Cats Needing Sponsorship
Updated 21 Apr 08
| Older cats, with conditions such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism, are almost impossible to home, and we are lucky in that we do have a couple of Fosterers who are happy to adopt these cats as sponsored cats. The Fosterers officially adopt the cats from the Branch and they are integrated with the Fosterer’s own cats. They provide food and cat litter, and care for the cats on a day-to-day basis, but we pay all subsequent vets bills. Most of these cats don't incur huge vet bills, but of course the treatment is ongoing; sometimes for many months, and occasionally for years. We feel very strongly that older cats should have the same chance as younger ones; to live out their lives in safety and comfort. However, to enable us to continue to help sick and elderly cats we need to raise funds. You can help by sponsoring a cat in long-term care Without your help we will, in the future, really struggle to sponsor cats in long-term care, and those needing ongoing treatment. Please help us to help them. See below for cats that need sponsorship. What about the ideal gift of a cat-loving friend or relative? See here. A standing order form is available for download here . If you could offer even a few pounds' sponsorship each month for an older cat, we could ensure these cats have a future with one of our Fosterers; living out the rest of their lives in a home situation. If you are interested in sponsoring a cat needing long-term care please contact Carol for further details at sponsorship@mkcats.org.uk or drop us a note though our contact page. |
CATS NEEDING SPONSORSHIP ARE:
|
Lionel is a shorthaired tabby male and is probably around 12 years of age, although it is difficult to say. He could look older than he is due to his struggle to survive as a stray. |

 Tilly
Tillie is a longhaired tabby-and-white female, about 10 years young. She came in as a frightened and feisty farm kitten with seven brothers and sisters. She was very difficult to handle and therefore unable to home. An attempt was made, but she was very unhappy and wouldn’t eat properly, so came back to Stewart. She has been in his care ever since. Tillie is a bit of a worrier and gets a bit jumpy at the least movement in the house. She loves a fuss however, and will purr like the best, but is never completely happy sitting on your lap. She’s a shy little lady, and would rather hide from strangers than say hello. She gets on very well with Stewart’s other cats, and loves going out and about. Tillie hasn’t been well lately and will probably have to visit the vet’s soon for a dematting session! |
 Flora
Flora is a small but perfectly formed 18 month old grey-and-white shorthaired female. She was born outdoors and had to be trapped with 4 other kittens. She went to the RSPCA for
rehoming, but came back with three others because she didn’t tame very well. Her brother, who was one of the four to come back, unfortunately had to be put down due to an untreatable problem, and she is now being fostered by Stewart. Flora is quite friendly and loves a fuss on her terms, but would sooner run away from people than stop for a cuddle. She seems to prefer the company of other cool cats, and loves to rub up against the older felines she shares a home with, sometimes much to their annoyance! Flora suffers from recurring mouth and gum problems and needs to visit the vet regularly. This is easier said than done, as the sight of her pet carrier causes her to run off and find a hiding spot. She needed a complete dental treatment, which hopefully will sort her problem out for good!. |
 Puck
Puck is a 2,5 year old longhaired black-and-white male, whose owner couldn’t cope with his constant diarrhea and the associated vet bills. After several medical treatments, his condition is now under control, but not cured. Because of his need for ongoing medical care, Puck will stay into foster care with Stewart. Puck is a bit of a night owl and loves the great outdoors, where he socializes with the neighbourhood cats. He isn’t always so tolerant with the other cats living with Stewart, and will make sure they know when they’re in his way. Although not a lap cat, he is an affectionate boy and even answers to his name! He loves to sleep on his back with his legs in the air, but when he thinks it’s time for Stewart to get up in the morning and feed him his favourite “As good as it gets”, he’ll jump on the bed and starts purring loudly in his fosterer’s ear! |
| Mystery Moggie
Would you like to sponsor one of our felines, but can’t choose between all those cute furry faces? Why not make it easy for yourself, and pick our “Mystery Moggie”! We will then choose one of our cats for you, who we think is most in need of your help. You will receive a photo and details of your sponsored charge in your welcome pack, and an update every three months.
