New here.
Sharing foster kitten updates, animal-shaped joy, quiet self-care thoughts, and gentle support for small, kind things.
No rush. No noise. Just showing up as I am. 🤍
A small, random realisation.
I was the only girl out of four children.
My daughter is the only girl out of three.
And my granddaughter, whose birthday is tomorrow (and the day before my own), is the only girl out of four.

Just a pattern I noticed. 🤍

We appear to have run out of sausage snacks.
This is not a drill.
If anyone has seen them, or has emergency supplies, please advise immediately. 🐾🤍

The #UKGiftHour feed feels very blue, green, and calm this morning.
Do certain colours help shift your mood at this time of year? 💙💚

Mad Mackerel.
One of the foster kittens I share this space with.
Judging me, judging you. 🤍

Two sisters I fostered last autumn for Cat Man Jules (Sheffield) reached a big milestone this week. Mad Mackerel (tabby) and Growly Batface (calico) arrived here nervous and watchful. They’re now confident and settled; they have just been spayed and are now ready to move on to their forever homes. 🤍

I know we’ve only just taken down the tinsel, and I’m absolutely refusing to acknowledge the chocolate eggs already eyeing us up in the supermarket, but is it too early to mention Valentine’s Day? 🤍

This really sums up where we’re at. 🤍
Same community spirit, just finding our feet in a new place. Lovely to be gathering again this weekend. #UKGiftHour
If you'd like to boost independent businesses and creatives, join us for chat, support and promotion using the #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM hashtags. On X, we were open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-midday so we'll try that on Bluesky too. If it doesn't work exactly the same way, help us to evolve 🎁🤗

A big thank you to the very kind soul who donated this IAMS kitten food for the fosters. It’s hugely appreciated and will be very happily put to use by some growing kittens. Support like this really does make a difference. 🤍

Absolutely no interest in being domesticated. 🤍

David Baddiel: Cat Man | Friday at 8pm on Channel 4
I don't watch TV, but some things still manage to find you. This made me smile, since I volunteer with another Cat Man (Jules) here in Sheffield. Entirely unintentional overlap, but cats do love a gentle coincidence. 🐾
