We'd like to say thank you to John, Rachel and Jenny who kindly donated all of this to us.

It is a very busy time of year for us, and we are always in need of food for the cats in our care. If you would to make a donation, please private message us and we can arrange a collection or drop off point.

Thank you again to everyone who supports us, without your help we wouldn't be able to do the work we do for the cats <3

We do love an update...

We have received an update from Gus's new owner. As you can see he is settling in very well, and is determined on assisting with the work on the laptop....

A lovely stable yard relocation

One of our longest serving residents Scotty, was relocated to a lovely stable yard yesterday.

Scotty was an unusual case for us, he is partly feral, and we spent a lot of time with him working on socialisation. However, we knew he preferred his own company rather than ours, and we were keen to get him out of his pen and into more space. Therefore, we made the decision to transfer him to a stable yard, where he will have lots of space to roam and explore! He rolled over with excitement when we told him about it!!🤣

We know Scotty will be really happy in his new environment <3

Kittens happily ever after..

Our second pair of kittens, Paddy and Pixie, went off to their forever home yesterday!

From the same litter as Pickle and Piper, they developed such loving and entertaining personalities! We can't wait for them to explore their new home.

Good luck sweethearts ♥

Kitten season is in full swing...

Kitten season is officially in full swing! These lovely little ones arrived into our care last week.

Their mum was a stray, who was luckily taken in by someone shortly after the kittens were born, so they are really friendly and have grown up in a home environment.

They are approx 10-11 weeks old, and are being vet checked on Thursday. After this they will be ready for rehoming.

As ever we rely solely on donations to allow us to continue the work we do for the cats and kittens in our care. If you would like to make a donation, you can do so following the link on this page.

What a generous donation...

We would like to say a massive thank you to Stoke Road Vets (Milton Keynes Veterinary Group) for their very generous donations today.

Today we have admitted another mum (who is possibly pregnant again!) and kittens into our care. This takes us up to a total of 30 cats and kittens in care. Therefore, we are in desperate need of adult and kitten food, if you would like to make a donation you can do so using our Amazon wishlist or message us to arrange a drop off or collection.

Thank you to all of you for your continued support.

A royal happily ever after..

Lovely Princess Pearl went to her forever home at the weekend.. all the way in Somerset!

Her owner has been kind enough to send us a photo of her settling in already.

Good luck sweetheart <3

There was a beautiful boy called Scotty

We thought it was time to share an update on our beautiful Scotty, as we haven't posted anything since the blog last month.

Scotty is still in the same foster place, and we are very slowly gaining his trust. He is between the fine line of feral and tame, and we need to ensure we are doing what is best for him in the choices we make regarding rehoming. Scotty has had a tough past, which makes it hard for him to trust people but once you spend time with him he really starts to soften and lets you give him a stroke and face rub, this is why we are determined to give him a chance to socialise with our volunteers to see if a home with humans is what he wants.

We still have a long way to go with Scotty, but we will be sure to keep you updated on the rest of his journey with us <3

Celebrating our 2 Year Anniversary!

We are proud to say we've been helping cats in Milton Keynes now for 2 years!

We had a vision to set up a local cat charity, where all funds raised went entirely on helping cats, and putting them first. Every penny donated helps cats in need. We’re really proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but we want to do even more!

Our founding trustees - from left to right: Carole, Annie, Stewart and Claire, who between them have almost 40 years’ experience helping stray or unwanted cats - work with a wonderful team of volunteers throughout the city to raise funds, help cats in need, provide foster care, and re-home.

So far, we have rehomed over 140 cats and kittens, including ferals, and pregnant and nursing queens. We've also connected with a UK-wide network to rehome senior cats and FIV+ cats, with significant success.

We’d like to thank the cat-lovers of Milton Keynes for their donations over the past two years - thanks to you we’ve been able to give so many cats the care they deserve.

Love cats? We are always looking out for new volunteers for a wide range of roles including fundraisers. All you need is a love of cats, and a passion to do what is right for each one, treating them with respect and compassion, and caring for their individual needs. Get in touch if you'd like to help out.

Second-hand items or want to give a donation? We rely solely on donations and funds raised by attending events in the community – look out for us at local events throughout 2017, and get in touch if you’d like to donate any second-hand items, money or cat supplies.

