13 cats rescued in one day!

We are always very sorry that we can’t help everybody who contacts us wanting to surrender their cats,
but there was one day in 2023 when we rescued 13 cats in one day and all before 10.30 am!

Very early that morning (about 06.30 am) one of us trapped 3 feral cats at a site near Heathrow where there is a large colony of feral cats. She dropped these off at a vet practice for neutering. The same volunteer then went to collect an unwanted mother cat and her 3 kittens. She took those to a different vet practice where another volunteer was waiting with a mother cat and her 5 kittens who had also just been picked up! 

The 3 feral cats were returned to where they came from a couple of days later – after neutering, microchipping, vaccination and a health check. The other 10 cats and kittens have now found their forever homes.

However just a few days ago we took in 2 mother cats and their combined 9 kittens.  After a health check at one of our vets they are now in 2 separate foster homes (as no single foster home had room for all 11!) and doing really well. Here is a photo of some of them cuddled up together.
