This year, Petsearch has successfully neutered and spayed over 30 feral cats through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) programme — an achievement we’re incredibly proud of.

Unfortunately, our dedicated TNR fund has now fallen to just £28, meaning we can no longer fund routine feral cat neutering at this time. As a small, volunteer-run rescue, the fund relied heavily on personal contributions which are no longer possible.

The good news? We haven’t stopped helping. Any donations received specifically for TNR will be used immediately on a “pay-as-you-go” basis — as funds come in, we’ll trap, neuter and return cats whenever possible.

Patience, Persistance & Community Spirit 🐾

What should have been a straightforward mum-and-three-kittens case turned out to be anything but! After weeks of patience, persistence, and even overnight surveillance, two of the youngest kittens were finally trapped today. Proof that good things really do come to those who wait. ❤️

A huge thank you to Sarah Dolan, who has gone above and beyond to help every step of the way, and to the wonderful neighbour/s who have kindly agreed to monitor the traps, provide food, and care for the cats once they are returned. One of our donated shelters will also be heading to the site, kindly gifted by Catherine in memory of her beloved Albie. ♡

It’s heartwarming to see so many people and rescues working together to make TNR possible. Every act of kindness, patience, and support makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone involved. 🐾❤️

We’re thrilled to share some positive news about Norman, the feral cat we’ve been monitoring with an eye condition.

This evening Monday 27-October, Norman was successfully trapped by Tilly, one of our amazing young volunteers. Tilly handled everything with calmness, confidence, and genuine care — she did an outstanding job and showed a real natural talent for animal rescue work. We’re incredibly proud of her dedication and professionalism! 🌟

On closer examination, Norman’s eye doesn’t appear quite as severe as first thought, which is very encouraging. He’s scheduled for neutering and entropion surgery tomorrow with our head vet, and we’ll be sharing updates once he’s safely through his procedures.

A huge thank-you to Tilly for her compassion and skill — your efforts truly make a difference! 💙

We’d also like to thank everyone who has already donated towards Norman’s care. 🙏

Any shortfall in his medical costs will be kindly covered by our wonderful partners at Wild Acre Rescue, who share our passion for Trap–Neuter–Return (TNR) and helping adult cats. 🐱💚

 We've got mom at last 👏

Some of you will remember the fire kittens—tiny survivors with incredible spirit. Their mom has been out there for years, always just out of reach. Litter after litter, she managed to stay free, and despite everything we tried, we could never quite catch her.

But today, everything changed. 💜

After years of trying, Lesley finally caught her. This brave mom, who has brought six litters into the world, will never have to go through it again. Her final litter is truly her last.

And it’s not just her—this is part of a much bigger story. We’ve trapped so many cats from this colony now that we’ve almost lost count. Each one represents an end to suffering, fewer kittens born into hardship, and a huge step toward breaking the cycle. Now, there are only around four to six cats left to go. 🐾

This moment fills us with relief, joy, and gratitude. It hasn’t been easy—financially it’s crippling at times, and emotionally it can be exhausting—but it is so worth it.

A massive thank you to Lesley for her persistence, to Petsearch Rescue , and to everyone who has stood with us on this journey. Together, we’re making a difference that will last for generations of cats to come. 💜
