Absolutely heartbreaking 💔🫶😿🐾💞😻🙏🏻
Animal cruelty is abhorrent. More must be done than mandatory microchipping cats since June 2024, all pawrents must be legally registered.
Is there a UK or even global register of those inflicting cruelty to animals. Perhaps we need something like we have for pedophiles that impact on their life when registered under the Animal Cruelty Act.




🙏🏻 for all you and other charities do for all furbabies 😻🐾🙏🏻

Some fab tips caring for our furbabies so many adopt or get kittens and maybe dont think about the mental stimulation they all need, giving them space on their terms, cats aren't like dogs you can choose.to love cuddle overwhelm play at your wim as dogs love to. Cats I find of over 25 years experience are like us, get up in our face and well respond, demand our time and force us to do things others want, cuddle, play, hold us and invade our space imagine how you would feel, then think twice with meow furbaby especially when you first adopt or foster. Give them time, space and patience and let them lead the pace they are happy with. Spend time with them in small amounts and talk to them gently, comforting them, encouraging engagement, playtime is always a great distraction, a piece of string enticing their natural hunting skills, relaxes them if they engage then you can build on the foundations.
I miss my Ellie so much and Jake and his sister Tinker, all 3 totally different in characters, Jakes personality changed majorly after losing his sister to a hit and run outside our home but he did become a more loving boy as his sister did rule the roost. Adopting a senior in Ellie age 9.5, choosing her online but then meeting how she chose me as her furmummy and the bond we had for the next 9.5 years until Ellie was an incredible 19 yrs and 3mths old but fell ill suddenly. It was so incredible and pure love, no comparison just different and I loved Jake my child I never had but he was a daddys boy before losing his sister then his daddy leaving and Jake and I became so bonded it was us against the world until he was 13 suddenly falling ill with lymphoma of the liver was heartbreaking as I thought he would live to an old age, besides urinary stones repeatedly wity blockage and having emergency surgery when we lived in Spain, as vet said 'we make him girl'
Our hearts expand to love more as my BFF said when I fell in love with Ellie after losing Jake.
Dont always think what you want in a pet but also what they need from you as their pawrent 🫶😻💞🙏🏻🐾

Cats might seem like they’ve got it all figured out, but even the most independent felines need a little help from us to stay content.

Here are some easy (and fun!) ways to boost your cat’s happiness:

🧶 Play every day! Short, playful sessions with toys that move like prey keep those natural instincts sharp – and it’s a great bonding time too.

🏠 Think upwards: cat trees, shelves, and window perches let them explore the world from on high.

📦 Hide and seek: boxes, tunnels, and cosy hideaways give cats safe spaces to relax and recharge.

🪁 Mix it up: rotate toys to keep things fresh and exciting – it stops boredom in its tracks!

🤲 Give them choice: let your cat decide when it’s cuddle time; they’ll love you even more for it.

Please Purrlease neuter your cats, they can get pregnant from age 4mths and are only babies themselves. Don't be cruel to your furbaby 🙏🏻🐾😻😿 PLEASE SHARE

Puuuuurlease consider Cat fostering 🐈😺🐾

We and ALL other rescues are overwhelmed and FULL to the brim with cats, mamas and many dumped kittens! The babies in the picture are looking for a foster after being cruelly dumped 😿 We cannot imagine the anguish of the poor mama cat and no space for any newcomers. They are being cared for at a kind vet practice but of course they can't stay there!!! This is what we are all up against! Its a constant flow of kittens discarded like trash, neglected cats, abused, abandonment 💔

Puuuuurlease neuter your cats and don't dump them ...we are heartbroken 💔 and can't keep up

If you have space, time and love to give to a foster cat or kittens we provide all equipment, food and vet care

Please DM us or email 📨 [email protected]

IMPORTANT TIPS WHEN BRINGING YOUR FURRBABY HOME🫶🐾🐈‍⬛️🐈 RSPCA Bedfordshire South Branch

Puuuuurlease when adopting or bringing a new cat into your home puuuurlease remember the RULE of 3 nicely set out in the picture. We will of course always take a cat back when circumstances change or things don't work out. BUT puuurlease think before you adopt or buy. They ARE family and be prepared to care and love them for their whole life. YOU ARE THEIR LIFE....

Dear Human,

I know I don’t chase the feather toy like I used to.
My steps are slower now, my eyes don’t see like they once did,
and I spend more time curled up in the quiet corners of our home.

