There were 3 muffins when I popped out for 2 mins. And you can see I left them under the watchful eye of a bottle of wine....
Do you think they’re watching your weight?
You should know better by now love 🐒
Oh Janice, Have you not been feeding them again!
Little monkeys 🤭
Blanca, the culprit, trying to look innocent...
I bet pesky was the leader 😹😹
Sometimes the only way I can tell them apart is to count the ears.
Bini has one and a half.
Smoix has two full ears.
A veces tengo que contar las orejas para saber quien es quien.
Bini tiene una y media y Smoix tiene dis enteras.

Coco.
He finds it as hard as I do to get the show on the road in the mornings.
He was holding my left hand in those claws just before I took the photo.

También le cuesta despertarse por ls mañanas.

He is adorable XX
Those claws?
Lovely to see Coco again. Lovely boy xx
An update on Tabby Tom. The good news, amazing really, is that he has broken no bones !!!
But he has very heavy bruising which is extremely painful for him. He also still has a considerable amount of blood in his urine.
So we have to wait.
To see if the bleeding stops and to see if he can poo.
He is eating. Can move with difficulty.
He’s still on painkillers and is tranquil and content.
He does looked spaced out though. Doesn’t he?
He will be in the vets for some time yet.
Noticias del atigrado.
Las buenas son k no se ha roto nada. Increíble.
Pero tiene una hematoma grande y le cuesta moverse.
Pero sigue con sangre en la orina.
Hay k esperar a ver la evolución.
Tendrá para rato.

Just checked in with vet. Tabby Tom has had a quiet night.
Kept warm and with lots of painkillers.
He has eaten and drink a little and can move around the cage.
He has done a wee but there was a lot of blood in it.
He is stable.
This morning the vet will check him over thoroughly with X-rays and whatever is needed to discover exactly what has happened to him and the way to proceed.
More news maybe this pm.
El gato tigre está estable.
Ha pasado bien la noche con calor y analgésicos.
Ha hecho pipí pero con sangre.
Se puede mover.
Esta mañana pruebas y si procede radiografías etc.
Más noticias quizás esta tarde.
Alquien lo reconoce?
Se podría difundir por favor la notica de ayer noche.

Carrot is feline fine after his visit to the dentist.
Whilst I was doing his flea treatment I noticed that one of his canine teeth appeared to be pointing into the centre of his mouth.
In fact both canines on one side had to be removed.
But he’s back perfecting his favourite hobby.
Sleeping.

Poor Carrot xx lots of love and teeth from Freddie.
Ahh poor Carrot. I found Mr Mr Darcy's fang on the stairs the other week, he looks funny without it but still manages well. X
Beautiful cat and great you got him sorted out at the vets x
It’s amazing how cats adapt to what life throws at them. My main bank account has been compromised, I’ve swapped my standing orders to another account. Please let me know if my donations don’t come through.
My boy!
It was going to be a chilly Sunday night in by the fire.
I didn’t get home from catching cats for neutering and from feeding my street mogs until nearly 9.
It was tempting to ignore the phone but I didn’t.
Yet another run over Tom. Not neutered.
This time on the airport road.
Thank goodness people care enough to stop and help them.
Andreu , a friend of Marc saw it happen. A car hit the cat and drove on. Another swerved as the cat dragged itself off the road.
Andreu was on a motorcycle so he rang his friend for help and I m glad to say they rang me.
I was there in less than 10 minutes and found Marc sitting with the cat wrapped in a sweater.
The accident happened in Mahon on the airport Road opposite the Fire Station between the Binipreu and Airport roundabouts.
We put him in a cage and I called our vet.
I’d only seen him less than an hour before.
Nonetheless he came out.
The cat looks healthy apart from his back legs.
He was given a strong painkiller and I left him with the vet.
He was going to examine him when the painkiller had taken effect.
Hopefully there will be no nasty surprises.
More news tomorrow.

How can people hit an animal and drive off?! I’ll never understand anyone who can do that 😡 thank goodness for the lovely people who stopped, and you and the vet for looking after him, poor baby boy, I do hope he’s ok 🤞🤞🙏🙏 xxx
Poor baby, dragging himself off the road! I hope he hasn’t got a broken back! I’m in tears at the thought. Accidents happen, but to drive on is utterly heartless. Thank God for Janice and her incredible vet.
How can they do it and have a clear conscience! There are some real scumbags .. pardon the expression! Karma will get them. Healing prayers for the cat. Do you know if it’s chipped Janice? Or is it one of “yours”. Keep us up to date. Night night xx
Thankful for people like you who really care about these gorgeous animals. Wishing him a speedy recovery. 💕
Omg that is awful how can someone do that,shame on them. So pleased someone help that poor little cat. Well done Janice 😹 what would we do with out you😘
His pupils are unevenly dilated- expect a concussion or other head injury 😢- poor thing.
He looks in good shape Janice, I hope his injuries are nothing that he can't overcome.
Well done Janice, where would they be without you... where would we be without you? He is a handsome boy all round bless him, but his back legs sure do look to be at a funny angle, keep us all updated, please....
Janice, you’re an angel xx
Thank goodness for kind people. 🙏🏼 Can’t bear the thought of a helpless animal injured and suffering. I hope the cat is able to make a full recovery.
Poor boy, this is so sad...how on earth can anyone not stop if they have hit an animal, it makes me despair of people. So glad he was rescued, hoping for good news for him, xxxx
Thank you Janice for always being there for the cats xx
I really don’t understand why some people do this. Inexcusable!! 🤬
So sorry. The poor thing.
Hope he will be ok,poor sweetheart!!❣❣❣
Poor legs looks in shock poor baby x
Oh shit, good luck puss xx
What a handsome boy xx
Should be fined for not stopping!

Meals On Wheels!
Meals for Street Cats
We provide food and water for over 200 cats every day of the year. Some are out in the country, some in the private gardens of villas in resorts. These are usually provided with hoppers and are filled once a week on average. But the many colonies of street cats in towns have to be fed daily as there is nowhere safe to leave food. Every month our food bill is over 500 euros , without counting the cost of food for cats with special needs.
Kittens Best Start
Vaccinations for Kittens
Their best start to life
We really do need more help. We have our loyal donors, many of who have supported us since we became a Charity And heartfelt thanks to them but our food bill is going to be horrendous with so many kittens. We vaccinate them all 3 Times to give them the best possible start in life and that alone is 57 euros each. So can you help please?
Neutering
Caring for sick and injured cats
Neutering to reduce unwanted cats
The main objective is to neuter cats to prevent unwanted kittens, supported by compassionate caring, veterinary treatment and re homing where possible. There are 25 feeding stations around the island tended by volunteers, but more stations are needed. Sick and injured cats are cared for and no cat is put to sleep if it can have a decent quality of life.
