SPONSOR A CAT

Thank you for visiting our ‘Sponsor a Cat’ page. Sponsoring is an ideal way to care and support for an animal, when you can’t have one yourself. It would also make a great gift, perhaps for a birthday or at Christmas.

At Milton Keynes and North Bucks RSPCA we have a no-kill policy. We make every effort to find the best homes for cats that arrive in our care. Sadly, some of the cats that come to us cannot be re-homed as they are too sick and/or elderly. These cats are cared for by kind hearted fosterers who take them in and give them the love they deserve in the final stages of their lives. By sponsoring a cat, it’s a great way to take an interest in their welfare and contribute towards their medication and quality of life.

From just £24.00 (£2.00 a month) for a year’s sponsorship, this is a great way to help a chosen cat. You will receive a Sponsorship Pack containing a welcome letter, a sponsorship certificate, a colour photograph of your cat, a profile of your cat and a Christmas card.

Below are the cats which have been re-homed with fosterers and would welcome your sponsorship.

If you would like to sponsor one or more of the cats, you can in a variety of ways.

To use PayPal, press the 'Donate' button on the right and when you get to ‘add special instructions for merchant’ put in the comments box, ‘sponsor a cat’ with the name of your chosen cat and also include your name and address (if you prefer, make your payment through PayPal then complete the form from the link below).

Or you can click on Sponsor a Cat application form, then print or download the form, complete the details and send it with either a cheque or postal order £24, made payable to RSPCA, or set up a standing order for £2 a month. Send to:

Cats available to sponsor

Alaska

It is with great regret that we have to announce that Alaska was put to sleep in mid February

Despite his thyroidectomy 18months ago,his thyroid tumours had recently returned and had also grown in other parts of his body making them inoperable . The tumours made his metabolism run too fast, so that, once again, he could never eat enough to keep healthy, and he lost a lot of weight really suddenly. Medication didn't work this time either.
Alaska was also a very senior gent and had become senile of late, wandering and yowling around the house and outside, both day and night, also often forgetting where the litter tray was.
It was clear that he was suffering both physically and emotionally and just didnt seem to be enjoying life like he used to.

His foster mum and his chicken sisters will miss him greatly but have been blessed with 3 wonderful years with him, and will always fondly remember him sunbathing on the henhouse.

Pottifur

I’m Pottifur. I was a stray un-neutered tom found in Potterspury a few years ago. I was very nervous at first but now I am told that I am real sweetheart. Initially I had a terrible ear infection caused by polyps. Although now removed, I unfortunately still have ongoing problems with my ears and live in the constant fear of the polyps growing back. I also suffer the occasional bouts of cystitis which is very painful.

Ashley

I’m Ashley and I am FIV positive. I have lived with my foster parents for around 7- 8 years. Luckily, I’ve been incredibly healthy with no signs of illness. I have quite a few step brothers and sisters who I get on extremely well with. Being a very laid back cat, I don’t like aggression and would never fight with them so I pose little risk to them.

Candy

My name is Candy and I am about 10 years old now. I came in to the RSPCA because my owner couldn't afford my veterinary treatment. I have a severe allergy problem which has made it very difficult for me to be re-homed. I appear to be allergic to carpets. All my fur falls out and my skin gets very red and inflamed. Luckily my new fosterer family do not have any carpets, it’s all wooden floors. So thankfully I haven’t had the problem for some time.

Winnie & Basil

My name is Winnie and I was found in a garden shed when I was 7 weeks old. I had a severe eye infection and was in a very weak condition. The vet battled to save my sight but the condition was so bad I lost an eye. While at the vets, I was also found to have life threatening kidney problem. I have to take daily medication and have regular check ups.

Basil has recently come to live with me and my foster family. He was found walking the streets and feeling very poorly. The vets are baffled by his illness. He doesn’t for some reason, be able to retain potassium. Every week, poor Basil has to go for a check up and a blood test. Twice a day he has to take medication which makes him feel ill. As soon as Mum gives him some chicken and a loving cuddle, he forgets he’s been sick and breaks into a purr.

Although neither of us are very strong cats, we are happy and content with our foster family who spoil us

George

RSPCA cats 006.jpg

I’m George. I was picked up by an RSPCA inspector when I was a 5 months old. I had nerve and tissue damage to my broken tail which caused me to be doubly incontinent. Unfortunately I had to have my tail amputated. It was touch and go whether I would survive. Luckily, I have regained 90% control of my bowels but my bladder is still a serious problem. It’s looking likely I will always have a weakness and will need foster care.

Tutsie

Hello my name is Tutsie. I was found as a very cold and thirsty stray. Almost immediately the RSPCA noticed I was drinking too much water and I was taken to the vets for tests. The diagnosis wasn’t good. I am in the early stages of kidney failure. The vet couldn’t tell how long I had to live. She said it could be a month, or maybe a couple of years. I love to be anywhere quiet and enjoy going outside when the weather is good.

Izzy

I’m Izzy and I believe I am about 12 years old. I came to the RSPCA as a stray. I was also blind. Tests were carried out and it was discovered that I had very high blood pressure. I’ve been put on long term medication and receive regular check ups. The tablets are working very well. So well, that I am beginning to see again. I’m not expected to get my full sight back but it’s wonderful to be able to see a little bit!
