Poppy has been at the vets since her op but is now ready to come home. We are looking for a foster home for our little old lady.
Someone who can give her lots of love and attention and give her ear meds daily.
Little poppy only has an opening where her ear once was but is still enjoying life, loving her food and cuddles. She no longer has the bandages on and her wounds are healing nicely.
She would need a quiet home and a space away from other pets.
If you feel poppy could fit in to your home, until she is fully recovered then please complete the foster form in comments. All food and meds will be provided. Need to be a driver to get her to the vets of needed.

📣Special Home Needed for elderly FIV+ boy📣

Pebbles🐈

Pebbles has been with us since April last year. Although he’s tried a couple different foster homes he hasn’t yet found the right one for him. Could you be the one to offer pebbles his forever home?

Meet this sweet 16-year-old gentleman who’s ready to spend his golden years in a quiet, cozy home.

He came to us early last year after being rescued from neglect and as a result, had to have all his teeth removed and matts shaved off. He recovered well from having his teeth removed and has been in long term foster since October.

As Pebbles had all his teeth removed, he is on a medication called prednisone to prevent flareups of his gums. The prednisone is a little tablet that can be crushed up and added to his wet food or to a lick-e-lix once a day. Pebbles also needs a check up at the vet around every 6 months so that his perscription can be renewed.

Our little man is also FIV positive so will need a indoor only home. He doesnt get on with other animals so will need to be an only pet. Older children or a home with no children would be best.

Although he is a very loving boy and would make a great companion for someone, pebbles was neglected and can sometimes have hostile outbursts so he would need an understanding owner who would be willing to work with him.

He may be a senior, but he's still got so much to offer. Whether you're interested in adopting or offering a long-term foster home, he would love to become a part of your family🏡

Timothy 🐾

This little chunk came to us at the end of January having been straying for some time.

He adores his food and loves a fuss🐷

Whilst he is very friendly and enjoys attention, he can become overstimulated quite easily and will sometimes go to nip at you.

Due to the above, he will need to go to a quiet home with no young children and someone who can respect his boundaries.

He is around 7 years old.

He's neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

If you think you can handle a little love bite 🧛‍♂️ please fill out the adoption form in the comments💕

Jack 🐦‍⬛

This silly boy came in to us last week.

He had been straying for some time and since he wasn't neutered, he had been getting into fights with other cats and developed an abscess on his leg. A kind samaritan took him to a vet, where he received treatment for the abscess, and it was discovered that he is FIV positive.

He has since been neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

He's a super chilled out, gentle little dude and will make a lovely companion to someone special.

Due to his FIV status, he will need to remain an indoor-only cat and should be the only cat in the household.

We think he is around 4 years old.

🌸 Spring is Here – Let’s Prevent Unwanted Kittens! 🌸

We’re excited to share that thanks to a small grant, we can now offer some TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) services to help prevent unwanted kittens from being born outside this spring! 🐾

If you’re currently feeding a stray or feral cat and are happy to continue doing so, we can offer support with neutering and possibly help with shelter and food to ensure they can continue living the life they enjoy, safely and comfortably.

While we can’t help every cat, we’re committed to doing what we can to break the cycle and reduce the number of kittens born outdoors. 🐱

If you’d like to get involved, please complete the form linked in the comments. If the cats you're caring for would be a good fit for our sanctuary, we can also add them to our waiting list – though please note, as we’re currently full, the primary support we can offer right now is TNVR.

Together, we can make a big difference for our community cats this spring! 🌿
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working with you to help these wonderful cats. ❤️

🐾 Looking for Heroes with Haystacks – Barn Homes Wanted for Feral Cats! 🐾
Got a barn, shed, stable, or quiet outbuilding? Want a natural, eco-friendly pest control team that works for food and gives zero drama? We’ve got the purr-fect crew for you!

We’re currently looking for loving rural homes for a few fabulous feral felines who are ready to trade city chaos for country charm. These cats aren’t lap pets; they’re wild at heart, but they make amazing, low-maintenance companions from afar. Think of them as the strong, silent type… who just happen to be expert mousers.

What we need from you:
✅ A safe, secure space to keep them for the first few weeks (we’ll show you how!)
✅ Daily food & water (they work best when well-fed!)
✅ Shelter, like a barn, shed, or outbuilding
✅ Willingness to get them vet care if needed
✅ A big heart and respect for their independent spirit

What you’ll get:
🐱 Loyal little workers who’ll keep your rodent population in check
🐱 A drama-free, no-strings-attached relationship
🐱 Peace of mind knowing you're giving a cat a second chance at life
🐱 Us! We’ll help you set everything up and be there for any questions

All cats are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and wormed and ready to move in. They’re just waiting for the right country soul to give them the safe haven they deserve.
If you’re a kind-hearted human who appreciates a good mouser and respects the wild nature of feral cats, you might just be their hero.
📍 Contact us today and let’s get these little legends settled into their forever barns!

We Need Your Help🩵

Right now, we’re receiving far more surrender requests than adoption applications, and we are absolutely jam packed with cats, especially harder to rehome adult cats such as bonded pairs, oldies, FIV positive, temperemental cats and feral cats needing safe outdoor homes.

Sadly, we cannot take in any more surrenders at this time until we’re able to find more homes for the cats currently in our care. It breaks our hearts to have to say no, but we have to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the cats already with us.

We also know we’re not alone in this, other rescues are in the same boat, overwhelmed with strays and surrenders while desperately trying to find homes for the cats they already have. It’s a tough time for animal welfare groups everywhere.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time. You could be the fresh start an adult cat has been waiting for, all of our adults are neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, just needing a second chance at a loving home.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post, and if you’re in a position to adopt, please complete an adoption application today. Together we can make room for those still in need.

Adoption application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIw1hZkMMJURzpAS52UQhB-ej79Ho-MFPNrUIO7TyjgiCDsA/viewform

As always, thank you so much to everyone who supports our little sanctuary🐾💕
