🛑🐾 Today is World Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 🐾🛑

Based on research conducted by Petplan on average, 250,000 cats in the UK are involved in Road Traffic Accidents each year 😿

If you come across an animal that has been involved in an RTA, please stop and take them to the nearest vet AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - it's their best possible chance of survival if action is taken quickly.

If the animal is wildlife, please be very careful and call a wildlife charity for assistance/advice - there are a number of wildlife charities that operate within Oxfordshire.

Read all about this awareness day at CatsMatter, how they started their mission and how everyone can do their bit to help:

Some helpful tips for your cats during this week’s heatwave!

We're going to have another heatwave starting from today, so we're re-sharing some of our top tips for you all as the weather warms up yet again this summer, to help your kitties out:

😺 create some shady spots both inside and outside if they want to get away from direct sunlight
😺 Pop some lick-e-lix treats in the fridge! Your cat may enjoy them more if they are a little cooler
😺 make sure there is good ventilation in the house, however be mindful of how wide you leave your windows open, especially if your cat is indoor only. It can be much cooler to keep your curtains / blinds closed.
😺 put down plenty of water, both in the house and in the garden - a couple of ice cubes can be put in water bowls to keep the water cooler for longer
😺 don't leave wet cat food out for too long - it will attract flies!
😺 if your cat has white ears and goes outside, put a pet-safe sun screen on them
to prevent their ears burning or getting sore
😺 if you have purchased a cool mat but your cat wont lay on it, try popping it under a towel or thin blanket to encourage them to use it.
😺 please make sure you check sheds, playhouses, garages etc before closing them up in the evening - your cat or a neighbouring cat may have decided it's a cool place to catnap during the day!

❗If your cat is showing any signs of heatstroke, you must contact your vet immediately❗

Do you know what official day it is today? It's Cat World Domination Day! 😸

We know it all starts innocently enough... you may notice that your 6.30am alarm has been replaced by a 5am wake up call from your furry feline friend, who has a sudden urge that it's breakfast time now and is wailing at you as a reminder that their cat food pouch isn’t going to open itself...

Then we come to closed doors... you will discover that any closed door is considered very rude to your cat, as they must have access to every corner of your abode at all times. Especially the bathroom...

Finally, your furry feline will forfeit their posh cat beds that you spent a lot of money on, in order to take on the roles of your bedroom’s official mattress tester and chief snoozer of the sofa in the living room...

Suddenly, you come to a realisation: your cat has become the ruler of the household! 😹

One thing is certain though, they certainly rule over our hearts! 🩷

to all cats! May this day be celebrated like every other! 🐾❤️

Please consider offering a home to Loki - he has been at Four Paws for some time!
Anyone whose shared their life with a panther will know how very special they are🖤

It may be Friday 13th, but we all think black cats are lucky! 🖤So it seems like a good day for us to continue our appeal to find a forever home for our gorgeous boy Loki 🐾

Loki is a wonderful lad! He's loving, affectionate and loves to be with you. He enjoys treats, likes to play (especially with his feather wand!) climbing up on shoulders and he loves laps too!

Being our longest resident this year so far, he certainly deserves to find his purrfect human very soon bless him 💙🐾

Can you offer Loki his forever place to call home? If so, please get in touch with us via our adoption enquiry form on our website:

Flowers such as peonies, daffodils and tulips can be harmful to cats, but especially lilies; they are highly toxic!

If you are thinking of buying your loved one a beautiful bunch of flowers for Valentines Day, or you just fancy treating yourself, please consider which flowers you are buying if there are cats in the home 💐

Roses, which are most popular for Valentines Day, are considered non-toxic 🌹😸

*It's very important to ring your vet as soon as possible if your cat ingests a harmful flower or plant
