Did you see us on David Baddiel’s Cat Man?

Bumble the wobbly cat in David Baddiel's Cat Man TV show on Channel 4


Hello! We’re Holly’s Merry Moggies, the rescue for wobbly and disabled cats that was featured on episode 2 of David Baddiel: Cat Man on Channel 4.

We’re a small, independent shelter in Nottingham, but we take cats from all over the country and rehome all over the place, too. We specialise in cats with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, aka wobbly cat syndrome: a condition cats develop in the womb, usually when the mum is unvaccinated and contracts a horrible disease called panleukopenia.

We have 8 cats permanently residing at Moggy Manor (either ones that were too disabled to find homes for, or ones we couldn’t bear to part with!) and a variety of excellent moggies in our cat rooms and at our fosterers’ houses, waiting for their perfect home to come along.

We take the cats that no one else will: the disabled, difficult and different, as we like to say. That includes blind cats, deaf cats, cats with missing eyes or limbs, cats with epilepsy, heart problems and so on. Many of our kitties were facing being put to sleep before they came to us, and we’re very proud of how many we’ve been able to help and home.

If you would like to donate to our work so we can keep helping the kitties with nowhere else to turn, you’ll find all the options on this page.

If you’d like to keep up with our kitties and what we’ve been up to (no sad or horrible content, we hate that stuff too), we’re on Facebook, Instagram and Patreon, and occasionally remember to update TikTok. Thank you for caring about our little rescue!
