Compassion fatigue in rescue is something people don’t talk about enough.

People see the happy adoption photos, the tiny kittens, the glow-ups and the success stories, but they don’t always see the sleepless nights, the emergency vet visits at 3am, the constant worrying, the bottle feeds around the clock, the financial stress, or the heartbreak that comes when love simply isn’t enough to save them.

You carry every loss with you.

You replay every decision in your head wondering if there was something more you could have done, even when deep down you know you did everything possible. You learn to celebrate the wins while quietly grieving the ones that didn’t make it. And somehow, despite how heavy it gets, you keep showing up because the animals still need you.

Compassion fatigue doesn’t mean you care less. If anything, it comes from caring too much for too long without enough time to recover.

Rescue can be beautiful, but it can also be emotionally exhausting, isolating and devastating at times. Behind every foster, rescuer, vet nurse, veterinarian, kennel hand, volunteer and shelter worker is a person carrying far more than most people realise.

Please be kind to the people in rescue right now. Many of us are running on empty while still trying to hold everything together for the animals depending on us 🤍

🤍🤍🤍

We received a very sad and unexpected update today about one of our beautiful cats 🤍

Dreamfyre came into foster care in October 2024, heavily pregnant, and gave birth to five beautiful kittens, each with their own unique markings: Vermax, a silver tabby girl much like her mum; Syrax, our tiny tuxedo girl; Meleys, a stunning all-black little girl; Seasmoke, a handsome dark grey boy; and Caraxes, a beautiful, tiny tabby boy.

Tragically, Caraxes passed away at just a few days old. Despite our best efforts and interventions, the sweet boy passed peacefully, warm and surrounded by his mum, siblings, and myself.

Dreamfyre was an incredible mum. She doted on her babies right up until she was adopted. She was the friendliest, happiest little girl! She loved her humans and got along beautifully with all of our other animals. She was truly one of a kind, and I genuinely thought long and hard about foster failing and keeping her forever 🤍

That was until I met her perfect new family, everything she could have dreamed of. She was adopted in December 2024 and I would be lying if I said I didn’t shed a tear as she walked out the door, but her new family loved endlessly already. Renamed Yume, she quickly became a cherished member of her new family, alongside her three feline siblings.

Recently, Yume was diagnosed with renal lymphoma. Despite her family’s best efforts, and the support of their dedicated veterinary teams at Greencross, SASH, and ARH, there was sadly nothing more that could be done.

We are heartbroken that sweet Yume only had just over a year in her wonderful new life, but we are so incredibly grateful to Mell and her family for opening their home to an adult cat, giving her the life she deserved, and doing everything they could for her right until the very end.

Our beautiful girl has now been reunited with her beautiful boy, both taken far too soon 🤍
