be so grateful. Adoptions are slow, summer is barely started, and most of our funds are going straight into vet bills and food. If you’d like to help purchase some food too - please ask for our postal address, or alternatively our Amazon wishlist is below.

MALLARD, PINTAIL, RUDDY & EIDER DUCKS 🦆 Our next four duck kittens are now ready to find their forever homes! 💚 These sweet boys are incredibly friendly, affectionate, playful, and full of confidence. Always exploring, playing, and completely cat-friendly - growing up as a family of 10 kittens! They can happily be adopted as pairs or as singles into homes with another young cat for company.

Yesterday we welcomed three tiny kittens who were left in a shoebox outside a church. They may have been there for up to 24 hours before they were found 💔 There was no information left, just a note asking to give them a good home. We have asked the church to leave up a notice to encourage whoever left them to reach out to us - so we can offer support, and most importantly, ensure that mum is neutered so this doesn’t happen again 😭 We believe they’re around six weeks old, based on their small weights and blue eyes — far too young to be away from their mum, but sadly that decision was taken away from them. They’ll now receive the care they need, but this is yet another reminder of why rescue work is so desperately needed. If you are able to help offer a temporary home to animals, please consider fostering with us. https://forms.gle/fodutaJAUYGJCynK9 #kittenrescue #catrescue #adoptdontshop #spayandneuter
