Happy New Year

No Rest For Our Volunteers!

No rest for our volunteers - here is our new foster cat OJ, brought in this morning by Stewart. OJ will need some time to settle but we're hoping 2016 will be a better year for him and we can get him a lovely new home.

Amazing Donation Day!

Yesterday was officially - amazing donation day. From friends of MK Cat Rescue organising their own collections, to clients atwww.facebook.com/willowvetcentre dropping goodies off, to us receiving donations via our Wishlist. In the picture is just a small amount of what we have received. 

Your donations will help cats like Reggie. 

A 6 year old neutered male who until recently had a home. Now unwanted he lives on someone's driveway but at least he is getting food and has shelter. Your donations mean that whilst we wait for a foster space or someone to offer him a home we can provide food for Reggie. So thank you x

Fab Weekend of Fundraising

This weekend was our final push to raise much needed funds to help us through the winter (if it ever arrives!) and also to start seriously looking at buying some cat pens which means we can get more cats off the streets....exciting !! So big thank you to Sue Nicholls, Nikki Houghton, Annie Parker, Stewart Calder, Carole Hallett, (me Claire Henesy yes I'm thanking myself :-)), Barbara Willis & Kath South for taking time out this weekend to volunteer at the stall and also a massive thank you to Fiona Nicholson and Rachel Webb for their kind donations. We raised just over £300.00 which is blinkin marvellous. 

I know it sounds corny but together we are making a difference x

Strictly's Greatest Fan

We received this lovely photo of our foster cat Tammy this morning. This is Tammy curled up last night getting ready to watch the final of Strictly.

Lovely Tammy has someone interested in adopting her so we're super excited for her.

Donation from a local Pet Supply Store :-)

UPDATE 28.12 15

We're delighted to confirm that having gotten these little ones and their mum vet checked and into a warm, safe environment both kittens have found new homes.  Mum has also not been claimed so will also now find herself a new home.

Sylvester & Marmite

On the 22 October 2015, we were asked to provide support and advice to a lady who had recently found some kittens in East Milton Keynes.  All but one (Sylvester) were friendly.  At 16 weeks old it was a worry that Sylvester couldn't be handled without a swipe or hiss often with teeth and claws included!  He would stay in his crate and would refuse to come out.  

We had a couple of phone calls with Tanya when she was trying to settle Sylvester into the family home and always tried to manage her expectations that perhaps Sylvester would suit a life outdoors....however a few weeks later we were delighted to receive this photo of Sylvester with his sibling Marmite.  

Just goes to show what dedication, trust and patience can do.

Some Sad News

It's with great sadness that we have to announce that our little ginger boy Archie lost his fight on Friday & was put to sleep. We are just thankful that he was in our care so received the love, care and treatment that he needed to relieve his symptoms.

We would like to thank Milton Keynes Veterinary Group for their support over the last week. Never easy & we want to thank Carole our fosterer for doing the feeds, vet runs & just general wonderfulness x We're pleased to say that mum Ava & her two remaining kittens are doing well. RIP little Archie x

Re-homing Now Closed For Christmas x

We've taken the decision not to rehome any cats now until 4 January 2016. We are still here to help in all other ways but our cats will stay put until the festive season is over x

Milo Update

We love hearing how our former foster cats are doing and little Milo who was found by one of our supporters and dear friend Allie has clearly settled into his new home....he's still as cute as ever!

Weekend Events & Update on our Mum in Care

We attended two fundraising events this morning in Emerson Valley and we raised £106. We've also received a rather lovely donation today both of which will help with the vet bills for Ava, our mum in care who is having a few health problems. We'll update on that once we know more but suffice to say her fosterer is now having to help with feeding her kittens whilst she gets her strength back.