But please don’t mistake my silence for distance,
or my naps for absence.

I still hear your voice, and it soothes me.
I still feel your touch, and it comforts me.
And though I may not always come running,
my heart still runs to you—every time.

You are my world, my warmth, my forever.
Even as my body grows tired, my love for you never fades.

Thank you for staying with me through every season.
I’m still here, still yours…
and I always will be.

With all my love,
Your Old Friend 🐾

Neuter your cats is being a responsible pawrent. Kittens can get pregnant at 4 months, which is heartbreaking. Ellie became a mum before she was 2 as her first owners had her from a kitten but didn't keep her indoors once they had a baby, her and her daughter Kerry were then left outside with a pet house because they soiled indoors but never provided a litter tray or a cat flap. Thankfully age 9 and 7 they gave them up to Woodgreen London, I adopted Ellie at Royston branch aged 9.5 in 2014. Sadly I didnt know of her daughter until reading the questionnaire from previous owners. Ellie lived the 2nd half of her life in luxury, loved and pampered til 19 and 3 mths old.

Please neuter your cats.

Yesterday we vaccinated 22 kittens, which is not even all the kittens in our care. Every single kitten is black or black and white, the most unpopular colours with adopters. We have kittens coming in every day and pregnant mums due any day now. These kittens should be in their forever homes. Instead they are still waiting and rescues are full to the brim.

don’t shop.

Having lost Tinker, Jakes sister to a hit and run outside our house opposite a woodland, often used as a rat run to avoid road with traffic lights. Poor Tinker was hit in the head and thnkfully witnessed and knocked on our door to ask if we had a B&W cat worried if it was Jake or Tinker. Poor Tinke rmy 1st furbaby girl aged only 16 months old was haemoragging from the mouth and her eye had popped out of its socket from the impact at the side of our quiet road beside the woodland opposite as she was curious little Tinker. Had the lovley guy who knocked on our door NOT have done so, we wouldn't have know of our furbaby girl Tinkers accident. I held her in my arms as she haemorraged, my heart racing thinking it was her heart rate but she was gone. Jake sat as we 3 sat on our doorstep licking his sister as we cried. It was such a traumatic time and Jake sat for weeks on the patio waiting/looking for his sister.

Dogs/pawrents get more respect when accidents happen, cats deserve the same. Not knowing is worse and I've dreaded ever since with Jake and then later adopting Ellie who thankfully rarely left the garden. PLEASE SHARE YOUR SUPPORT 🙏🏻🐾💔🪽🌈🖤🤍

'It is simply wrong that families are left in the dark if their cat is hit by a car'

July 2013 Jake suddenly stopped eating, which for a foodie like him was very unusual. Hospitalised for a week on a drip as dehyrdrated and scans, his liver enzymes/bilirubin levels sky high, the vets let me visit Jake daily and sit with him which was a great comfort after work. After coming home, Jake declined again and was back in hospital, exploratory surgery as his bile duct was blocked and he had to have a liver bile duct bypass and biopsy tissue was taken. I will remember the day I was called in to collect Jake and receive his biopsy results like it was yesterday. My legs buckled as I was told Jake had a week to live and had high grade lymphoma of the liver. He was on palliative care on steroids and came home to make our last memories. Jake fought for 9 months, he was incredible and gave me strength to care for him, working from home a lot, thanks to a very caring understanding boss. This photo was taken whilst Jake was hospitalised for a 2nd week post surgery. We took it day by day and spent every day as it was his last, reaching milestones with celebrations, last Christmas, NY, Easter, and lastly his last birthday he turned 13 on 12th March. Jake lost his fight after turning very jaundiced and weak making to hardest decision of my life to let him go on 29th May 2014. My baby boy, it had been me and Jake against the world for the last 7 years since his fur daddy left us and we moved back from Spain Oh the adventures we had, (no trains) but planes, boats and automobiles a plenty or road trips. He adapted with every scenario with ease and love to be cuddled like a baby. I miss you every day Jake and do hope you found your sister Tinker we lost at 16mths old, and am hopeful you have met Ellie and reunited with Nanny too. Love you all 🖤🤍🖤🤍😻🫶🫶🫶🫶🪽🪽🪽🪽 heaven has 4 amazing angels 😘💕

Who knew 12 years after Jake was diagnosed my late Mother would be diagnosed with liver bile duct cancer 💔💞
