Free Will-Writing Service Haven’t Written Your Will Yet? It’s Time to Take Action! If completing your will is still on your to-do list, you’re not alone. According to the latest research from the Association of Lifetime Lawyers, 1 in 10 adults in the UK have started making a will but haven’t yet finished it, and nearly half (49%) of adults in the UK don’t have a will in place. If you’re over 18 and haven’t yet made your will, you probably need to. It’s never too early to make your will. A will ensures that your wishes are respected and that your loved ones are taken care of after you’re gone. Without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the strict rules of intestacy - possibly in a way you wouldn’t have chosen. This can cause unnecessary distress for your family during a difficult time. Here’s the good news: Yorkshire Cat Rescue has partnered with Farewill to offer you a FREE will-writing service. Farewill are the UK’s best-rated death specialists, known for their outstanding and award-winning service and commitment to supporting individuals through this important process.

Every special gift we receive from our supporters, no matter how large or small, makes a real and tangible difference to the lives of the cats and kittens we help and care for, like Maximus Decimus Meridius... Maximus: The Gladiator Who Fought for His Second Chance 🐾 Some cats have an unbreakable spirit, and Maximus Decimus Meridius is one of them. Named after a true warrior, this brave boy battled his way back from the brink of disaster - and now, he’s enjoying a well deserved happy ever after. Maximus was rushed to the vet after being hit by a car at 40 miles an hour. With no owner to be found, the vets turned to Yorkshire Cat Rescue for help. Despite his severe internal injuries and a broken femur, we knew this fighter deserved a second chance, so we stepped in to fund his life-saving operations and care. The odds were stacked against him. The vets weren’t sure he’d survive the night, but Maximus wasn’t ready to give up. Drawing on every ounce of strength, he pulled through, proving he truly lives up to his name. After six weeks of cage rest, expert medical care, and endless love, Maximus made an incredible recovery. His cheeky, affectionate personality started to shine, and he was recently adopted by someone who will cherish him forever. Now, Maximus has the loving home he fought so hard for - a place where he will never have to struggle again. From a tragic accident to a life filled with warmth, comfort, and cuddles, his journey is nothing short of extraordinary. His new family adores him, and he finally has what every cat deserves: a safe, happy, and love-filled forever home. Even a small donation can help us continue rescuing and caring for vulnerable cats and kittens for years to come.
