Isn't she beautiful!
Now before you all rush to social media and announce that Austin's found true love at last, let me just say this. Yes she is beautiful, but no, we are not snuggling together and playing happy families at Chez Towers - "More's the pity" says The Staff!!
No! We decided a while ago to sponsor a kitty through Cats Protection UK and this is the one :) She is a one year old mum (as you can see) who was abandoned by her owners when they were evicted.
Cats Protection is a charity that does exactly that. It protects cats!! Here is what they say about themselves:
From humble beginnings in 1927, Cats Protection has grown to become the UK's leading feline welfare charity. We now help around 200,000 cats and kittens every year through our network of over 250 volunteer-run branches, 29 adoption centres and two homing centres.
Our work doesn’t stop there, however: we also provide an array of cat care information via our publications, website and helpline; promote the benefits of neutering to prevent unwanted litters from being born and becoming the abandoned cats of tomorrow and seek to educate people of all ages about cats and their care.
At the moment, they have well over 6000 cats and kittens needing homes, so we are doing our little bit to get the word out and support in any way we can.
Sponsoring at Cats Protection means you actually help pay for a pen not the cat, which makes sense as cats will move on as they find their forever homes. Zsa Zsa is still receiving treatment and looking after her kittens, so will not move out for a little while. You can read more about her here.
One of the most important initiatives Cats Protection promote is TNR. Neutering is very high on their agenda and this makes us happy - well after the initial "ouch" of course! Kitties like Zsa Zsa are indeed very thankful!
If you live in the UK (or anywhere else) and want to help, the Cats Protection website is excellent and gives very helpful info.

catenarian - someone who looks after cats!
(actually means "chain-like" or "pertaining to chains", but I prefer my definition ;)

We sure hope that beauty gets to go home soon!
ReplyDeleteZsa Zsa is gorgeous and look at the love in her eyes. What a sweet heart.
ReplyDeleteAustin you sound kinda like me...I enjoy being an only cat....we sure hope she finds a furever home as soon as the kitties are weaned.
Hugs madi your bfff
Zsa Zsa is a beautiful cat, thank the heavens that she found her way to Cats Protection UK. Austin, you are doing such a good thing. TNR is great for feral colonies/free roaming cats. I support and donate to TinyKittens in Langley, Canada and also support and donate to our local shelter. I am going to check out your link!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty ZsaZsa girl! We hope she as well as her babies all find great homes when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitty! She is also very lucky to be with Cats Protection UK!

Oh, what a gorgeous little kitty! And that sounds like a great organization! So sad that there are so many cats and pups around the world that need homes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I love the idea of sponsoring cats, and sponsoring a pen is a really cool idea!
ReplyDeleteMowzers, that's so cool! Zsa Zsa is lovely!
ReplyDeleteShe sure is!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a super Wednesday...

That is very sweet of you to sponsor a kitty.
ReplyDeleteZsa Zsa is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOMC she is a beautiful ladycat! And she looks so sweet taking care of her precious little babies. How nice of you to sponsor her :)
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pictures. They really tug at the heart strings. Cats Protection is a brilliant organisation. The last local paper I worked on featured a cat looking for a home every week. It was a good way of getting people to adopt.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful post! Thank you for supporting such a great organization!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and well done for sponsoring Zsa Zsa. We hope everything works out for her and her babies and they find the homes they deserve.
ReplyDeletePurrs xx

ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
We've been a sponsor the the Cats Protection for a couple of years or so now and we love how they always send pictures of the cats in "our" cage which go in a special book and also let us know when they have found their forever family and show them with their new humans.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
It's great isn't it!!! I saw that you sponsored at Cats Protection and that is what gave mum the idea!!
DeleteI hope she gets a good home when the time is right. Cats Protection do good work. My bipeds have had cats from them in the past.
ReplyDeleteShe IS beautiful! And so cute with her little babies! Thank you for helping Zsa Zsa and Cats Protection!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a totally awesome organization, and the kitten is adorable. We like how a person can support the cage, and therefore end up supporting whoever is in the cage. That makes good sense. Oh, this weekend for sure (M swears on it) she'll help me with the special post!!!! If she doesn't you can march over here and put the bitey on her!
ReplyDeleteConcats on the sisfur that lives in a pen or is it you’re buying her a pen? Hope it’s one of those gel pens cos they write so smoothly. Did you know TW does crossword pizzles in pen? what a mess.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great example to all cats and cat owners! Bravo! Thank you for leaving us a message back in my blog. Mom really appreciates it. Your thoughts and hugs are just precious. Thank you, Austin.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are sponsoring and what a lovely mum and lit. Pinning to my black cats are magic board.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaw She is bootyful. Weez so glad yous can help them out. We fink this be a pawsum fing.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

Lovely young momcat! How smart that you are sponsoring the pen and not a specific cat. I will suggest that to the shelter where I volunteer.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

It makes sense, doesn't it! I would be interested to know whether they decide to do that! :)
DeleteThat's wonderful that you sponsor Zsa Zsa! We've heard of Cat's Protection. We have a friend in England who adopted a senior from them. Thank you for helping their kitties.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a grateful work. What a wonderful mom-cat :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my Pawty, Austin. It made my birthday just a little bit more special. Pawkisses :) <3
Zsa Zsa is such a beauty...purrs to her and her kits! That is wonderful that you are sponsoring her.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, and what a wonderful thing to do, and just in time for Adopt a Cat month
ReplyDeleteI remember Cats Protection when we loved in England - they offered the lady next door to us low cost neutering voucher for her tom! Good people!!
