Hi everyone! We are looking for some help if possible. The current 'furniture' in our rescue is starting to get quite well used (they claw everything)!
So, we are looking for any cat beds, scratching posts or cat towers that people can kindly donate or sell to us.
If you have anything, please give us a message and we might be able to pick up too. THANK YOU 💕

We are posting this on behalf of someone looking to rehome their cat.
Meet Brandy – A Loving Cat Looking for a New Home
Brandy is a beautiful, affectionate cat who is about to celebrate her 14th birthday. She enjoys a quiet life filled with gentle affection, the occasional playtime, and plenty of cosy snoozes. Her favourite thing in the world is curling up in a warm, soft spot—preferably on someone’s lap—while being stroked.
Brandy has a calm and gentle nature, making her great with children, though she would likely thrive best in a home with older kids who understand her need for a relaxed environment. She has never lived with other pets but has coped well with a visiting dog, so she might adjust to a home with a calm and friendly dog who is used to cat.
She is fully up to date with her worming, flea treatments, and vaccinations—her next booster is scheduled for this Wednesday.
Sadly, due to a new no-pets policy in her owners building, they are seeking a loving new home for Brandy. She is truly a special cat who will bring warmth and companionship to the right family or individual.
If you think you could offer Brandy the quiet, loving home she deserves, please get in touch!

**MJ has gone to her forever home 💕** MJ is still looking for her forever home, now all her kittens have found their homes and families, MJ is desperate to find somewhere for herself.
We could not reccomend her enough, she's incredibly sweet, very good with everyone, including children! However, no other cats or dogs please. She is looking for somewhere she can get lots of attention and somewhere/ someone to cuddle up to.
She is fully vaccinated, flead, wormed and has been spayed.
Please share the post and spread the message for MJ, someone so sweet deserves the best home with constant love 💕

**These two have gone to a wonderful forever home together** These two absolutely beautiful kittens are Miles (black) & Blossom (white). They are a brother and sister ready to find a loving home for life.
These two are just under 3 months old, and are like most kittens, very playful, very hungry, but the most adorable little fluffs ever. We are looking for somewhere that can take them both together, because they LOVE to play with eachother and we don't want to split them up. They will not be ready to go to their forever homes until the 9th of September.
They come vaccinated, flead & wormed. If you are interested in giving them a loving home, please send us a message telling us about yourself and home life and we will get back to you as soon as we can. 💞
MJ their beautiful mum is also ready for adoption, she's such a sweetheart. Please see our other post about her 💕

** MJ has a wonderful forever home ❤️** This beautiful lady is MJ, and she is looking for a loving home where she can be spoiled and loved. MJ is such an adorable girl, she is around 3 years old. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell you about it (maybe a little bit of the naughty torti coming out), but she is so kind natured and just all round an amazing cat. Whoever decides to give MJ a forever home will be very lucky to have her.
She loves to play and like most cats, loves food! She also loves to have lots of attention and strokes/ kisses. We think she will be best suited to homes where there are no other pets (dogs & cats), but is completely fine with children of all ages.
MJ has been neutered, chipped, vaccinated, flead & wormed and is ready to go to a home as soon as possible 💕

Today is a special day in our sanctuary, and we’re having a little party to celebrate. It has been 3 years since we did a major rescue taking 14 cats from a horrendous hoarding/breeding situation that was out of control with over 50 cats in total and bringing them to our sanctuary where they could feel safe. We had two pregnancy’s after the rescue resulting in 18 little lives total they are: Lucy, Thomas, Obsidian, Simon, Tabatha, Belle, Squirrel, Rosie, Pancake, Waffle, Crêpe, Jock, Wolfie, Bruce, Beastie, Isobel, Teddy and James.
After 3 years we still have 6 of them, when we arrived to rescue them we found 8 cats locked in two bird cages with no food, water or litter trays, they were stood in their own waste and terrified. All of the 6 that we still have were the ones in these cages and they have all been severely mentally damaged by their upbringing. After 3 years most of them are still scared of being touched but we are very understanding of the trauma they have been through and we love them unconditionally.
So let me tell you a bit about them:
** Wolfie found a wonderful forever home ** First we have Wolfie, she does like to be stroked on her terms of course but her favourite thing is food, especially chicken! She is the cheekiest little lady, constantly trying to steal food and running away with toys so she doesn’t have to share! One of her favourite things to do is smell and sit on shoes… we don’t know why.
** Beastie has found a wonderful forever home ** Next up Beastie, when you have 14 identical cats you begin to come up with strange names! Bestie got his name because he was very temperamental when we first rescued him. He was very angry and we couldn’t figure out why. One day when he was playing we saw a glimpse of metal and bribing him with treats we were able to feel around his neck and found a collar, this collar was far too tight, put on him as a kitten, it had no release and his fur had grown around it, the collar was constantly choking him making him understandably angry. We cut the collar off and his mood instantly changed. Since that day Beastie has never shown any aggression and is now the princess of the group. Bestie will tolerate a few strokes but mainly wants food and naps. It’s hard being so beautiful!
Next up Isobel, she is incredibly funny with her facial expressions, if we start singing along to music in the sanctuary she’s like a horrified teenager embarrassed of their parents. When we first got her she had the worst tummy issues, to the point where she had to be shaved. Through trial and error we found that chicken and grain free biscuits made her feel much better. Isobel will accept strokes whilst eating and enjoys staring at you from a far, most likely for more treats. She also has a sweet spot for Bestie and will often be found near him.
Waffle is the little gentleman of the group. He enjoys playing with his brother Crêpe but has taken a long time to understand cat toys, he is still a little nervous playing with string toys but bouncing balls and cat nip are his favourite. Waffle avoids strokes at all costs however once you are stroking him he very often enjoys it.
Crêpe, the smallest and most worried of all. His face constantly has a worried expression but it’s actually very cute! He is very nervous but once he’s comfortable with you he will play and have a few strokes, he’s very attached to his brother, letting his brother explore first so he can let him know that’s it’s okay. He loves to sniff everything and enjoys playing, eating and being with his brother.
And now for the drama, Pancake, Panny as we call her. Easily the most dramatic cat you will ever meet. Her favourite thing to do is sit next to me on her cat tower, stare and heavy breathe, we have learnt over the years that this is how Panny shows affection. She very opinionated with her face and we get to hear about it if dinner isn’t ready on time. Pancake was one of the cats who had babies, Teddy and James. She had a difficult birth as two kittens were in the same sack and she couldn’t get them out alone. We rushed her to the vets where she had an emergency C-Section. The vets told us that she would need to stay the night before coming home, within an hour I had a phone call asking me to pick her up as she was causing chaos on the ward in true Pancake style. Pancake was barely a year old when she had her kittens, she was still a baby herself and struggled. During that time Panny grew to trust us more and we have a very special bond because of it. Panny isn’t keen on other cats and likes to keep to herself. She loves treats and will accept a few strokes with bribes. She enjoys playing but needs a little time to warm up to the toy before she destroys it.
We love each and every cat that comes into our rescue and they will have a safe space for life should they need it. Whilst these babies may not like being touched too much they do like humans, when we are in the sanctuary they are always near us, it’s like they want to be with us but are too nervous of what could happen if they let their guard down. We believe that eventually they will all learn to relax and can come around with the right support. If you would like to take on the challenge of adopting one of our special cats please get in touch. We would love for them all to find an understanding home of their own with a family who will love their unique qualities and personalities like we do.

