Making a difference, one paw at a time
At Special Paws Cat Rescue, we are dedicated to giving every cat a second chance at a loving home. Many of the feline friends we welcome into our care have faced unimaginable hardships, arriving with health issues, special requirements, or simply in need of extra TLC. Your support helps us provide the vital care they deserve. Discover our current appeals and how your generosity can transform a life.
Nourishing futures: Food & essential supplies
Here at Special Paws, we often take in cats who have known nothing other than living on the streets. Because of this, they often have health issues, special requirements or require that extra bit of TLC. Due to the amount of cats in our care, we frequently post food appeals on our social media outlets. As well as food, we go through an awful lot of litter, beds, toys amongst other items. We are constantly on the lookout for the best deals so any funds and donations can stretch as far as possible, ensuring our cats receive the best care.
Healing paws: Vital vet care
Some cats in our care require that extra bit of love from our amazing vets. Whether it be a health check, a little boost in the form of medication, spaying/neutering, or more severe operations, the next cat through our doors could cost thousands in vet fees. We aim to be as prepared as possible for these critical situations, as prompt veterinary attention can be the difference between life and death. Your support for our vet fund ensures we can always provide urgent medical care.
Your impact: Every bit helps
We appreciate each and every donation, no matter how small; even just £1 goes a long way. The more people who donate, the more cats we can take in and provide them a brighter, pain-free future. We only ask for financial support from our followers in the most severe of cases. We often have kitties coming into our care who require operations, which can cost thousands. We don't shy away from these severe cases, as every cat deserves a chance. Your help is needed now to ensure these urgent needs are met.
Vixen
Vixen recently joined us here at Special Paws after being contacted for help. Upon her arrival with us, her amazing foster swiftly assessed her condition and concerns arose. She was taken straight to her local vets for a health check where numerous concerns was further confirmed.
Vixen has suffered from a flea infestation causing irritation to her skin, and affecting her beautiful golden coat on her rear end. For this, our vets have placed her on steroids, applied flea treatment and provided her some pain relief.
Further to this, poor Vixen had severe dental issues. Her mouth was full with rotten and broken teeth, creating a foul smell being caused by infection. For this, Vixen requires a full dental, with an estimated cost of £700. Vixen needs your help to become pain free and start her recovery and start seeking her forever home.
To help raise funds, one of our amazing followers has offered a raffle prize of a full body massage. Details on how to enter can be found on our Facebook page.
Donations to our bank
Donations can be made directly to our business account. All designated funds will be set aside for Vixen to receive the health care she requires. Should any funds remain after, this will go towards treatment costs for some of the other cats in our care who need it.
