The October trip started out with a big problem-my trap had been  broken so catching any cats was going to be almost impossible as most that need to be sterilised are feral and impossible to handle. I spent much of the trip feeding cats as it was immediately obvious that there was no food in many of the usual feeding areas. I did some emailing in the internet cafe, (I go lo-tech when I’m there!) and discovered that their usual […]

I’ve been so busy doing animal stuff that I just haven’t been able to catch up with myself-at every turn, something needs to be sorted-be it a cat, a dog, a pigeon or a fox! Back in April, it was the first ever Mama Cat fundraising night at Cottons where loads of lovely people came and supported all the fab acts who were kind enough to offer their comedy/magic/singing services free of charge. Adam Hess and Iain Lee Thank you […]

Yesterday I was called about a cat who had been stuck in a flat with her owner’s dead body for up to 9 days. The poor man’s body had been removed on Saturday and although the neighbours had told the police that there was definitely a cat inside, they said there wasn’t. The neighbours persevered and eventually the police came back and located the terrified girl today. I went and collected her straight away and took her to the vet […]

For the first time ever, I have organised an event to raise much needed funds for Mama Cat Trust and here it is……an evening of comedy with Iain Lee, Barry from Watford, Luke McQueen, Frank Sanazi, Sister Mary McArthur, Pete Hathway and Adam Hess. They have all been kind enough to say yes! It should be FUN! Tickets via paypal-mamacattrust@googlemail.com or contact me at the same email address.

Spring sprung early this year with extraordinarily sunny days in April here in the UK and it was no different in Spain. When I visited last, the warm weather had resulted in a glut of pregnant cats-everywhere I looked there seemed to be more-it was quite overwhelming. I knew I had to try to catch as many females as possible. I looked for Rodrigo who was pleased to see me but his little tongue was hanging out so I took […]

These two beautiful boys were born on the 2nd March. Fully vaccinated/wormed/flea treated etc. They are both sensitive little boys that will need a quiet introduction to a new home. They respond much more to play rather than affection from strangers so that does seem to be the way to win them over. Once they’re settled in they are extremely affectionate and playful.   Athena is a 1-2 year old female marble tabby and has beautiful markings and intense green […]

Cruelty claim as Kentish Town resident arranges fox shootings Neighbour calls in ‘marksmen’ to remove animals from garden Published: 2nd June, 2011 by JOSIE HINTON A QUIET street has become the centre of an animal rights row after “marksmen” were called in to shoot foxes. Residents near Talacre Park in Kentish Town staged a protest after a neighbour used a pest controller to cull urban foxes that had been digging holes in his garden. The man, who has asked not […]

We have all read the scare-mongering but unsubstantiated stories in the press about fox ‘attacks’ and there are some people who don’t question the validity of these tales as it suits them to believe them. Thankfully, most people do not think this way. Here in London, there are many foxes living in our gardens and in the main, this is a harmonious arrangement where the majority of folk enjoy sharing their environment with wildlife and delight in watching the foxy […]

I landed at Reus airport with a long to-do list of cats I had heard about by email with various problems so as soon as I could, I went off in search of them. I had heard there was a new older kitten who had arrived at Luigi’s shop and I spotted him straight away, untouchable and peeping tentatively at a distance-a very pretty boy, he would need to be trapped. There had been a report that one of the […]

After losing track of poor Luna for a while, he has been found in a local Spanish dog shelter where he is utterly miserable. He has had such a bad time after first being abandoned by his owner then running loose in the streets only to end up at the shelter. He is safe but doesn’t understand of course, therefore has become too depressed to eat and is becoming desperately skinny. He will not survive like this. Please ask anybody […]

Sorry about the delay in bringing the latest news but I cannot catch up with myself-whenever I start my update, some animal problem or another comes along and eclipses everything! There was a momentous day this Summer-Catalonia voted to ban bullfighting! Let’s hope that the rest of Spain and other countries that still permit this horrific and pathetic spectacle, follow suit. Hopefully, the hideous bull runs will also be stopped. So far, this Summer, I have made three trips to […]

Summer has whizzed by in a big blur of animals, both here and abroad! It is has  been quite some time since the last report although there have been two action packed trips to Spain since then…..and another one fast approaching. In March, we met up in Spain with our friends from Progat Cambrils for the first time. When we first started sterilising the cats in Cambrils, we knew there were individuals who were trying to help the cats but […]
