Athena was adopted from Wood Green, The Animals Charity in London
Tibbles is a wonderful senior ladycat who is looking for a retirement home. She was taken to Wood Green "due to no fault of her own and is now looking to cuddle up and relax." Tibbles loves attention and is very affectionate and"her favourite food is chicken and ham." This lovely lady deserves all the love and spoiling she desires. Do you think you have the purrfect forever home for her? Check out her profile for more info!
More homeless pets looking for forever homes can be found on my Mum's Pinterest Pet Rescue board.
Disclosure: I received no compensation for this post. As a rescue kitty myself I want to help other rescues find their forever home, so each week on Charity Tuesday I share adoptable cats from Wood Green, the Animals Charity (which is where I was rescued) and some other charities dear to our hearts. Mum and I are so grateful to Wood Green because without them we would never have found each other! Please note: We are here to help cats and give our time freely. We also ensure that to the best of our knowledge and research other lesser-known charities mentioned are legit. This post contains affiliate links. Full disclosure here.

Tofu is "a very affectionate cat who loves to spend time playing with shoelaces". She also says she enjoys eating snacks and receiving strokes from her carers. Snuggling on a warm cosy bed is also nice, she tells me. This sweet cat deserves a loving forever home now! If you would like to adopt Tofu please visit her profile.
Remember Me Thursday is a global awareness campaign uniting individuals and pet adoption organizations around the world as an unstoppable, integrated voice for orphan pets to live in forever homes, not die waiting for them. On September 26, 2019, the entire world will share the importance of pet adoption, and shine a light on all orphan pets waiting in shelters and rescues. In 2017, people using #RememberMeThursday reached nearly 330 million people on social media. Can we get even more people sharing the importance of pet adoption? It’s up to you to spread the word." - https://remembermethursday.org/
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.

It's sad that there are so many homeless, abandoned and orphaned kitties in the world but we're here to share the amazing work that many pet rescue charities do all over the globe. We want to help not only the cats of the UK but we are trying to raise awareness for the international cat charities too. If you would like to help, please check them out and do what you can for them. We are not affiliated with any of these charities but we do support them if and when we can. Adopt Don't Shop. Rescue Don't Breed.

For Tuxie Tuesday we have a beautiful black and white cat named Freddy. This handsome man cat is 9 years old and is being looked after by the Godmanchester branch of Wood Green. Freddy describes himself as being a little shy but once he gets to know you he will love to spend time with you. He is affectionate with his favourite humans and likes to greet people he trusts with a head butt. A calm home is what he would love, where he can explore and get to know his environment and humans on his own terms. Freddy is looking for a calm home, where he can be given the time to approach his humans and explore his environment on his own terms. If you want to know more about adopting Freddy read more about him here.

Nine Lives Greece cats
Adopt a cat from Greece
Based in Athens, Greece, Nine Lives Greece is "just a handful of volunteers who dedicate our spare time to the stray cats, we have no office, no shelter facilities, no animal ambulance or transport van, and we receive no state funding or assistance".
The charity's main aim is the "humane reduction of the stray cat overpopulation through trap-neuter-return programmes. Each year, we get hundreds of stray cats in Athens neutered/spayed, greatly reducing the numbers of unwanted kittens born each season, and ensuring a healthier adult cat population."
Nine Lives Greece also helps to improve the quality of life for existing street cats through feeding programmes on a daily basis feeding nearly 450 stray and abandoned cats in central Athens and giving routine anti-parasite treatment, and veterinary care for ill or injured cats. In addition, they find loving, responsible homes for as many stray or abandoned cats and kittens as possible.
From Skiathos Cat Welfare Association Facebook page:
"We have been aware of a situation for some time, we have tried to help with food when we can, however things have now sadly escalated. In the middle of the island, an elderly local man has been trying for some time to care for numerous cats, and 3 dogs. He has done his best considering his age and failing health. Sadly, he is now in hospital and the situation in his home is critical. We have been given permission from his family to go to the house to try and help the cats there. It's clear that the resident has been struggling for some time and it’s a very sad situation. There are cats needing vet care, there are kittens, pregnant females, a blind cat. In the day we have seen around 20-30 cats, I imagine when its cooler there are more we just haven’t seen. Immediate needs are food, new feeding bowls, and general things to try and do what we can to the immediate area to try and improve the situation. We are very short of volunteers and its hard to try and go everyday which is what it needs. Is there anyone in the local community who could help a fellow resident as this is a long term situation for which at this time we don’t know how the story will end. We want to try our best, but need a little help. Can you buy an SOS token for £1 ?"
Each token will go in the pot to get food, water, medical care, and any immediate needs for these cats. If you are able to help please click here for more info.
