Patches & Inky urgently need your help 💔 Patch Patches & Inky urgently need your help 💔

Patches & Inky arrived in our care after their human companion sadly passed away. 😭

At the grand age of 20 years young, these kitties have found the move to the cattery quite stressful. 💔

After a few days, Patches has settled in relatively well. She enjoys time with her human caregivers nearly as much as she enjoys rolling around in cat nip. 🥰

Inky has found the move a little more stressful and who can blame her. Losing your home is one thing but losing the only human you have ever loved is another. 😢

Our hearts break for these two and whilst we were there for them when they needed us most, being in a cattery is no place for a cat in their twilight years. 💔

Sadly, Patches has a few health conditions, the joys of getting old eh!! She has Hyperthyroidism and heart disease for which she is on medication. She takes these fantastically well! 🥰

We are looking for a special person who will take them under their wing and give them a loving home for as long as possible. 🙏

OAS will cover the medical costs for Patches. We can discuss this once you have submitted an application. You are not committed to adopting by submitting an application. 🐈

Patches & Inky are looking for the following type of home 🏡 
👶 They cannot live with children
🐈 They cannot live with other cats
🐶 They cannot live with dogs
🏡 They can live in a home as indoor cats or one with outdoor access

If you can offer these gorgeous kitties the forever home they desperately need, then please click on the link below:

Please meet the delightful one-year-old Oreo ❤️

Oreo arrived at the sanctuary after he struggled to adapt to the arrival of his canine companion. 💔

He sadly started to spend more and more time outside rather than being in his home. 😢

This lad is awesome!! He loves his human companions and is really enjoying the one-to-one attention he deserves. 💖

He is a soppy kitty who loves fuss and attention. Equally, he loves playing with his toys and will make a fantastic family companion. He can get a little over playful sometimes but he's still a young cat! 💖

He's looking for the following type of home 🏡
👶 Can live with children
🐈‍⬛ Cannot live with other cats
🐶 Cannot live with dogs
🏡 Needs outdoor access

If you can give Oreo the loving home he deserves, then please click on the link below:

Another day another two strays 💔 These two ado Another day another two strays 💔

These two adorable kitties are two strays, Lord Thomas has a few war wounds but as you can see he craves human companionship. Then we have dear Pavalova who was found in a sorry state. She is currently residing with our vets and is getting the love and care she desperately needs. 💖

Sadly, neither of these kitties were microchipped. 💔

Every week we take numerous calls regarding stray cats and how they can be helped. 💔

Firstly, it's vital to ensure the cat is stray, many cats roam around their neighbourhood. 

✅ Ask other residents in the area if they know the cat and where the cat lives. 
✅ Place a paper collar on the cat asking their human to contact you along with your contact number. 
✅ Place posters in the local area or hand-deliver flyers to residents. 
✅ Take a look on social media, many will post on lost and found groups if their beloved fur companion is missing. You can also post to say you’ve found a stray cat. 
✅ If you’ve done all the above and still believe the cat is a stray, please take the cat to a local vet to have them checked for a microchip. This is a free service. If the cat is chipped and the details are up to date, the vets will contact their humans. 

Sadly, whilst some cats are microchipped, many forget to keep their details up to date or even fail to register them at all. Please ensure your cat's details are up to date, it may be the only thing that stops you from being reunited 💔

If you have been unable to find their home, then please click on the link below for further advice:

If you believe the cat is injured or needs urgent veterinary care then you need to act straight away by contacting your local vet ⛑

Please share to help other stray cats 💖

Tiggy needs your HELP!! Please SHARE 🙏❤️ H Tiggy needs your HELP!! Please SHARE 🙏❤️

Her Royal Highness Tiggy is still looking for her forever throne! 👑

This queen has what we would call alot of "character" and let's face it, life would be dull if everyone behaved ALL the time! 😉

Can you imagine being dog royalty and finding yourself in kennels? It's a travesty. 😭

Tiggy just has very high standards and demands and quite rightly expects the world to revolve around her. 😍

Terrier lovers, if you know you know!! 😉

But on a more serious note, Tiggy is a wonderful dog, who is warm and affectionate especially with the ladies. Men can be a little scary and she will make them work for her affection in true Jane Austin style. 🤣

We are sure that she will be a fabulous dog in the home and will create a lasting bond with her new adopters. 🥰

Tiggy is looking for the following type of home 🏡 
✅️ A pet-free home, Tiggy would like to be the only dog on the planet as in her mind there's no dog better than her! 
✅️ A child-free home, small people means sharing and Tiggy never shares. 🤣
✅️ A private secure garden, to avoid Tiggy escaping and taking over the world.

If you would like to apply for Tiggy please click on the link below for more information:

It’s our pleasure to introduce you to The Aristo It’s our pleasure to introduce you to The Aristocats! 😻

This adorable little family of six arrived in our care from a multi-cat household. They range from 4 months to a year and we have three males and three females. 🐈

Coming from a multi-cat household has meant that they haven’t all had the one-to-one attention they should have during those important socialisation periods when they were younger. 💔

Despite only being with us for a short time, it’s been lovely to watch their personalities grow. They are learning to play with toys and their confidence is growing by the day. 💖

These youngsters will need dedicated humans to help them settle, to help them gain confidence and to give them the attention they deserve. 🙏

We will consider applications for them to go as pairs or as singles, especially with the confident ones. We will be looking for no pet households, to remove any unnecessary stress of introducing new fur companions to what will be a stressful period already. 🏡

Giving these kitties their chance to shine will be the most rewarding thing you do.🌟

They are looking for the following type of homes 🏡 
👶 They can live with cat-savvy children aged 10+
🐈 They cannot live with other cats
🐶 They cannot live with dogs
🏡 They need outdoor access

If you can offer any of these adorable kitties their loving homes, please click on the link below:

https://oxfordshireanimalsanctuary.org.uk/cat-adoption-questionnaire/

Please share their plea 🙏😻

You are safe now little ones 🍼💖 Towards the You are safe now little ones 🍼💖

Towards the end of last week, these two tiny little kittens were found in a box in a lay-by! 💔

Thankfully, they were found by one of our wonderful adopters! They cared for them for a few days and then asked if we could take them under our wing. So here they are!! 😻

It’s truly heartbreaking to see these little ones separated from their mother at such a tender age of just 3-4 weeks. They’re at a crucial stage where they should be with her, learning how to navigate the world around them. It’s such a sad situation to witness them all alone. 😭

We want to remind everyone: if you’re facing challenges, please don’t abandon your pets! Fortunately, these adorable little ones were rescued and given a second chance. The other ending doesn't bear thinking about it! 🙁

Let’s work together to ensure all animals find the loving homes they deserve! Ask for rescue help, we will always do our best to help. 😻

Welcome to OAS Sylvester & Sweety ❤️

A sweet gesture with a big impact! 🍰🐾 We’ A sweet gesture with a big impact! 🍰🐾

We’re sending a heartfelt thank you to Rita Demetriou-Swanwick and the rest of the Community Impact Committee at Taylor & Francis for their generous £135 donation, raised through a brilliant charity Bake Sale held at their head office in Milton Park on 6th June.

Staff were invited to vote for a local Oxfordshire charity to receive the proceeds, and we’re incredibly honoured to have been chosen.

Every slice sold helps support our vital work rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals in need across Oxfordshire. 

Thank you to everyone who baked, bought, and backed our cause. Your kindness means the world to us – and to the animals.

With gratitude,
From all of us at OAS 💚
