Mother Lena's Cat Rescue

"If you can't feed 100 then feed just one."

Mother Teresa

My name is Mother Lena and I started Mother Lena's Cat Rescue because all animals deserve a better life.

I have always loved cats. I live in Sweden and in the winter many cats go hungry or they freeze to death due to the harsh weather. I wish to put an end to this misery by providing loving homes for the many homeless cats in my area and provide them with food medical needs.

We try to catch as many cats as we can with insulated cat cages laid on the snow. When we catch a cat we bring them in nurse them back to good health get their medical needs taken care of then all the time we love them turning them into good loving grateful cats others can now adopt.

If you love cats like we do then please help support our efforts by donating what you can or by buying an item on our shopping page. All monies go to rescue,food and medical needs of the cats.

Thank you and may God Bless you for your help

The first kitten we caught was Engel/Engla.
The next evening we went out, there were too many people around. There are often a lot of people, when you are out rescuing cats, knowing exactly how to catch a stray cat or how to take care of them ... at least they think they do ... :P
These people usuaully never do anything to help out. They just tell you what you are doing wrong. Then there are the people, who want the cats to stay outside, as their pets, but they don´t take care of them and don´t really want any responsability for them either. They are very aggressive when you come to take their sweethearts away. These people are ignorant about how the cats suffer from infections, inner parasites, hunger and cold weather.
They can be very loud, scaring the cats away. That is why nighttime is the best time for rescuing cats, in my opinion.
The other night we had to go home without any cat, because of all the turmoil on the place...

Next time we went out, Mattias and I was out together. The cats were well fed, so we tried to play with them and make them relax a bit. They keep at a safe distance, until their hunting instinct really kicks in and they forget about you being close. This was the case with Sören, who was caught in a game of sticks.
We were very happy to take one of Engla´s siblings home. Now she wouldn´t have to be alone anymore ...

Cat's Prayer

I hope I'm not asking too much, Lord;
All I want is a home of my own,
And to know when my next meal is coming
Instead of the scraps I get thrown.

I've been out in the cold for so long now,
Just coping as best as I can;
But it's not been so long I've forgotten
The touch of a soft caring hand.

I look in house windows at Christmas,
As cats doze by the fire, quite replete;
How I'd welcome a box in the kitchen,
And tasty food for me to eat.

For me there was tinsel and giftwrap,
But the fun didn't last very long.
They put me outside with the rubbish;
I still don't know what I did wrong.

I really don't want to be greedy;
At the moment I'm all skin and bone,
So would it be too much to hope for
That someone will give me a home?

Cats with Halos

I need to tell you about the cat Killen the boy,the guy

He came to our house, very hungry and injured. He had a big wound on his tail and he was close to be dried out.
We took him in and fed him, giving him lots of fluid.
He had his tail treated fro a very long time, with antibiotics and different ointments, but the wound just would not heal.
He also was in pain, but he always let us treat his tail, he definitely knew we were helping him.

The tail did not heal and the vets did not understand why. After some time, we had to let the vet amputate
a big part of it, to rescue Killen. It all went very well and it looked so good after healing.

About two weeks after the tail had healed, Killen were suddenly being weak and sick.
He could not walk properly and he could not urinate, when trying.
We took him to the animal hospital as quickly as we could and they did a lot of physical examination and also took some
X-rays. At last they had to do a surgery on him and it showed he had advanced Cancer. The tumors had spread and they could not save him. They had to put him to sleep.
He stayed with us for six months....

Killen was the most courageous and loving cat you could ever meet. Everybody who met him just loved him.
His eyes were green and when you looked into them, every problem in your life just disappeared. It was like he was filled with love. He was very open to all he met. He just walked up to my other cats here like he was saying
"Hi! ...... I´m Killen...... Who are you?" and he looked at you with those beautiful and trusting eyes.
I think he was sent here to teach us about love and trust.

I see Killen as a Cat Angel, protecting the cats that we help....
I see him before me when things are tough and I think about how he managed to spread love around, even when he was sock and in pain. I owe him so much....and I love him with all my heart.
He is the reason I met Angelica, my young friend who has helped me with the kittens.
Angelica and I are still the best of friends, even though the age difference is big.
She is a teenager and I am from Stone Age....

Thank you Killen for all the love and thank you for bringing me my beloved friend Angelica
You are an Angel now and I can see you playing in the fields.
The sun is shining where you are, your pain is gone and you are playing with the other cats.

The Starfish Story

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.

The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?

You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,

and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”

I made a difference for that one.”
