🐾 694 DAYS AND NIGHTS.

694 days of waiting.
694 days of hoping.
694 days of watching other cats find their homes while Flame and Frost are still waiting for someone to choose them. 💔

These two beautiful souls came into rescue after spending the first 10 weeks of their lives living on the streets, amongst piles of rubbish. They have known fear, uncertainty and the upheaval of rescue — but what they haven't yet had is a home where they can simply be themselves.

🔥 FLAME

Flame is still a very nervous girl. She is the kind of cat who will sit in the same room as you and allow you to look at her. She will even take food gently from your hand.

But touching? Not yet. ❤️

And that's okay.

Flame doesn't need someone who expects instant cuddles. She needs someone who will sit with her, talk to her, and let her decide when she's ready. She needs someone who will celebrate the tiny steps.

❄️ FROST

Frost is nervous at first too, but once you've earned his trust, you discover a completely different side to him.

He absolutely loves what we call “Frosty cuddles.” 🥹❤️

He has so much love to give once he feels safe enough to show it.

🐱 HEALTH

Both Flame and Frost are healthy cats.

Flame had a temperature for a few days when she was young but has been absolutely fine since.

Frost has an overproduction of tears, which means his eyes can become quite crusty, but this is easily managed with a gentle clean.

❤️ 694 DAYS IS A VERY, VERY LONG TIME FOR A CAT.

We know these two aren't going to be the easiest cats to settle into a home.

But we're not looking for someone who wants “easy.”

We're looking for that special person who can say:

“Take all the time you need. I'm not going anywhere.”

Someone willing to let them settle in their own time.
Someone willing to let them show you who they really are.
Someone who understands that trust isn't always built in a day — sometimes it's built one tiny moment at a time.

Because when you give a nervous cat the time and patience they need, something incredibly special can happen.

They start to trust you.
They start to feel safe.
And eventually… they show you just how much love they've been waiting to give. 🥹❤️

Could Flame and Frost finally be the pair you've been waiting for?

After 694 days, we desperately hope there is someone out there willing to give these two the chance they've been waiting for.

🏠 Please share. Their person has to be out there somewhere.
❤️ Flame & Frost are still waiting.

🚨 URGENTLY NEEDED — FUNDRAISING VOLUNTEERS 🚨

We urgently need fundraising volunteers for the upcoming Christmas period. 🐾❤️

One of our amazing volunteers has been given an operation date for their child, who needs surgery to remove an angioleiomyoma with dystrophic calcification tumour from underneath their toe. Understandably, this means we will lose two of our fundraisers for around 8–12 weeks.

Then, just to add to the challenges, the great British weather decided to do what it does best! 🌧️ One of our biggest fundraisers at Houghton Rocks was rained off last Saturday. We would normally expect to raise around £400 there, but last week we made just £75.p

And all of this happened during a week when we took in 11 — yes, ELEVEN — dumped cats and kittens from the vets. 😿

💔 Fundraising is our only source of income.

Christmas is an incredibly busy and important fundraising period for us, and what we raise over Christmas needs to help carry the rescue through until April next year.

Sadly, we haven't even managed to organise our Christmas raffle this year. The wonderful lady who did such an amazing job with it last year has had to step back at the moment, and with health issues and children needing constant doctors' and hospital appointments, we simply haven't had the time to put one together.

And the reality is, there seems to be no end in sight for anyone in rescue at the moment.

Just today, we have once again been asked to help 7 cats, most of whom have kittens of various ages. 🐱🐱🐱

We are a small rescue compared with some, but we are constantly out fundraising and doing everything we can to keep helping the cats who desperately need us.

So we're asking you:

❤️ Could you give up one Saturday — or maybe two Saturdays a month — for the next few months?

If you drive, that's fantastic, as we also have wonderful volunteers who don't drive and need help getting to fundraising events.

You don't need to be an experienced fundraiser. You just need to be willing to give a little of your time to help us continue saving cats.

🙏 If you think you could help, please contact us via this page or through our website.

We are really hoping that some of you will look in the mirror and think:

“Yes. I can spare a Saturday. I can help.”

Because every hour you give could help us raise the money needed to feed, care for and save another cat.

🐾❤️ Please help us to help them.

If you can volunteer, please get in touch. We desperately need you.

🐦 Sparrow — 6–7 Months • Our Little Baby Girl 🐦

Meet our sweet Sparrow — this precious little girl came into our care after being found all alone on the streets 💔 She’s just a baby herself — only 6–7 months old — and yet she has had kittens. None were ever found, and our hearts break thinking what this tiny youngster went through, all alone and so young 🥺



🐾 All about Sparrow:

- 🐦 Approx 6–7 months old — still just a baby!
- 💔 Found wandering the streets, fending for herself
- 🍼 She has had kittens — none were ever found. Far too young to have gone through all that 💔
- 💛 Now safe, warm, and learning what love and security feel like
- 🥰 Still full of kittenish fun, gentle, and ready to be someone’s beloved little girl

She’s been through so much already — way more than any baby should have to face. But she’s brave, she’s sweet, and she has her whole beautiful life ahead of her 🤍 All she needs now is a loving forever home where she’ll never be cold, hungry, or alone again.



She was out there all alone — now she deserves to be loved like the precious baby she is. 🏡

- 🐱 Found alongside her 6 babies — and she has been the most wonderful, devoted mum to every single one of them
- 💛 Now her little ones are growing — and Berry has done her duty. It’s finally HER time. No more babies, no more streets — just love, comfort, safety and happiness, only for her

She’s gentle, grateful, and just so ready to be cherished properly. After years of looking after everyone else, she deserves a warm bed, full bowls, endless pets — and a home she never has to leave 🥹

🐾 This Week at T.A.C.O — Our Hearts Are Full (and Very Busy!) 🐾

What a week it’s been 💛 We’ve opened our doors wider than ever, and our rescue family has grown in the most beautiful — and chaotic — way!



🐱 Mama & Her 6 Babies — Found Abandoned 💔

First, we welcomed a beautiful mum and her 6 tiny babies, all found abandoned — left with nowhere safe to go. This sweet mum is absolutely lovely — so gentle, trusting, and already letting us help care for her little ones. Her babies though? 😂 They’re a little bit spicy — full of beans, feisty, and have so much attitude already! Tiny mighty things who know exactly what they want — and aren’t afraid to tell you! 💥😼



📦 3 More Babies — Left in a Box in the Park 🥺

As if that wasn’t enough, we then took in 3 more precious little ones — found all alone in a cardboard box, left in a park. Just tiny, helpless, and waiting for someone to notice them. But they’re safe now — warm, fed, and loved.



Total this week? 10 kittens + 1 devoted mum = 11 new lives we’re caring for 🐾

They’re all safe, warm, and getting everything they need — but every single one needs food, litter, bedding, vet checks, and so much more. 💛

🛒 Want to help easily? Donate straight to them via our Amazon Wish List — items come right to us!
