💔🐾 Meet Snowy 🐾💔

This beautiful girl is Snowy, around 3 years old, and already she’s been through more than any cat should…

Snowy appeared outside a kind lady’s home, who began feeding her and caring for her. Wanting to do the right thing, she had Snowy scanned for a microchip… and yes, she had one.

Amazing, right? Sadly not…
When her owners were contacted, they said they didn’t want her back 💔 claiming she “kept escaping.”

But since arriving at Marla’s Cat Rescue just a week ago, Snowy has shown us her beautiful true self — and it’s heartbreaking to think she was ever unwanted.

She hasn’t tried to escape once. Instead, she’s been enjoying the simple things… watching the world go by from the window, soaking up love, and letting her humans cater to her every need (as she deserves 👑).

Snowy isn’t an escape artist — she was just searching for somewhere she felt safe, loved, and wanted.

Now she’s found that with us… and soon, she’ll be ready to find her forever home 🤍

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion, keep an eye on our page — Snowy will be available for adoption soon

💔 Bobbie’s Sad Story 💔

Three and a half years ago, Bobbie lost the only person she had ever known… her owner.

At 10 years old, her whole world changed overnight.

Her family, heartbroken themselves, didn’t know what to do. They were told by larger charities that due to her age, Bobbie would likely be put to sleep. They couldn’t face that decision… so instead, she was left in the home she’d always known.

For three and a half years, Bobbie lived there alone. People came and went to feed her, but she had little to no human contact. No affection. No companionship. Just silence, loneliness and sadness 💔

I first heard about Bobbie when rehoming another cat. Her pet sitter—who had been caring for her for around 6 months—told me she had only ever seen Bobbie properly twice… both times just running past to hide.

We knew helping her wouldn’t be easy. After so long alone, Bobbie is understandably traumatised and fearful.

But we couldn’t leave her like that.

I went to meet her and managed to safely get her into a carrier (she was not impressed 😿), and we found her a wonderful, quiet foster home where she is the only pet.

Bobbie is now 13 years old and has been in foster for around four weeks.

Progress has been slow, which is exactly what we expected given her situation.

She spends most of her time tucked away in a wardrobe, her safe space. She comes out to eat and use the litter tray, and we know she has quietly explored the room when nobody is around.

Her foster mum is doing an amazing job giving her the time, space, and calm environment she needs. We’ve already been using a range of approaches to support her (Feliway, Rescue Remedy, calming music, catnip, etc.), and we know that for Bobbie, this is going to be a long journey.

That said, if anyone has experience with cats who have become extremely withdrawn after long periods of isolation, we’re always open to hearing about anything that may help support her progress—even small ideas we may not have considered.

Bobbie has been through so much. Now she just needs time, patience, and the chance to feel safe again 🖤🐈‍⬛🐾

Our beautiful Stevie is finally cone-free — 10 days after his huge operation to remove both of his eyes 🖤

This brave boy seems so much more comfortable and happy since his surgery. He’s finally started to relax, and seeing him content like this means everything.

We’re so proud of you, Stevie. Look at him 🐾

Bonnie’s Kittens – Adoption Enquiries Open

💖💙💙💙💙💖

We are now accepting enquiries for the adoption of Bonnie’s kittens. 4 💙 2 💖

The kittens are currently 8 weeks old. They are fully weaned, eating independently, and reliably using the litter tray.

Due to their strong bond, we prioritise homes willing to adopt kittens in pairs, as this supports their wellbeing and development.

Home checks and adoption fees apply
All kittens will be microchipped
Neutering will be carried out when they are old enough

If a kitten is adopted before reaching neutering age, adopters are required to return to our designated veterinary practice for the procedure. This is strictly non-negotiable and forms part of the adoption agreement.

If you believe you can offer a suitable home, please contact us to discuss your application. You will not be disappointed with these bundles of absolute joy.

Meet Hopper, and his broken leg 💔 🐾

Hopper came to us at around 4 weeks old with a badly broken front leg. He was found alone in a shed, with his leg wrapped in plaster of Paris and black duct tape. He was so tiny and not even eating solid food yet.

He’s already seen two vets, both of whom recommended amputation. He was even booked in for surgery… but something didn’t feel right.

After bringing him home and watching him closely, we noticed he was actually using his leg. With pain relief, he didn’t seem distressed or uncomfortable at all. So after some discussions with a good friend, we made the decision to pause and get a third opinion from an orthopaedic specialist.

Thankfully, the specialist agreed that for now, we should wait. The plan is to let Hopper grow a little more and then take X-rays to see if his leg can be saved 🤞

Hopper is such a brave, clever little boy and truly deserves a chance.

The next step is getting those X-rays done as soon as possible, but they do cost several hundred pounds. Depending on the results, further treatment will be needed to either fix or amputate the leg.

If anyone would like to contribute towards Hopper’s X-rays and initial treatment, we would be incredibly grateful. He’s now eating lots and gaining weight. Every little bit helps give this special boy the future he deserves. ❤️ see the comments for a super cute video.

🖤 Stevie update 🖤

Stevie is now home from the vets, and we’re so pleased to say his operation went well ❤️

He’s understandably a bit sorry for himself right now and very sore so he’s taking things very quietly as he starts his recovery. It’s so hard seeing him like this, but we know this surgery was the kindest decision and, in time, it will give him a whole new lease of life—free from the discomfort he’s been living with.

He’s being very well looked after by Auntie Joan, so he’s in the best hands while he heals 🐾

We would like to say an enormous thank you to all of the team at Tweed House Vets Yeadon for the dedication, care, and compassion they have shown Stevie—especially Andy, who has been incredible throughout this journey.

And thank you so much to everyone who has donated towards Stevie’s care so far—we truly couldn’t do this without you. If anyone would still like to contribute, it’s not too late, and every single donation makes a huge difference.

For now, Stevie just needs time, rest, and lots of love 💕

We’ll keep you all updated on his progress 🐈‍⬛

💔 A big update on Stevie 💔

After further discussions with the vets, it’s been agreed that the best thing for Stevie is to go ahead with surgery to remove both of his eyes.

Stevie is suffering from a complex eye condition. His lenses have moved out of place (lens luxation), likely caused by the gradual stretching of the eye due to feline glaucoma. Alongside this, he also has buphthalmos (enlargement of the eye) and mild uveitis (inflammation). While these combined factors can sometimes keep the pressure in the eye lower, they do not prevent discomfort and he is now blind with very limited, if any, vision.

Although there was initially some uncertainty, it’s now felt that removing his eyes is the kindest and most compassionate option to ensure he is no longer in pain and won’t face further complications in the future.

Tomorrow, Stevie will undergo surgery with the amazing team at Tweed House Vets, with Andy taking great care of him. While this is a big step, it will give Stevie the chance to live a comfortable, pain-free life.

He has been such a brave boy through it all, and we’re hopeful this will be the turning point he needs. Cats adapt so well, and we know he has a bright future ahead of him once he’s recovered ❤️

Please keep Stevie in your thoughts tomorrow – we’ll update you as soon as he’s out of surgery.

Thank you all so much for your continued support. If anyone would like to send a donation it would be massively appreciated.
