What is happening today at Cat in Need Menorca
So often when I am “catting “ a song goes through my head.
This afternoon it was Julie Andrews and A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
If only.
Yowler ( the clue is in the name ) gave me the most awful fright on Friday.
Of course it had to be Friday didn’t it ?
Our Vet had left for a seminar on feline medicine on Thursday.
They KNOW .
Fortunately I saw Yowler in time.
He was lying in the dead cat position on his side by the front door.
He looked like he was dying. Indeed I think that if I had not seen him when I did he probably would have done.
He let me pick him up , he can be a nervous cat but lately he’s been getting closer to me, never a good sign.
He was cold, and a little stiff.
Just turned 1pm. Other vet clinic in Mahon closes at 13.30. I rang them to tell them I was on the way.
He was very dehydrated and they immediately put a line in. Took some blood for an analysis and to put him on a drip.
He had been at the vet just two nights before as he has gingivitis.
Now when we looked in his mouth he had an incisor bent over.
I think he had received a blow of some kind and was in shock.
Anyway he was very well cared for and was kept in for the weekend.
He’s home now on some extra meds and lots of TLC. He lets me pick him up and cuddle him.
And there we have it. THE MEDS. Half of a TINY pill twice a day. And a little drop of painkiller q to 3 times a day.
I get the look. And the sniff. Cream cheese? Yes ok. Cream cheese with pill. What are you doing to me? Do you think I don’t know ?
Cream cheese wrapped in ham?
Maybe if I have a drop of painkiller first.
Maybe in some cream.
Gone off the tuna pate. Even wrapped in ham. Don’t try that one again
Mince? Since when did I like mince ? Well yesterday actually.
I can usually give most cats a pill straight down the hatch but Yowler is winning.
Anyway it’s wonderful that he’s alive and looking quite happy and twirling over and looking beguiling when he looks at me.
You have saved him. I use Lik-E-lix cat treats on medicine. And like you absolutely anything that will go down. Well done 💖 He is beautiful! Xxx
Ohhhhhhh what we do for our ANIMALS ! So GLAD HE’S RECOVERING! He is ADORABLE!! Sincerely hope he RECOVERS COMPLETELY and Bless You For Rescuing and Looking After Him. L O L Gloria in Englandxx
Hope he continues to do well. Sending lots of hugs
How beautiful! ❤️ Would you mind if I saved the picture to my phone to use as a screensaver? 😺 X
Having the same problem with Harry trying to get the meds down his throat is a two person job usually my husband putting a wresting hold Ona wee Maltese who fights like a bloody tiger ❤️
Best of luck, Janice!
Someone Up There is looking out for Yowler!
That’s good news x
Have you heard of Easypill paste? I buy small individual foil containers from our pet shop but is available anywhere. My Henry scoffs it down.
7 years ago now and sadly so many are no longer with us. The downside of cat rescue.
If we can make them safe and happy for a time at lest.
So good that you save them and give them the love they would never have known. But you miss each one forever. A little thought can bring back a memory so easily.💖
You’ve made such a difference to all their lives. Thank you for all the love, care & work you do
Oh yes. Start the week with a good laugh.
I did
Empieza la semana con una sonrisa
Pregunta. Duermes por la noche. ? No
Dejas dormir a tu familia ? No
Genial
I totally understand the pain of losing a much loved pet and feeling that you can’t go through it again but what better way to honour the memory of a loved one ?No more words needed 💔
Yet another failed tempt at having an early night.
Lulu , the blind cat , hiding in my bedroom.
She won’t be caught so I have to trick her into leaving.
But she’s a Tortie and there is no fooling a Tortie.
20 minutes later I’m wide awake and she is under the bed.
Bueno , de tener mucho sueño, a punto de dormir estoy bien despierta.
Lulu, mi gata ciega , está otra vez en mi habitación y no hay manera de sacarla.
Es muy lista y resiste todos mis esfuerzos para sacarla
Whatever she does. She has won your heart 💖xxx
Dearest Lulu. Torties will do what they want. Xx
She wants some alone time with you. Will she sleep on the bed with you given the chance? xx so sweet.
I love Lulu xx
We have a naughty tortie xx

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.
