This was the first family we rescued after the cats protection withdrew from rural Scotland. We aim to reduce the numbers of wild-living, feral and abandoned #cats and #kittens. We re-home where possible and neuter feral cats before releasing them. We aim to improve the lives of cats on our islands.
Our gorgeous Mango is still having seizures. He has now been referred to Glasgow Veterinary School to have specialist anaesthesia for his surgery to remove his undescended testes. Please visit the link below to read more. We are so grateful for your support.

Still trapping in Baleshare. 😢A young tabby less than a year old was caught and today a black kitten approximately 5months old was in a trap. Beautiful kittens. ❤️ #feralcats #kittens #catlovers #catrescue

‼️Thank you to all our adopters‼️

We got a heartwarming donation this week on the adoption anniversary of Meena and Mavis from South Uist! It means so much to us that they are so much loved and their owner is so grateful for them.

Caught on Baleshare!

Another gorgeous 4/5month old tabby #kitten caught today now nice and cosy in care. ❤️ Very scared, now called Sherbet, possibly a sibling of Shadow who was caught recently. They've been placed together and are currently cuddled up close. #feralcats #catlovers

The wind has dropped, there’s a steady soaking rain, and I have a new #FosterKitten, caught today by an @uistcatrescue.bsky.social volunteer in that atrocious weather. #uist 😻🐈

‼️Success! ‼️

We caught the black #kitten originally seen at Committee Road tonight! It must have been so scared on its own. S/he's settling in for now, and getting used to the new surroundings with food on tap. We'll continue with traps in the area until we're sure there are no more or a mum around.

More Kittens!
3 more vulnerable #kittens rescued yesterday. Shadow (black and white) in Baleshare and a ginger and a Tortoiseshell in a trap together on Committee Road! Wee tootsies, maybe 2 months old. We’ve named them Sonny and Cher as they were caught near Sunset Lodge! ☺️ #catlovers #feralcats

Still trapping! Last week we caught 2 more young #cats. Betsy from Baleshare,a lovely young tabby caught after a cat shaped outline was seen in straw in an outhouse, promptly taken into care. A beautiful black cat was caught in Balemore, North Uist, after a black #kitten was seen crossing the road

💕Update on Mango💕
A huge thank you again to everyone who donated to this beautiful boy’s MRI scan and lumbar puncture. The scan is normal which is fantastic news for him. Some test results are still awaited. Hope you enjoy this footage from his trip to Stirling. He was worn out when he got home!

It’s very cold for the #feralcats on North Uist at the moment and we are still getting reports of #cats and #kittens that need help for our hardworking volunteers
#cat trap set out for @uistcatrescue.bsky.social at my gatepost #uist

We over overwhelmed by the response to our appeal for Mango our 6 month old kitten who has been having seizures. We have raised about 82% of the estimated cost of his tests. Huge thanks to all who have helped including welovestornoway for their article www.welovestornoway.com/index.php/ar...
Plea for help over Mango the kitten

Meet the beautiful Minnie who wound her way into her foster Mum’s heart and she couldn’t bear to part with her. Here she is spending her first Christmas with her family in the comfort of her now forever home. #cats #catsofbluesky #catlovers #adoptdontshop

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all our wonderful supporters who have kept us going over the last 5years! This gorgeous photo is of our Callie, enjoying Christmas in her new Forever home! We currently have 26 cats and kittens in foster care, so it's still a busy time for us.

‼️ IS THIS YOUR CAT? ‼️
This lovely, friendly, grey and white cat (no microchip) was trapped this week near the Paiblesgarry Raiders stone. At first we thought she was Frosty’s Mum but she shows no signs of recent motherhood and may even be spayed. She has clearly had an owner at some point. #uist

Frosty the rescue kitten is having a lovely time playing today! #cats #kittens #catlovers #catrescue

It has been a real community effort to raise the money for Mangos initial tests. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far so that Mango could see a specialist vet in Inverness. #outerhebrides #cats
December 19, 2024 at 2:15 PM
Glad he has been rescued, the weather has not been good for feral cats in the last few days! #cats
This poor bedraggled creature was in the trap set by my gatepost, this morning. A crofter has seen it down the road a couple of days ago and let @uistcatrescue.bsky.social know. Traps set and bingo. #uist 😻🐈‍⬛

We are thinking of our gorgeous rescue kitten Mango who has unfortunately been having seizures . He has travelled to Inverness with his foster mum, which is a 2 hour ferry journey and a 3 hour drive. He is currently having tests. He is our #catoftheday #catsofbluesky #catlover

The little kitten we rescued on Sunday night has eaten twice their weight in weight food since coming into care! Settled in well, purring when fed and playing. Good news as mum cat has also now been brought into care. She is a young looking gorgeous grey and white cat #cats #CatsofBluesky #catlovers

This is our latest #kitten trapped last night near the Raider’s stone at Paiblesgarry. This little cutie is about 8 weeks old and just weaned. He/she is now settling down in care. A huge thank you to the person who reported seeing the kitten so we could rescue it 😻 #cats #catsofbluesky

Someone #Ninya has gathered all the pom-poms together behind the bedroom door like a nest of tribbles. 🙄😻🐈‍⬛
