Why Adopt a Rescue Cat?

Rescue cats come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, but they all share one thing in common—a huge capacity for love. When you adopt a rescue cat, you’re not just gaining a new furry friend—you’re also giving a cat a second chance at a happy life. Many cats in shelters have been through tough times, and a loving home can make all the difference.

How to Support Cat Rescues

Even if adopting isn’t an option right now, there are still many ways to help:

  • Fostering: Offer a temporary home to a cat in need.
  • Volunteering: Many rescues rely on volunteers for daily care and socialization.
  • Donating: Food, toys, bedding, or a financial contribution can make a huge impact.
  • Raising Awareness: Share adoptable cats on social media to help them find homes.

The research indicates that cats, just like dogs, can find joy and satisfaction in retrieving objects. So, what's the motivation behind this behaviour? Well, it seems to be a combination of factors. For some cats, it's the thrill of the chase. They love the anticipation of watching their favourite toy sail ...

Respect Your Cat Day

Apparently, on March 28th 1384, King Richard II issued a royal decree banning the eating of cats in England. Whether the edict was real or just a historical whisper passed down over time, the fact that it needed saying at all is mind-blowing. I’ll be honest—when I first heard that people used to eat cats, I was completely horrified! 😱 The idea that, once upon a time, cats weren’t respected or even seen as pets, but as food, is awful.  While it’s difficult to know how widespread cat consumption really was in medieval Europe, there are scattered historical records suggesting that in times of famine or poverty, cats (and dogs) were sadly sometimes eaten.
