Coronavirus
Coronavirus: well we are likely going to struggle for cat food in the coming weeks. Amazon may not see cat food as delivery priority. All our trustees and some volunteers fall into the self isolation groups. Our vet bills are fully paid up to date , all fundraising events this year have been cancelled and fundraising store will likely be closed a few weeks soon. Donations of cat food can still be dropped off at store entrance as we will hopefully be able to check regularly. If you would like to support us at this difficult time donations can be made via PayPal https://www.paypal.me/CatsRUs or direct banking our account details

Sylvia
Sylvia has had a hard life before she came to us but now neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped she is waiting for a forever home. She is bit shy and nervous of strange people and situations so needs a nice quiet indoor home no dogs in safe area where in time once bonded and settled if she wanted to it would be safe for her to venture outside or a home with a catio would be ideal. If you would like to be considered to adopt her please fill in our questionnaire unless of course we know you already 😺.https://straycatsrus.blogspot.com/p/adopting.html?m=1 #catrescue#adoptdontshop #fostercatsofinstagram

Rescue news
Its kitten season and sadly to many people still don't neuter their cats which means we are overloaded with requests to help.
This little family will cost us at least £1000 to get them to full health and good condition including vaccinations and treatments please consider a donation to help. https://www.paypal.com/uk/fundraiser/charity/69204
Mum quite wild at the moment so time will tell if she will settle down.
They didn't much like being treated for parasites but all new arrivals first step to good health is getting rid of parasites.
This little family will cost us at least £1000 to get them to full health and good condition including vaccinations and treatments please consider a donation to help. https://www.paypal.com/uk/fundraiser/charity/69204
Mum and Kittens were struggling to survive outdoors in the countryside.
Our phones, messages, emails , texts are constantly asking us to take in yet more cats. We are already stretched and struggling so please understand we can’t take every cat that needs help. Time for finders to step up and look at what they can do to help. Adult cats are easily supported out doors if you provide food and shelter and larger charities supply neuter vouchers so the breeding will stop. If a mum cat has kittens at your property again provide food and a shelter and try to handle the kittens so they get used to humans and can be rehomed, remember kittens need to stay with mum till at least eight weeks. Most importantly if you are a cat owner get your cats neutered so you don’t add to the problem. If you move house and have cats then make sure you are taking them with you. Unless you can provide a safe forever home then don’t even consider getting a kitten.

Please Help
In 1998 Cats R Us faced a battle with Toys R us to keep our name, we won that battle and have helped thousands of cats since but now we face another Battle.
Summer is coming and summer sees an army of abandoned and unwanted neglected kittens needing the charity help, a registered charity we receive no government funding and rely entirely on our fundraising and kind donations from the public without a surge in donations we are going to be unable to help as many of these kittens as need us as we are running out of funds.
To secure Cats Rus can survive the Summer battle we have set up a just giving page https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/catsrus

Cats R Us already struggles just to pay the daily costs of food and litter for cats in care, ones like long stay Huwey with Pemphigus requiring daily medication, older cats like nineteen year old Buster and Snowy the white cat with cancer as well of the stream of cats that come into care who we then prepare and find forever homes for. Feral Colonies that we feed daily 365days a year there are lots of feral colonies that need that extra support we provide in feeding as well as neutering.

Sadly our fundraising store at South West Durham Business Centre , Dabble Duck, Shildon DL4 2QN which is open Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday simply doesnt raise enough funds for us to cover all cost involved in rescue and unless we get an increase in donations we are going to be unable to continue. Donations of cat food help enormously too, donate the cat food your cat wont eat, buy and extra tin of food when shopping a little bit really does go a long way as well as monetary donations.
Donations of food and items to sell can also be dropped of at our dabble duck store or at Darlington Vet clinic Faverdale who kindly help us.

We are a Registered Charity Number 1158022
We take in vulnerable, sick, injured, often distressed cats and kittens, we rehabilitate Socialise get any necessary vet treatment and prepare for new homes.
Our extensive experience means we are often able to save and nurse back to health cats/kittens where the prognosis has not been good. We work closely with other rescue charities both national and local.
We do not take in unwanted pets but on some occasions if you are looking to rehome your cat we may be able to help.

We run a successful Trap Neuter Return scheme which ensures feral colonies cease to breed and therefore thrive better.

