Silly Fireworks Season #SundaySelfie

Here I am chilling out this easy Sunday, hoping tonight's fireworks for Bonfire Night, which actually falls on Tuesday 5th November, aren't too loud. 

It's impossible I know.

Fireworks don't bother me much to be honest, unless they're being fired off by our neighbours. That's too close for comfort. 

Mum detests fireworks. She says what's the point? If you've seen one firework display, you've seen them all.

I mean, just what is the fascination with deafening booms and flashing lights? As an animal lover, Mum can't  understand why people with pets like to participate as most of our neighbours and many locals do have pets. Do they even care how terrifying these explosive sounds can be for animals? And that's ALL animals, not just beloved pets.

Silent or low noise fireworks are now available, but obviously the majority of the noise-obsessed public won't find them "fun" at all. Unfortunately, being excessively loud and obnoxious is all some persons can be in order to suggest they are having a good time. 

One of my earlier memes for Bonfire Night

We're joining The Cat On My Head for Sunday Selfies.

If you're worried about your pets and fireworks here is a helpful video from Woodgreen Pets Charity, and also some advice on the charity's website here.

Charity Tuesday: Adopt Alice

This is the final Charity Tuesday post for a while. But do not worry as this isn't the end of posts helping animals in need. Instead, we're going to feature one or two cats needing forever homes in each new post. That means no post on Tuesday, but expect to see rescue cats on all our posts!

We will never stop advocating for rescue pets. 

Rescue Pets Rock!

Alice

Alice is 12 years old and is looking for a new home after her owner got sick. "She enjoys spending time pottering about outside and really likes her food, especially chicken as a treat! Alice will need understanding humans that will give her time to adjust to a new life as this is the first change she has had in 12 years." - Wood Green

Bengal Cat Needs Forever Home #adoptacat

Athena says Adopt Don't Shop!

💚

This beautiful bengal boy is Cassius. Isn't he gorgeous?

PHOTO: Wood Green

Cassius is being cared for by my favourite animal shelter Wood Green, The Animals Charity. If you don't know my rescue story it's the charity that rescued me from someone's garden in North London where I was found abandoned as a kitten.

Mum saw my photo on the charity's website and went to the London branch to adopt me. 

And the rest is history!

Cassius is " looking for a new home, where he can enjoy being the only cat in the area- he just wants all of the attention for himself! Cassius is very sweet and friendly and enjoys jumping up onto your lap for a cuddle. When he's not showering you with love, Cassius loves to explore outside. He would definitely prefer to live in a more rural area with a low cat population. If you could offer Cassius his forever home, please click here to find out more."

Sadly some shelter animals never make it. It's heartbreaking to know that this goes on but we hope we can save a life by sharing... 

The Reality of Many Shelter Animals

"URGENT" NYC Shelter Animals 

“Urgent” was created to help advocate for NYC’s Death Row Dogs and Cats. What started as a desperate attempt to save some dogs turned into an enormous community of caring people, just as outraged as we are. Together, we are fighting to reform the NYC shelter system and save the thousands of adoptable animals being needlessly destroyed each year. The battle is long and the list of casualties continues to climb but we will not give up… not until there are none.

Overlooked cats in Britain

Sadly, there are so many overlooked cats urgently needing forever homes everywhere. Here is a list of UK rescue shelters and charities from the cat rescue resource CatChat.org, with details of harder to home senior cats, black cats, special needs cats, FIV+ cats and feral/farm cats.

Gandalfino was found following people begging them for food and cuddles. When he moved to safety he slept for days. He was so exhausted that he would fall asleep while drinking water. He didn’t have strength to jump, clean himself or even meow. Well now all he does is jump, clean himself and meow! He is a super playful, cuddly and funny kitten that makes every day bright. If you wish to adopt this fluffy ball of joy, email us! ——- Ο Γκανταλφίνο βρέθηκε να ακολουθεί τους περαστικούς ζητιανεύοντας φαγάκι κ χάδια. Όταν πήγε σε φιλοξενία, κοιμήθηκε για μέρες. Δεν είχε δύναμη να σκαρφαλώσει, να πλυθεί ή να νιαουρίζει. Ε, τώρα όλη την ώρα σκαρφαλώνει, πλένεται και νιαουρίζει! Είναι ένα πολύ παιχνιδιάρικο, χαδιάρικο και αστείο γατάκι που κάνει πιο φωτεινή τη μέρα σου.