All 4 of our kittens have now gone to their forever home. Thank you so much for all your support ❤️
Anthony, Hyacinth, Benedict & Eloise. These 4 little kitten criminals are still looking for somewhere to call home. Be aware these bandits are masters in lap cuddles, loud purrs and eating.
They are ALL adorable and would make such an amazing addition to any family. All of them are neutered, vaccinated, flead & wormed. All they need now is a home they can make their own after spending the beginning of their life outside with no one.
So if you or someone you know can help wrangle these smol criminals in and give them the love they so deserve and will reciprocate, PLEASE message us 💕

These 4 extremely cuddly kittens are still looking for a new home. For such small things, they have the biggest of hearts. As you can see they love to cuddle!
All 4 of them, Benedict, Hyacinth, Anthony & Eloise are fully vaccinated, flead, wormed and now neutered. All they need is somewhere they can call home and a family they can cuddle and grow up with.
Any of them will be the best addition to a family, bringing love, laughter and some kitten craziness.
If anyone has any questions, please message us. Or if interested, tell us a little about yourself 💕

Fizzy’s safe haven cat rescue is a small, newly opened cat rescue. Based in Swindon, Wiltshire. Run by two people who absolutely adore cats, of all shapes, sizes, colours and ages. And have always had a cat of our own. The rescue is based out of our own house and therefore space is very limited. Everything they need is brought out of our own pocket or donations that have been amazingly donated to us. We pride ourselves on giving the best care we can for our fosters.
What are our aims?
Unfortunately there are a lot of cats that end up stray, living on the streets, or are born feral (some have never even seen a human before). So we aim to help those poor kitties by providing them with somewhere safe, warm and clean. We look after them, rehabilitate them and provide endless love. We also give them the start of their vaccinations and vets check overs. They get flead and wormed. Once these cats are ready to go to their forever homes, we will start looking for someone suitable who can provide them with the love they deserve. But this process will not be rushed. The kitties will only be available to be homed when THEY are ready. This can mean we have some that stay for a while.
How can you help?
We truly appreciate all the support we can get from people. If you have any of the following you no longer want/ need or would like to help. Please send us a private message and we would be more than happy to take them:
Old towels, bedding, blankets.
Cat/ kitten food. Wet or dry.
Bags of litter.
Toys.
Food or water bowls.
As previously mentioned everything, including all vets bills are paid for out of our own pockets. We will ALWAYS try and help the kitties and they always come first. But funds can be tight and vets bills can soon add up. So at times, if really needed we may start a funding campaign.
I’m looking to rescue a cat, how do i do it?
Firstly, AMAZING. Rescuing will be the best decision ever. Adopt don’t shop is a motto that means so much to us. You are providing a loving home for a little soul that may otherwise be left to fend for itself. And in return, that soul will give you endless love, laughs and companionship. The best thing to do, is to send us a direct message. We can show you all the rescue cats we have at the moment. Then you can either wait until they are ready to be homed, remember this can take some time. Many of the cats we have start out feral. Or if they are already waiting to go, you can come visit and meet them. We want the best for our fluffs, so will carry out home checks and ask some questions. Just to make sure they are going to the right place.
I know of a cat that needs rescuing!
As previously mentioned, we are a super small cat rescue and sometimes take time in rehabilitating our current residents, ready for their forever homes. So we will not take it any new cats until there is space and time for them. With that being said, please send us a message and if we do have space, we will try our best to rescue said kitties. We have traveled as far as Birmingham to rescue before, but ideally would support local populations. If not, we can offer some advice and support in what to do.
