We waved bye bye to the lovely Maisie earlier this week; she's heading off to live in Dunstable and we wish her a long and happy life.  

We waved bye bye to our love bug Milo on Friday, 23 October 2015 and received some lovely photos of Milo firstly being collected by his new owner and then all nice and snuggled up that evening in his new home.

We're delighted that he has settled in so well and wish him all the very best in his new home.

So we just hit 700 likes on our facebook page.  And we are getting more views on our blog so thank you from all of us at MK Cat Rescue for your support, feedback and encouragement. This week we've raised £118 which will help us neuter two male cats that are currently on the streets and to get some more kitten food for our current residents. We were delighted this week to also collect our new zoodies......modelled rather unprofessionally by Annie and Claire at this morning's car boot.

FIREWORKS

FIREWORKS

Every year so many animals get scared when fireworks are let off and often there is a large influx of cats that escape or find themselves lost having been scared by fireworks. 

So our top tips:

·   Make sure your cat is microchipped and your contact details on the chip are up-to-date.

•  ·  Keep them in after dark
• ·   Try to avoid leaving your cat on its own – whilst they may not want you fussing around them they will feel safer if you are at home.
• ·   If you have to leave the house leave a radio or tv playing to drown out the display
• ·   Keep all windows, curtains, doors and cat flaps closed/locked.
• ·   Feed your cat before the fireworks start, a full belly may help them feel clam and tired
• ·   Think about investing in Feliway (releases calming pheromones into the air which help comfort your cat)

Whilst trying not to be a bunch of party poopers; this is the law on fireworks:

• ·   You must not throw fireworks (including sparklers) in the street or other public places
• ·   Fireworks cannot be set off after 11pm and 7am.  Only exception is Bonfire Night itself when the cut off is midnight or New Year Events.
• ·   Fireworks are on sale from 15 October to 10 November, 26 to 31 December and 3 days before Diwali and Chinese New Year

We're delighted to be holding out first Quiz :-) Teams are filling up fast which is great news.

We've managed to find a temporary foster space for a mum and four kittens who were found in someone's back garden (three of the kittens are in the pictures) but we also now have an expectant mother in our care.....

If anyone can donate some kitten food it would be much appreciated. Donations can be made via our wish list on Amazon or we would be happy to come and collect. Thank you

We're delighted to be receiving such positive feedback on how we are presenting our volunteering on facebook,twitter and on here. We were even more delighted when this lot landed on our door step this morning - a wonderful donation of recording equipment which means we can give you even more insight into the cats in our care and the cat work that we do out in the communities.

It's was a little chilly this morning at 7am when we set up at one of our local car boots in Milton Keynes but we raised just under £50 which will pay for two cats in our care to be neutered.  So the early start was well worth it