Cat Day Adopt Don't Shop #CharityTuesday

Adopt Don't Shop!

So it's Tuesday so that means it's Charity Tuesday for us on this blog. Every Tuesday we try to help cats get adopted!

But we heard it's Cat Day too. Well, you know our thoughts on that - EVERY DAY IS CAT DAY 😻

Athena was adopted from Wood Green

💚

From our favourite charity, Wood Green, The Animals Charity we have Misty. 

Watch her video below or on YouTube 

First, here is some info on this lovely lady, taken from the Wood Green website.

"Misty has been with us a little while and is looking for her forever home. Our lovely girl has been doing really well and losing weight at a good pace however she is unable to lose all the weight she needs to in our cattery environment. Misty enjoys all the home comforts in life and enjoys relaxing in her bed and playing with feathers when she pleases." 

If you are interested in rehoming Misty check out her profile here.







And from Cyprus Pride House, here is Sweet Amaira. 

A friendly and affectionate girl who loves to play. 

Watch her video below or on YouTube 



More info at www.cypruspridehouse.org

Also, check out Ermis at Nine Live Greece. He needs a home ASAP!

Ermis is the sweetest of cats. He is a living example of how animals respond to cruelty with kindness, to neglect with trust, to abuse with unconditional love. The moment he was moved to a safe place he showed his gratitude to his rescuers. He is gentle, kind, and asks for cuddles all day long. We only have 1 month to find him a home. Please help us! ———- Ο Ερμής είναι ο πιο γλυκός γατούλης. Είναι το ζωντανό παράδειγμα του πώς τα ζώα απαντούν με ευγένια στη βία, με εμπιστοσύνη απέναντι στην παραμέληση, με αγάπη άνευ όρων κόντρα στην κακοποίηση. Από τη στιγμή που βρέθηκε σε ασφαλές μέρος δεν σταματα να δείχνει την ευγνωμοσύνη του. Είναι ευγενικος, ήρεμος και ζητά χάδια όλη μέσα. Έχουμε 1 μήνα να του βρούμε σπιτάκι. Βοηθήστε μας! ———— #παμεσπιτι #εφταψυχες #ninelivesgreece #straycats #abusedcat #greekcats #adoptme #adoptdontshop #tuxedocat #sos #urgent #catrescue #saveastray #athenscats #saveagreekstray #animalrescue #catlove #instacats #catsagram #katzen #gato

The Dog House is Amazing TV. Now Let's Have The Cat House! #charitytuesday

Mum has been busy catching up with her latest favourite TV show.

It's called The Dog House (yeah, really) and I've caught her getting all emotional watching as the dogs try to find a forever home.

Described as a First Dates show for dogs,  the show's aim is to match prospective owners with a dog in need of a loving home. Mum says that the programme is "magical" and that it's quite different from most animal rescue shows seen here on British TV. 

The TV series is set inside Wood Green, The Animals Charity, and shows the huge commitment and care that staff put into matching their homeless dogs with the right dog owners - humans who share personal reasons for wanting to adopt a dog. The series is deep, very moving and pulls at the heartstrings - hence Mum getting over-emotional. She weeps for the homeless dogs (some who have had the most awful experiences) and is also touched by the personal stories of the people who long to adopt. 

Mum says it reminds her of how we rescued each other, all thanks to this pawmazing charity! She would like to add though that we did not go through the same process as these doggies and prospective owners did.

Mum saw me online and went to the London centre to enquire about me and also see if we were right for each other. Well, luckily we were. I was in the first pen stretching my paw out to touch her through the mesh, going crazy because I really wanted her to take me home. I knew she was my future mum. It just happened. We fell in love with one another and the rest is history!

Oh, the memories!

International Pet Rescue

Even though we are British and live in England it doesn't mean we don't want to help rescue animals around the world! We try to do our bit via social media, hoping to raise awareness for animals in need, thus giving them more of a chance to find the forever home they so deserve.

This blog may not have many followers and my social media accounts could do with at least 1000 more followers - no, make it 30 thousand -  but I'm sure every little mention, share, etc, helps. 

One of the things that deeply upset Mum is knowing that in some countries cats are treated as vermin. (Yes, google if you don't believe). Being of Greek heritage (her parents are Greek Cypriot) the cats of Greece and Cyprus hold a special place in her heart. But you know Mum, she loves all animals!

However, it's nice to know there are lots of amazing, caring, people who do help cats. And we are grateful to them.
