Kittens, kittens, everywhere…..

· by · in

As I think I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, I follow quite a few rescue organisations on social media. There are always plenty of sad stories and updates of happy endings for cats passing through their care. But one thing I’ve noticed this year is the huge increase of posts about kittens being either born in rescue or being brought in with nursing mothers.

Here are a few examples of kittens that have recently found homes, or are seeking them some of the organisations.

8 Lives Rescue, Sheffield:

This is just some of a little family that arrived at  8 Lives with their nursing mum. They  are old enough to go to new homes now; in fact, some are lucky enough to already be settling in at theirs.

Teamcat Rescue, Birmingham:

In the last week of May, Teamcat Rescue took in two litters of kittens. This cheeky bunch are currently being fostered by a volunteer and are growing up fast. They’ll be available for new homes  from the 10th June, so it’s worth contacting the rescue to note interest if you’d like to adopt a feline family member.

Streetkatz Rescue, West Kent & East Sussex:

This rescue focuses on helping stray and abandoned cats in their areas. Luckily for this mum and her young, Streetkatz were able to care for them and ensure their health and safety until they were ready for rehoming which should be very soon.

Roxies Rescue, Leicestershire & Warwickshire:

A fosterer of Roxies is currently caring for  these two tiny, but determined little characters (affectionately dubbed Bear and Tiny) along with their mum. Obviously, due to health concerns there are no immediate plans to place these two up for adoption, as medical care is ongoing.

New Hope Rescue, Kent:

This group of young tearaways recently came in to New Hope and are thankfully thriving with them. It’ll be a little while before they’re available for adoption, but at present they’re all seeming to do remarkably well.

Adopting from a rescue may seem a little costly sometimes. But good rescues assess each cat or kittens temperament, ensure vet checks and address any health issues before rehoming. They also usually include each cat or kitten is spayed/neutered, chipped and vaccinated in their adoption charges. If you want to know more about any of the rescues featured in this blog, you can find regular updates for them and ways you can help to continue their good work on most social media platforms, or by visiting the main sites.