Japan's pets have rescuers, too - USATODAY.com
Japan's pets have rescuers, too - USATODAY.com
With all the other emergencies Japan is facing, we're glad to see pets aren't being overlooked and are being taken care of during this tragic time. And in the video below, watch two dogs help each other out. Such pals!
Many people in Japan have pets and treat them like family. Treehuggerhas a great post about groups who are helping rescue pets in the earthquake areas. One of the groups, Japan Cat Network, wrote on their website:
"We are all greatly saddened and have been continually horrified by news of the devastation, following the recent earthquake here in Japan. We, the kitties at the JCN Kansai shelter, and the shelter itself, are all fine. However, we remain very concerned about the animals in the severely affected areas who may be overlooked in the midst of so much immediate need to address human concerns. We are working with two other no-kill organizations to coordinate plans for getting animals from these areas out to safety, and have already begun helping people with pets in crisis."
And as you can see in the YouTube video below (sorry no translation), the animals are looking out for each other also. Both were rescued.
The Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support group has afacebook page with more information.
READERS: Hope that the families in the vicinities where they have to stay inside because of radiation scares can find a way to keep their pets inside as well. Indoor bathrooms for all!

Felix the Feral Finder
Felix the feral finder brought another one home last night, just before bed when he came in for the night I could hear the cat howl for him, went out and fed it and will have to set trap tonight, another late night to try and get him. Felix is very territorial like all cats yet seems to have this thing about bringing young uneutered toms home!
Fist time this happened was around 4yrs ago and there has been a steady stream since even though we moved house 2yr ago this bringing home of strays continued. He certainly doesn't show the same tolerance for neighbouring cats that have a home.

Here he is thinking through his next strategy to find the lost and homeless.

Cravendale - Cats with thumbs
Cravendale - Cats with thumbs
Ever wondered why cats stare while you're pouring milk? It's because they know that it is only a matter of time... That time is the only thing between them and opposable thumbs. An army of cats with thumbs is forming and they are after your Cravendale...

Social Deprivation has a huge impact on animal welfare
Had to pick these up from a terrible situation this morning, domestic violence, squalor etc but felt so sorry for the woman as these poor cats were her only comfort she was distraught but knew son was abusing them too and council was involved because of state of house so they had to go.
No sign of Council worker who was supposed to meet us there so decided to just go in, it all went OK.
Am thankfull these cats are out of there but the human plight affect us too. Social Deprivation has a huge impact on animal welfare :-(

Feeding Ferals
Today as usual we support Ferals, let me tell you about one set of Ferals which we wouldn't really call a colony as they are a mish mash of Strays.
The old Girl Clio used to visit regularly in her youth, as there are houses nearby we knew she had a home and indeed one day spoke to her owner who told us all about Clio how old she was and everything. Now as the years have passed Clio has stayed in the warmth of the greenhouse on her favourite chair. The owner seems to have disappeared as despite us looking we couldn't trace her when Clio first showed signs of old age and needed help so we got Clio flea allergy treated and have since funded dental work for her.
There are two or three black strays who regularly turn up for food, then there is the little feral queen who a national charity spayed and helped kittens but couldn't return back to site due to it being to dangerous, she lays low but again enjoys shelter warmth and food provided.
A big Grey and white boy turned up last year looking very the worse for wear but he is a lot better now.
Today over the roof of one of the sheds sashayed a very sleek black cat wearing a posh Diamante collar, we had to smile as we debated if she had come to show it off to us all :-)

How to help Feral Cats
What does a feral need, they need food, water and shelter most of all but they also need to be spayed/neutered.
If there are Feral cats where you live then you can be sure that they will multiply and what may be a small problem today will be a huge problem in a few months.
What can you do?
A plastic dustbin with the lid off makes an ideal dry shelter for a feral, placing warm bedding and food inside will encourage the cat to go in.
If a nursing queen has kittens in one of these shelters then at five weeks old try and catch them inside the bin and take them inside to be tamed and homed.
The mother cat should be trapped and spayed as soon as possible, local councils will often provide a trap free of charge and your vet may give a discount. There are also vouchers available from the Cat Protection towards the cost of spaying.
To trap a feral you need to bait the trap with strong smelling food, normal cat food doesn't work it needs to be smelly like sardines or mackerel.
We can all make a difference by trying to help solve the problem.
"My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the
power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the
guilt." ~ Anna Sewell
