Bushy Tail Cat Aid

29/08/2026

Kittens, kittens, kittens…
We are currently helping a rescuer who got stuck with over a dozen of kittens, and with no charity able to take them on.

Our own situation is: our premises (=our home!) got devastated with the constant influx of cats who p*e and poo literally floor to ceiling. Over £6K in debt on credit card for vet bills! Nearly 20 cats that will probably never get adopted as they are chronically ill or semi feral. Therefore… our problem now.

These cuties need neutering and vaccinating. Well, the CHARITIES who campaign for the funds to “tackle stray cats problem” will not issue countless neutering vouchers to those of us who are individual people trying to help the strays. Nope. Bushy Tail is not a charity. Aneta, who saved hundreds of strays, including this lot, is not a charity. The “premises” you see on the photos are of our own homes. But we get denied neutering schemes as apparently we take money out of the adoption fee. This excuse is so infinitely ridiculous that it makes us all want to sit at home and watch Netflix all evening. Only… some people still have enough compassion to not to walk away from sick, dying or pregnant cats.

These kittens need homes. We won’t rehome them unneutered, obviously, and we do have vets who can give us 30% off neutering and vaccinating. But to proceed with this, first of all we need some funds, and secondly, they need prospective adopters.

If you are interested in adopting any of them, please fill up the adoption form and we’ll figure out what to do with the veterinary needs of these cats. Right now, in honesty, it’s overwhelming, but most of all, it’s disheartening that this country doesn’t have a national government funded neutering scheme, like most European countries. UK did not need to be in this third world country crisis.

We are happy for the cats to be INDOORS, just please use common sense and understand that you’ll need to have your windows and balcony secured. This is not “too much” to ask, these kittens need to stay alive. If it’s too much, let’s not waste each other’s time.

Thank you!

MISSING CAT-WATFORD ‼️🆘
Can you please help us find Ziggy? He’s run out of the house on The Phillipers in Nt. Watford.
Ziggy lived in a home with a huge secured garden for 4 years, but he’s a clueless boy who’s never been outside since he was born. He’s an indoor/secured garden cat.

He came from a semi feral colony as a kitten, and he’s always been tricky to handle, so there’s no chance to just pick him up,but he’s a very sweet and kind boy, and he’s never known any harm.

The search for Ziggy in the area is 24/7. He has a distinctive eye patch and he’s a chunky boy. If you see him, please let us know day or night time, and we’ll be with you immediately.

Ziggy had a tough start in life, having been found in a pile of sick and deceased kittens. We managed to save the lives of 17 out of them, but it took 6 months for him and his siblings to get back to health. Hes got a wonderful home. He’s neutered, microchipped, insured and loved. He doesn’t know how to find food. He doesn’t know how to fight with other cats or foxes. His life is genuinely at risk.

Please check your sheds and garages.
Please don’t try picking him up, just call us and we’ll be with you immediately.

Help us find this boy, and reunite him with his family, who are devastated.

Thank you! ♥️

When you’re “feral”, but also veeeerry sleepy! Fidelio’s priorities!

Fidelio, Carmen and Faust are our semi feral kitties awaiting to be adopted. They are almost one now.

Just a regular shopping day! 🙈 (And more trapping at night!)
We go through one bag of cat litter per day and it feels like such a waste of funds on 💩! Thankfully Costco has Catsan on sale this week.

We are out of cat food, but we managed to order some at trade prices at £150 thanks to generosity of Elsa and Martin at Arts And Vintage in Highgate, who always help us feed the cats in our care with the cat food they sell. We are due to pick up an order from them on Thursday. We usually dip into our personal funds, but we are running on empty right now, and this can’t be happening permanently. If you’re passing by their shop and if you could contribute to our invoice, we would be grateful. And if you are able to send us some funds to our rescue’s bank account, we would appreciate it hugely! 😻🐈‍⬛

Charlie and Malcolm had their dental extractions last week, and we went to the vet with their cat dad, who took on them as strays and financed their entire veterinary care. The boys did very well! We were worried especially for Malcolm who has heart issues, and when we had him castrated, he had to go through a far more expensive procedure to ensure he wakes up safely. All went well in the capable hands of Fauna Vets!

Post surgery check up tomorrow!

Fire broke down in our area. All cats are inside the house with cat carriers ready to be used in case we needed to evacuate.
Scary times, and a bit unnerving as some of the 19 cats currently in our care are feral and difficult to catch.
So grateful for the fire department to get on site immediately. We have no water, but we are ok.
