Your support helps us continue rescuing and caring for vulnerable cats. Thank you for choosing to adopt
At Little Souls Rescue and Sanctuary, some of our rescued cats and kittens have food intolerances — most commonly to chicken and fish (such as herring). These intolerances require a strict and specialist diet to keep them healthy and pain-free.
We provide a starter bag of their specific food on the day of adoption, and we strongly recommend continuing with this food unless advised otherwise by your vet.
Always let your vet know that you cat as a food intolerance and what too ,or they may not be able to help and support you and your cat with the right diet or treatment if you cats as a flare-up
⚠️ Important – Please Read Before Applying
Please only apply to adopt a cat with dietary needs if you:
✅ Can financially afford the cost of specialist food (per month)
✅ Fully understand what a food intolerance is and what it means for the cat
✅ Will not feed regular supermarket brands (e.g. Whiskas), which often contain hidden chicken or fish
✅ Are prepared to contact your vet immediately if a flare-up occurs and treat it prompt
🍽️ Why Is This So Important?
Feeding a cat with intolerances the wrong food can cause:
❌ Painful skin rashes or sores
❌ Vomiting or diarrhoea
❌ Excessive itching and grooming
❌ Hair loss
❌ Gut inflammation and internal discomfort
❌ Long-term health complications if left untreated
Even a small change in food — or sneaky scraps they may steal — can lead to days or weeks of discomfort, or worse.
🐱 A Cat Is Like a Child...
They don’t know what food might harm them — they just know it smells or tastes good. That’s why your care, consistency, and awareness are so important.
With the right diet and fast treatment if needed, these cats can live full, happy, and healthy live
💚 Thank You
By choosing to adopt a cat with special dietary needs, you are offering a second chance to one of the most vulnerable souls in our care.

Your adoption donation doesn’t just help cover vet care and food and everything above — it also helps with the fuel costs too for:
🐾 Trips to and from the vets
🐾 Rescue missions to bring animals to safety
🐾 Transporting cats to their new forever homes when needed
Every mile we travel is a step closer to giving them the life they deserve 💚🐾
🐾 So Why Stray & Free Roamer Cats Cost More
Many cats we rescue are strays or Free Roamers who’ve never had vet care and often arrive in poor condition.
Common Issues:
Untreated wounds or abscesses
Eye infections or ulcers
Dental disease
Malnutrition
FIV or FeLV
Worms, fleas, and mites
Fear or trauma needing time to heal
They may also need:
Disease testing (FIV/FeLV)
Longer isolation periods
Specialist diets or long-term medication
Free Roamers often cost double or triple due to their treatment, time, and care needs.
🐾 More Hidden Costs Little Souls Pay Out To Helping And Rescue Stray & Feral Cats
Many of the cats and kittens we rescue come from the streets — frightened, starving, and often injured. Safely trapping them takes time, patience, and specialist equipment — and it's another cost that few people see.
Here’s what’s involved:
🍗 Food to Trap
To gently and safely lure feral or frightened cats into traps, we use:
Tinned meats and pouches
Tuna, sardines, or smelly foods
Treats and warmed food on cold days
🛒 Monthly cost for trapping food:
£60.00–£120.00, depending on how many cats we are helping and how many sites we’re supporting.
🪤 Equipment Costs
Item Estimated Cost
Humane Cat Traps £75.00–£196 + each
Crush Cages £150.00–£250.00 each
These are essential for:
Catching scared or injured cats without harm
Providing vet treatment safely
Protecting our volunteers and the animals during handling
We need multiple traps and cages to manage different sites and emergencies — they’re a one-off investment, but wear and tear means we often need replacements.
💚 Your donation doesn’t just feed a cat — it helps us reach the ones who would otherwise never be saved.
👁️ Why Eye Infections Take Time to Heal
We work closely with trusted vets to provide the best care — but eye infections can take weeks or months to fully heal.
Reasons:
Delicate eye tissue heals slowly
Underlying viruses (like FHV) cause recurring issues
Malnourished or stressed cats need longer recovery
Trial and error with treatments is often necessary
Free Roamers may hide symptoms until they feel safe
Healing requires time, patience, and ongoing support.
Heavily pregnant or nursing cats may appear “fine” on arrival but often develop health issues after birth or weaning, especially eye infections.
Why?
Immune system weakened by pregnancy/birth
Stress triggers dormant viruses
Symptoms hidden to focus on kittens
Infections can pass between mum and kittens
These mums need rest and gentle veterinary care , love and time to recover fully.
🐾 Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule in Rehoming
Adopting a cat means patience — they need time to settle and feel safe. The 3-3-3 Rule helps explain this:
3 Days to decompress and feel safe
3 Weeks to settle into routines
3 Months to fully feel at home and show their true personality
Adjustment times vary — Free Roamers or nervous cats may take longer. We’re always here to help.
We are speaking up for cats with simple food intolerances — cats who are being misunderstood, mislabeled as incontinent, and wrongly put into nappies.
**Putting nappies on cats with food intolerances is causing them to suffer — physically, emotionally, and mentally. It has to stop.**
❓ What’s the Problem with Nappies?
Nappies may seem like a quick fix, but they cause more harm than good, especially when the underlying issue is a dietary intolerance — not a toileting problem.
Here’s what nappies can do:
-🔴 **Skin damage, rashes & infections** – Moisture and bacteria trapped inside cause painful sores.
🔴 **Matting of fur** – Nappies cause severe knots and mats, hiding wounds underneath.
🔴 **Stress & discomfort** – Cats are naturally clean. Being forced to wear nappies causes distress and emotional harm.
🔴 **Delayed or missed medical care** – Nappies mask symptoms instead of treating the root cause.
🔴 **Prolonged suffering** – Many of these cats can live normal, healthy lives with the right food and fast treatment. A nappy is not a solution — it’s a sign of misunderstanding.
## ⚠️ The Risk of Feeding the Wrong Food
Feeding a cat with food intolerances the wrong food — even once — can cause a serious flare-up.
If not treated quickly, flare-ups can lead to:
❌ Rapid weight loss
❌ Dehydration
❌ Lethargy and distress
❌ Long-term digestive damage
This is why we stress how important it is to stick to the right, vet-approved food and act fast if a reaction begins.
🧠 Think About It This Way…
Would you put a nappy on a human who had a food intolerance?
No — you’d keep to their special dietary requirements, see a doctor, and provide proper care.
Cats deserve the same compassion and respect.
✅ What These Cats Actually Need:
✔️ A strict, vet-approved diet
✔️ Prompt treatment give during flare-ups from a vet that understands food intolerances in cats
Putting nappies on cats with treatable dietary needs causes needless suffering — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
🛑 This Is Not Right and Must End
It’s time to speak up, spread awareness, and do better. Because care should never cause pain.
🐾 We Are the Voice for the Voiceless — So Let’s Be Heard
These cats can’t speak for themselves, but **we can**. Let’s raise our voices. Let’s educate. Let’s put an end to nappies being used on cats who simply need proper food and loving care.
📣 **Be their voice too. Stand with us today.**
🐾 Because they deserve better. Always
