Trapping request for abandoned cat....

A woman rang one of the Leeds charities asking if we could help a cat which had either been kicked out of some flats in Leeds, or got lost as it was friendly and she was feeding it. She aaid one of her relatives would be happy to give it a home if we could trap it and get it to the vets.

No problem. It took a couple of days as she wasn't always around, but a slow patient approach saw her safely trapped and off to the vets:



Here she is her new home, with her new name, Pickles. A happy ending for the little girl... I love it when a plan comes together!

Garden Center cats

The two young cats whom Clive at the garden center kindly befriended and were placed with Yorkshire Cat rescue are fine. I began the task of trapping some of the other cats. A couple of the guys were really tame and you could stroke them, so much so we just picked them up and put them in a carrier! Both were TNR'd and one of the guys got re-homed pretty shortly afterwards.

In the mean time , some kind person dumped ANOTHER cat over their fence, this time another youngster. Again, tame and obviously been a household pet as was used to people. We worreid it could be a female, but as it tunred out it was a male. he's gone back and is settling in nicely... here he is, total cutie:


One of the other ginger cats I had planned on trapping was sadly run over on the main road a couple of days before, but we still had a big black fella to sort out. This was the one that would always run into the trap and steal all the food when were were trying to get the young girl back in June, so I assumed he wouldn't be a problem. As it turned out, he wasn;t, some tasty sardines in the trap and in he went:

MIA...

Sorry, life has been getting in the way of posting lately..

Yes, I have been working, but in between everything else haven't updated the blog as often as I should have. Got about 4-5 jobs and things to post, which I'll do today and tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks for caring!
