Nala tragically and unexpectedly passed away this morning. My heart is in pieces. She was due to be adopted in just a few days, instead her life cut far too short. Rest in peace sweet Nala, you were so so loved 🌈❤️

🦁Booked!🦁

These cuties are 11 weeks old and almost ready to find their forever homes! Raised by their wonderful mums, Sarabi and Zira, they've grown into a playful, affectionate little pride full of personality. They will be neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and parasite treated prior to adoption. Homes in pairs will be given preference, though they could also join a home with another friendly feline companion.

Mufasa is the ringleader when it comes to playtime. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but bring out a wand toy and you'll win him over in no time. Play is definitely his love language.

Simba is a curious, sweet-natured boy who likes to supervise whatever you're doing. Whether it's housework or having tea, he likes to be involved and see what all the fuss is about.

Nala is the sensible one of the pride, a real lady. She's a little more independent than the boys, but still playful, affectionate, and always ready to join in the fun.

Kovu is equal parts cuddle bug and adventurer. One minute he's charging around with his siblings, the next he's curled up beside you for a snooze.

Kion is a total sweetheart, he gets so excited to see you that he wags his tail like a dog! Full of fun and always ready to hand out affection and purrs.

And while their cubs prepare to leave the pride, don’t forget their incredible mommas, Sarabi and Zira, who are also still searching for their forever home together. After raising five wonderful kittens as a team, they deserve their own happy ending too. ❤️

If you are interested in adopting, please message the page and complete our adoption application. Homecheck and adoption donation apply. Please share to help this beautiful pride find their forever kingdoms!

Poor Ollie also arrived during the week. Sarah rescued a feral kitten with a very obvious neurological problem and had contacted numerous rescues trying to find a place for him before she returned to the UK today. And how could he be turned away?! We are overrun with cats and kittens, we have a waiting list of cats needing help, but how, how could he be turned away?
A big thank you to Mel and Vanessa in Viking Vets for checking him over. We’ve consulted a veterinary neurologist and have a plan of action for little Ollie.

Kitten season is relentless this year. The calls keep coming in. Please be patient at this time, messages will be responded to as soon as possible.

Little Croía arrived during the week, one week old and the only survivor from a litter of four born to a feral mum who was too young, who didn’t know what do to, who should never have had kittens in the first place.
Croía came from a small back garden in Waterford city, where we TNRd 8 adult cats. But there are so many more cats in the estate. And this is the reality of kitten season. Constant breeding, needless suffering, and death.
Thank you Zach for reaching out for help, for stopping the cycle for these 8 at least. Croía has a chance now thanks to you. It has been touch and go with her, tube feeding when she was too weak for the bottle, but she’s currently doing well and just the most loving little kitten (sound up for clicky kitten purrs!).
If you are feeding feral cats please reach out for help with TNR. But we must also plead for donations, because this is just a small rescue, with no funding, and extremely limited resources. The SPCA, largest and most heavily funded rescue in the country, is no longer offering neutering vouchers, no longer running TNR programmes. So many people are messaging here having been turned away by the SPCA, and I want to help, I will help, but I need donations. You’ll find PayPal and Revolut donation links in our about section.

No enquiries for Sarabi and Zira. We know everyone wants kittens, but we have some fabulous adult cats who are just as loving and deserving of their own forever homes. Please share!

Having done an amazing job raising her last litter, today was one of our feral momma’s big day - she got to go back home to her doting carer Mary in Goresbridge! I grew quite fond of Milly during her time here, and I’m happy that she can now enjoy her retirement in her lovely home ❤️

During the week Uno, one of the many momma cats here at the moment, became a super momma by accepting 4 little orphan kittens! It was a team effort between South East Animal Rescue, Cats Trust, and ourselves to make sure these kittens had the best chance of survival after their mum was killed on the road. Thankfully all four kittens, plus her own two kittens, are doing well under Uno’s care ❤️

This is definitely the worst kitten season yet, so so many cats and kittens needing help. Please neuter your cats. If you are feeding stray or feral cats it’s important to have them neutered too.

Donations are so very appreciated at this time. You can donate via PayPal, and we have also finally gotten Revolut ()! Donations of food can be dropped into Viking Vets. Thank you!

🧡 Sarabi & Zira 🧡

These stunning little ladies have done an amazing job raising their 5 kittens together and now it’s finally their time to find their happily ever after. They have been spayed, microchipped, started their vaccines, treated for parasites, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

To say these girls love each other would be an understatement. We’re talking, head bumps, thrilling and purring to each other, tails intertwined ADORE each other! As a result they simply must be adopted together.

Sarabi is about a year old and an absolute lap cat. The second you sit down she’s curling up in your lap for a cuddle. She’s still a kitten at heart and loves to play, full of love and fun.

Zira is about 3 years old and although a little more reserved than Sarabi, she’s a total sweetheart and loves a fuss. She’s a calm, gentle lady who just wants to relax with her bestie.

They are looking for a home where they can simply be spoiled, adored, and spend their days together in comfort and love. Whoever adopts them will be incredibly lucky to experience the bond they share!

If you are interested in adopting please message the page and complete our adoption application. Homecheck and adoption donation apply. Please share!!
