RSPCA Sussex East and Hastings Branch (Bluebell Ridge)

I am excited to share that I will be participating in the Shine Full Marathon (26 Mile)) Night Walk in London on 20th September, followed by the Hastings Half Marathon on 5th October.

This personal challenge means so much to me, and I would be incredibly grateful for any support you can provide through a donation to RSPCA Sussex East and Hastings Branch (Bluebell Ridge). Your generosity would give me a huge boost as I take on these events.

Although Bluebell Ridge Hastings is part of the RSPCA, it is a self-funding charity that truly needs everyone's support to care for the wonderful cats in their shelter. They often run low on essential supplies such as cat food, kitten formula, cat litter, bedding, and medical supplies. Any donation you can make would be immensely appreciated and will directly help these beautiful animals.

Having volunteered at Bluebell Ridge for over a year now, I have witnessed firsthand the love and kindness that fills this place. Each week, I dedicate one morning to cleaning the cat pods and cattery, forming bonds with all the lovely cats who are waiting for their forever homes. On Friday afternoons, I spend time with them—fussing over them, playing with them, or simply sitting quietly with the more nervous ones to help them feel safe.

Working alongside such friendly staff and fellow volunteers is a true pleasure. Countless cats have been rescued, cared for, nursed back to health, and re-homed during my time here. One special cat named 'Soup' (who is in the page cover photo with me) captured my heart when I first started volunteering. He was shy and scared due to a difficult start in life but gradually learned to trust us all. I brought him home last June and he has transformed into our beloved 'Jax,' who is now a loving and much loved member of our family.

There are so many more beautiful cats like Jax who will benefit from Bluebell Ridge's efforts and find their happy endings thanks to your support. Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure; your details are safe with them—they'll never sell your information or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your contribution goes directly to the charity—making it the most efficient way to help those in need.

😻Sunday Special😻

Today we would like to highlight our gorgeous girl... Picante!

Picante is a sweet lady came to Bluebell Ridge after she was transferred from RSPCA Finsbury Park Animal Hospital where she was brought in as a stray cat.

Picante has needed time and space to help her settle into the cattery, 5 weeks into her stay with us, she now loves a fuss on her terms and craves a one on one connection.

We think Picante would be a brilliant companion for a single adult who would like a cat to join them on the sofa for fusses.

Picante needs to lead any interactions she is involved in, like many cats she is not comfortable being picked up, but is much happier being given the chance to approach for a fuss.

Picante is loving the life of luxury and no longer having to fend for herself, she spends the majority of her time snoozing in her bed and demands her breakfast to be served in bed like the 'little' princess she is.

Picante is not a small girl, weighing around 5 kg, she is a large cat with a lucious coat.

Could you give Picante her loving forever home?

🎉Feature Friday🎉

Today's star cat is Indiana.

Indiana came to Bluebell Ridge as one of 5 kittens from a multi-cat household. This sweet little lad is only 4 months old and is looking for a loving forever home.

As with many multi-cat household cats, Indiana missed out on key socialisation during his early weeks of life. He can be nervous but is learning to trust. He is just a young lad and we feel in a home he will be much more settled and comfortable.

Indiana could live with other cats, but would prefer an adult only home or a home with sensible older children aged 15 years or older.

As the last kitten out of the 5 to find his loving home, we are eager to find Indiana his loving home as soon as possible so he isn't lonely when his siblings go to their homes.

Can you offer this sweet boy his loving forever home?

🏃Less than a month to go until the Hastings Half Marathon!🏃

We now have three fantastic runners supporting our Branch. Julie volunteers in the cattery as well as working for us. Nancy is a volunteer foster carer and Becky is one of our lovely cattery volunteers.

Julie, Nancy and Becky are raising money to help support our Branch. As a self funded branch, we rely on donations to continue to run. Without amazing supporters like Julie, Nancy and Becky fundraising for us, we just would not be able to continue the vital work that we do for animal welfare in our community.

You can help support Julie, Nancy and Becky by donating on their Just Giving Pages.

😻SUNDAY SPECIAL😻

This weeks Sunday Special is dear little Zelda!

Zelda came to Bluebell Ridge after she was transferred from the RSPCA Hospital RSPCA Finsbury Park Animal Hospital. Zelda was originally brought into care as she was found on a road with an injury to her back leg.

The amazing staff at Finsbury Park Animal Hospital rushed to help Zelda but sadly her leg injury was too severe and her best option was to have it amputated.

Zelda has recovered really well and now spends her time playing in her run. Zoomies are her favourite thing. Zelda is a shy little girl, but despite her rough start in life, she is starting to learn to trust us and will approach for a fuss.

Zelda needs a calm home with no other pets, she would be best matched to a home with adults and older children aged 15 years or older. Zelda has a lot of love to give, but she needs time and patience to help her trust her environment and her new family.

Could you offer this sweet little lady her loving forever home?

🙀 Found Kittens! 🙀

Do you recognise these little ladies?

We had two kittens brought into us on Wednesday, reportedly found on a road in the Hollington Area of Hastings.

Sadly, these little girls are not microchipped. We do not know an accurate location they were found or an accurate date they were found. We were provided very limited information.

If you are missing a pair of kittens or know someone who may be missing these kittens, please do contact us on 01424 752121, [email protected] or message on social media.

😻Sunday Special😻

This Sunday, we'd like to shine a light on one special lad in the cattery.

Meet Buddy, this sweet boy has sadly returned to us as he was not settling in his previous home. Buddy is full of energy and needs a home where he can have lots of enrichment and space to play outside.

Buddy is a handsome lad, who craves attention and affection. He'd like to be the centre of attention in any home he goes to, so please no other pets. However, he would love plenty of attention for a selection of human servants, including children aged 12 year or older.

Buddy is a 7 year old cat, but he has the energy of a kitten. He needs a home where his family will give him lots of enrichment and play time. Puzzle feeders and things to challenge his brain would be perfect for him.

Could you offer this handsome lad his loving forever home?

🎉Feature Friday🎉

Welcome back to Feature Friday!

This weeks star cat, is gorgeous Misty!

Meet Misty, this sweet little lady returned to us recently through no fault of her own. Misty is a sweetheart, she loves a fuss but also has tonnes of cheeky personality.

She has gained quite a bit of weight and needs a home with lots of space so she can work some of the extra weight off. Misty loves exploring the outside and needs a home with a garden to investigate.

Misty is looking for a home as the only pet in the household, but could live with older children aged at least 12 years or older.

Misty loves to play, so a family who are ready to provide lots of enrichment and acitivity for her would be brilliant. This will also help to get her back to her perfect weight.

Could you offer sweet Misty her loving forever home?
