Mat's Cats - Street to Sweet Rescue Cats

This page will feature cats we have rescued, are fostering and/or are available for adoption. We are just a couple who love cats and do what we can.

We have been feeding, helping and doing TNR for the street cats of Taipei for about 10 years now. For the last few years we have also been rescuing and fostering as many kittens as we can to get them ready for homes and save them from the streets. We currently have four rescue cats we call our own (Mouthy, Nami, Mindy and Quinn) and have a room dedicated to fostering and housing our rescues. We don't have a lot of room, or funds, but we do what we can, rescuing one or two who need our help and we do all we can to make them strong, healthy, sociable cats ready for homes. This page will feature the kittens currently in our care as they are prepared for new homes, as well as photos of our cats and street cats we help or need to try to rescue. Any help through sharing, liking and donating is always appreciated. Let's get these cats from Street to Sweet!!!

The princess is back home and using her surgery as reason to act like an even bigger baby. A broken front tooth we hadn’t noticed until recently was causing problems in Mindy’s mouth. Surgery was needed, and after a thorough cleaning and inspection, she had nine teeth removed. Only one of her front fangs, three molars (you can see them in the back of her mouth looking nasty) and five of the very small teeth. It was a big surgery for her at 12+ years old, but her bloodwork showed really strong levels meaning beside the leukemia she’s had since birth, she’s probably one of the strongest we have.

Our vet bills this past month have been killer, so please look out for some future ‘yard sale’ style posts here as we need to really catch up on our vet bills and our everyday indoor and street cat items.

But no matter the cost, we’re glad she’s back in the pack and eating like the pig she’s always been.

❤️ Mindy

Last minute, much needed surgery tomorrow morning for Mindy. If you see me eating tea eggs and instant noodles for the next 6-8 months, you'll know why. Hopefully she's back home in a day or two.

I never thought Grandpa could get grumpier, but these pictures are peak-level grumpy face. Over a decade living on the street through typhoons, cold snaps, animal attacks, hunger, chronic kidney disease and so much more, me giving him a bath seems to have been the worst thing that has ever happened to him in his entire existence. If I could rename him just based on these pictures, he’d totally be an Oscar… both for his grouchiness and acting performance.

Day 1462 of retirement means BATH TIME!

Grandpa is a somewhat clean cat, but it’s hard for him. Others clean him, but he has a chronic runny nose that he can never keep clean. Today was just warm water and baking soda with a cloth and a soft toothbrush. He can’t fight very hard anyway, but he was pretty calm. Once he’s dry he’ll get his new calming collar and a spray down and massage with a special Burt’s Bees waterless shampoo that helps keep his fur clean and fresher smelling.

❤️ Grandpa 🚿

*yes, the bathtub needs to be cleaned. That’s next.

We made it! I’ve been told it’s strange to count the days he’s been with us, but FOUR YEARS is a huge, unimaginable milestone for him.

For a cat that never let anyone touch him outside to a couch-cuddling, sunbeam soaking, McDonalds French fry eating, loving (but demanding) indoor baby, he’s relishing in every day he’s had inside and loving every minute of it.

Even with his ailments, medications and daily injections, he’s living the life of a king, just as he deserves.

Happy 4th Year of retirement! 🎉

❤️ Grandpa

Nami doesn’t age. She’s the oldest cat at 14.5 years old in our pack (not counting Grandpa) and she’s lived with me continuously for the longest of any cat. Her coloring is the same as when she was a baby except the last two rings on her tail. It’s the only spot on her body that has turned grey and aged. I fear she and Grandpa are both Highlanders and will battle for ageless supremacy one day.

Only three legs and she still wants to relax on a yoga mat balanced on top of a laundry basket. This cat makes zero sense sometimes.

2am, heading to bed. All the cats are sleeping and happy. Then there’s this guy. Like a grumpy old troll that won’t let me go to bed without one more snack. Tonight’s toll was chicken mousse and canned tuna. He really thinks he runs the house.

❤️ Grandpa

An over ten year age difference, rescued from the same temple years apart, and a connection from the very start. Buster always protects and helps his older brother.