Thank you once again, from all of us, and the cats you've helped!

Princess Pearl

An update on our Princess Pearl, who is indeed a Ragdoll (well done to everyone who guessed correct). She is now reserved and hopefully will be going to her forever home at the end of this week! <3

Food for our Strays

We are working in the community with fellow feline friends to trap a couple of entire toms. 

These donations of cat food from Milton Keynes Veterinary Group (stony branch) and from Jill will be passed to those currently feeding the strays for us whilst we arrange to trap and them bring them in for neutering. Thank you guys x

Happy Update!

We've received a lovely update on Oscar and Daisy! They went to their forever home two weeks ago, and are settling in really well.

So thrilled you lovelies got your happily ever after <3

Rain - Pah won't dampen our spirits!

With two fundraising events today and some amazing donations we've raised approx. £150. 


Wolverton Yard Sale

Heron's Lodge Fun Day

A big thank you to everyone who came out to support both events today. We want to also thank Fiona and Rebecca for their recent food donations. 

Your generosity and support means we can get these little ones vaccinated and chipped ready for rehoming in a few weeks.

A knock at the door...

One of our volunteers had a knock at the door this weekend, this little beauty was on the other side with her owner, who was asking us to take her into our care. Of course, we agreed and here is Cassie!

Cassie is only 9 weeks old, and she is so lovely and incredibly friendly. Luckily, we already have someone interested in this sweet girl, therefore she is reserved pending a home visit.

Cats and kittens come into our care through all kinds of circumstances, but hopefully this little lady will find her forever home much sooner than we thought.

Our lovely boy Derek!

Our lovely boy Derek is still looking for his forever home! He is only around 4 years of age, and he should really be in a loving home he can call his own.

Derek is a friendly lad, who loves chin rubs, however he will let you know once he's had enough of fuss and wants some space. Derek needs to be the only cat in the household, and will need an experienced owner who understands he's had a troubled past, and just needs someone to give him the love and time he truly deserves.

Could you be the one to give Derek his second chance at life? contact us at mkcatrescue@gmail.com.

Our Lovely Donors!

Our three little black beauties would like to say a MASSIVE thank you, to everyone who has made food donations to us over the past week.

Thank you so much to Paul Hyton, H E Cunningham, Rachel May, Ciaran, Willow Veterinary Centres Buckinghamshire and a couple of anonymous donors.

Your donations mean we can continue to provide first hand care to the lovely cats and kittens in our care, and they find all the food VERY yummy!

With A Little Help From Our Friends

We have some lovely friends, friends who support us and who believe in MK Cat Rescue and what we do. 

Through selling items on facebook and ebay, we've just received a donation of £195.70, thank you dear friends x

If anyone else would be interested in selling items for us through facebook or ebay please contact us email mkcatrescue@gmail.com x

Lovely Charlie

The lovely Charlie is still looking for his forever home, he's been waiting for quite a while now and definitely deserves his second chance in life.

Charlie can be a little nervous when he first meets you, but once he knows you he enjoys a lap cuddle and likes to be brushed. He also loves being outdoors, so he would not suit an indoor home.

Charlie is slightly deaf, but he does not let this affect his life. You may just need to try a little harder to get his attention haha! He is a very sweet boy, who deserves his forever home.

If you would like to meet Charlie, please can you contact us at mkcatrescue@gmail.com.

Gone But Never Forgotten

Teddy came into our care in November last year. He was a senior cat that had ended up on the streets. He was a lucky boy and fell on his paws that in his retirement, Angela agreed to adopt him.   

Today his wonderful owner Angela said goodbye to him and we send our love to Angela this evening and send our thanks for opening her heart and home to Teddy. We also remember those who cared for him whilst he was in our care, Carole and Lyn - our fosterer's who are pure gold. Teddy was a beautiful chap who stole all our hearts. Determined, quiet and loving. RIP Teddy x

fundmania!

We've been fundraising every day this weekend.

A big thank you to all our volunteers this weekend, we raised a staggering £696.00! We also want to thank Carole, Calvin, George and Rosemary for their kind donations this weekend as well.
