We sent another donation of cat food yesterday for the stray cats and cat rescues in Ukraine where so many cats have been left to fend for themselves due to the war. This donation will be taken over to Ukraine by volunteers in a couple of weeks.
Thanks to everyone who donates food to us for making this possible.

Our cat food donation bin is situated behind the tills in Tesco Extra Talbot Green. We will also collect donations locally where needed, just drop us a message, thanks.

A big thank you to Tesco Talbot Green for this very generous donation of cat biscuits. We really appreciate the help and support.

Our food donation bin is behind the tills for anyone who has any food their fussy cats won’t eat

Our new guest saw the vet yesterday. He is unneutered and not microchipped. The lump on his neck is a tumour but it’s mobile so can easily be removed. Will need to be tested to determine if it’s cancerous. He’s only young, the vet estimates between 2-4 years of age.

As you can see he’s not under the furniture any more but still very wary.

There’s no aggression but he freezes around people. Will put up with being handled or fussed but is very scared. He’s made good progress though, coming out of hiding so I’m hopeful it won’t take too long before he can relax and start to trust people again.

I’ll be booking him in soon for surgery for lump removal and neutering.

We had a rare rescue space, freed up by Bean and Shadow finding their home. The space was of course immediately filled, it’s really hard choosing which cat we will take when there are so many in desperate circumstances, so many phone calls every day.
This boy has come to us today. He has an open wound on the side of his neck - I can’t tell if it’s a huge abcess or a tumour. He is booked in to see the vet on Monday.
He’s come from the streets of Mountain Ash. He’s very timid, it’s clear some humans have been unkind to him. Luckily he ended up in the right garden where a kind man fed him and contacted us for help,
It took him a long time to come out of the carrier and now he is hiding behind the furniture.

This is horrific but sadly not the only incidence we have heard about recently.

Warning To Cat Owners Across South Wales After Thistle Loses Leg In Illegal Trap 💔😿

Cat owners across South Wales are being urged to remain cautious after young Thistle was caught in an illegal trap in the Llanrumney area, suffering horrific injuries which meant her front leg could not be saved.

Thistle has now had her leg amputated and is recovering well with the support of her veterinary team. ❤️🐾

Her rescuers are facing a veterinary bill of more than £1,000 and are appealing for donations to help with her lifesaving treatment and recovery.

Thistle’s heartbreaking story is also a reminder of the dangers that illegal traps can pose to cats and other animals.

If you come across a suspected illegal trap, do not touch or move it. Take note of the exact location and, if it is safe to do so, take photographs from a safe distance.

Suspected wildlife crime can be reported to South Wales Police. If an animal has been injured or is suffering as a result of cruelty, the RSPCA can also be contacted on 0300 1234 999. If a crime is happening right now or someone is still at the scene, call 999.

Please share this warning with other cat owners across South Wales and help keep our pets safe. ❤️

We haven’t had many good news days recently but today is definitely a good day. Bean and Shadow are off to their new home this evening.

We are so pleased to see these two go off to a lovely home, especially after a false start a few weeks ago where we had a home lined up for them, homecheck carried out and then it fell through last minute.

Now they are staying local - off to a lovely home in Pontyclun where I know they will be loved and happy.

Looking forward to lots of updates as they settle in. Good luck Bean and Shadow x

This subsidised neutering scheme is currently running.
Rescues everywhere are full to bursting, we simply can’t keep up with the increase in numbers of cats needing rehoming or rescuing off the streets.
Please get your cats neutered - including indoor only cats (they escape and come home pregnant or after impregnating other people’s cats).
Sadly, kittens being born into the current situation cannot be guaranteed good homes. There’s just too many cats and kittens, not enough homes.
For every litter of kittens born, there are stray cats who cannot be brought into rescue.

🐾 GOOD WELFARE STARTS AT HOME - NEUTER YOUR CAT

We haven’t had a large response from the original areas, and we still have some of the grant remaining. Because of this, we are now opening the scheme up to residents in the Port Talbot and Neath areas as well.

We’re grateful to have received a grant from Petplan Charitable Trust UK, allowing us to support a limited number of owned cats with subsidised neutering.
This scheme is available to low‑income households (under £28,000) living in:
Blaengwynfi, Abergwynfi, Croeserw, Glyncorrwg, Abercregan, Cymmer, Caerau, Cynonville, Pontrhydyfen, Cwmafan and now also Port Talbot and Neath.

You must also be able to get your cat to Swansea Cat Clinic, Llansamlet, and payment is required upfront to book your cat in.

💷 What the Scheme Covers
Neuter or spay: £40
Optional microchip: +£10
This support is only available for owned cats.

📩 How to Apply
Please complete our Neuter Application Form:
https://forms.gle/5JDy4gc4TBVuW8Dt5
Once we receive your form, we’ll be in touch with further information and your unique reference number, which you’ll use to book your cat in.

🐱 Why These Areas?
We originally focused on the communities closest to the sanctuary due to a significant rise in outdoor litters and unneutered cats being surrendered. As uptake has been lower than expected, we’re now extending support to Port Talbot and Neath to help prevent further suffering and reduce the number of cats needing rescue.
Thank you for helping us tackle this issue at its source and supporting responsible pet care in our valleys

We have a new bank account.

Back in 2021 when we first opened a bank account, the big banks had stopped offering charity / community accounts due to fraud during the pandemic. Because of this I opened our rescue account with Starling, one of the few banks offering community accounts at the time. The Starling bank account worked fine for us but this year Starling decided they no longer wanted community accounts and so we were given notice to move our account.

It took me longer than expected to open the HSBC account which means the Starling account closed before the HSBC account was up and running. This meant that we lost the couple of regular direct debit donations that had been going in every month.
Today I’m sharing our new account details in the hope of replacing those regular donations and maybe even a couple more!

There is no better way to support us than a regular monthly donation. It doesn’t have to be much - £10 per month is great. It helps us so much to know we have some regular income that we can use towards regular expenses like public liability insurance.

So here are our new bank details:

Regular or one off donations welcome.

As we are entirely run by volunteers, all monies raised goes towards helping stray cats and kittens.
