Who remembers Jasper & Coco?
These two were rescued by Em in October 2025 and brought to us.
They were in a terrible condition.
They were underweight, flea/worm infested and suffering with cat flu.
The flu hit Jasper particularly hard and he had to spend two nights in the animal hospital.
Thankfully they both recovered and went to a fabulous home in Glossop.
Their mama sent us an update and the whole team are thrilled to see how well they are doing.
They look fantastic and it’s so heartwarming to hear how much they are loved 🥰

We loved this update from their mama ❤️

“They are doing great thank you.
They have both put weight on. Coco now eating really well. Jasper still as greedy as ever. I now have a cat flap in my back door so the come in and out as they please but get them in at night though as I don't want anything to happen to them. I love them to bits. They are extremely bonded. Where one is the other one not far behind. They still groom each other and play fight but never hurt each other.”

🐾 Why don’t we always have lots of cats and kittens available for adoption? 🐾

It’s a question we’re often asked, and the answer is quite simple.

At Glossop Cat Rescue, we mainly take in sick, elderly, and stray cats. Many arrive needing significant veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, and lots of TLC before they’re ready for a new home.

Every cat receives the care they need, no matter how complex their situation. Once they’re healthy and ready, they’re put up for adoption. However, some cats need much longer to recover, and others require ongoing support, so they are placed in long term foster homes where they can continue to thrive.

It would be much easier for us to focus only on cats that can be quickly rehomed with minimal intervention. But that’s never been our approach.

We made a decision a long time ago that Glossop Cat Rescue would focus on the cats who truly need rescuing. We wanted to be a genuine rescue, not simply a rehoming service.

Behind the scenes, we actually have a lot of cats in our care. We keep track of them all with our trusty spreadsheets (which are absolute lifesavers when our brains are frazzled! 😂). They help us monitor where each cat is, their treatments, medications, progress, and everything else needed to ensure they receive the best possible care.

So while you may not always see lots of cats available for adoption, please know that many more are being cared for, recovering, and getting the second chance they deserve.

Some journeys are straightforward. Many are not. But our commitment remains the same: to give every cat that comes through our doors the very best care possible. ❤️🐱

Thank you for supporting our work and helping us continue to rescue the cats that need us most. 🐾💕

A Trio of Beautiful Cats Looking for Their Forever Homes 🐾 (they can be adopted separately)

These three gorgeous cats were found living together in a garden for several weeks, and despite efforts, no owners have come forward. It’s clear they know each other, as they’re comfortable and relaxed in each other’s company.
All three have just been neutered, flea and wormed and are currently recovering well. They’ll soon be ready to start the next chapter of their lives in loving homes.

Holden, ginger and white boy is around 1-2 years old. He is the confident one of the group.
He’s a real sweetheart who enjoys attention and isn’t shy about showing his affectionate side.

Hudson, grey and white boy is under a year old. Hayley, female is a 1-2 year old Siamese Torti cross.
These two are a little more reserved at first. They can be nervous when approached and may flinch initially, but every day they’re growing in confidence.
They are starting to understand that strokes are nice and being picked up and cuddled is the safe.
With patience, kindness, and a calm home, they have so much potential to blossom.
While we can’t promise Hudson and Hayley will become lap cats, they might be but they offer something just as special.
They just need someone to take a chance on them and to be part of their journey as they learn to trust, gain confidence, and truly thrive in a loving home.
They would probably benefit from living with a confident and calm cat.

If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in a cat’s life, one (or more!) of these lovely cats could be the perfect match for you.
If you would like to meet any or all of these beauties with the view of offering one or more of them a loving forever home, please message us privately.
Adoption fees and home checks will apply

Some positive news on the cat we took in from Marple yesterday.
We wanted to get her to a vet as quickly as possible in case she was in pain.
I was on home check duties this morning, but
Luckily one of our volunteers had time to take her to a local vet first thing.
Her rescuer gave her the name Angel and what a little angel she is.
She’s so sweet natured.
The vet examined her and apparently the growth is not attached to muscle or bone so the vet is confident most of it can be removed. Although it’ll be challenging due to there not being much skin there. She needs some teeth removed and has a nasty abscess on her back. She’s eating well and especially loves dreamies. She’s started grooming herself too.

She is on painkiller and antibiotics.
Thank you Barbara for taking her to the vet ❤️

We’ve taken this cat in as despite many efforts, her owner hasn’t been traced.
She’s not chipped.
A kind lady took her to the vets who suggested mouth cancer.
The vets wouldn’t keep her there.
She’s now safe with us.
If she’s your cat or you know who her owner is, please contact us.
We will be taking her to our vets tomorrow 😔

LONG TERM FOSTER NEEDED

❤️ Meet Thomas ❤️

At the beginning of May, we were alerted to a cat in Glossop who was in an absolutely terrible state.

Local residents had been feeding him for some time, but he proved very elusive to catch. With the help of two dedicated and experienced cat trappers, a plan was put in place and Thomas was finally brought to safety.

He was a mess. 💔

Thomas was covered in fleas, ticks and lice. He wasn’t neutered and was covered in scars, bite wounds and large patches of matted fur. His mouth and tongue were badly swollen, and his dental disease was so severe that he had extensive infections, decaying teeth and abscesses filled with pus.

We genuinely didn’t think he would make it.

Over the following weeks, Thomas received intensive veterinary treatment and lots of TLC. The infection in his mouth caused a large hole to develop in his chin, which needed treating several times a day to prevent sepsis. He underwent a full dental extraction, received multiple courses of strong antibiotics and enjoyed plenty of high quality soft food to help him regain weight and strength.

His final vet bill was £1,277.28

We’re delighted to say that, apart from a grooming session next week, Thomas has made an incredible recovery. ❤️

Now he’s ready to find a sofa of his own.

We’re looking for a long-term foster home for Thomas so we can ensure his future health needs are monitored and cared for. We’d prefer his foster family to be fairly local, as he may need occasional visits to our vets in Whaley Bridge, although these are not expected to be frequent.

Thomas has been left with some disfigurement around his mouth and chin due to the extent of the infections he suffered. Our vets have assured us this is purely cosmetic and causes him no pain or discomfort.

Despite everything he’s been through, Thomas absolutely adores people. He loves cuddles, enjoys being held like a baby and soaks up every bit of affection he can get. He is the definition of a lap cat and has the sweetest nature.

If you think you could offer Thomas the loving foster home he deserves, please send us a private message.

This brave boy has fought so hard for his second chance. Let’s help him find the happy ending he deserves. ❤️
