Our story

Hello, my name is Hunter and I am 8.

Pussycat Lodge is very special to me.
When I was 6 we adopted Hershey from Pussycat Lodge. I have autism, ADHD and a neurological disorder. We decided to adopt a cat as apparently they can be very helpful for children like me to regulate our emotions.

Hershey has completely changed my life. He makes me feel better when I am sad and he is a very important member of our family.

We want to help pussycat Lodge to get their new shelter space so that they can rescue other cats like our Hershey. He is the kindest cat and we are so glad that they helped him in his time of need.

There are an estimated 120,000 cats in UK rescues waiting to be adopted. We decided to use that number as inspiration for our estimate of 120,000 steps in July. We did some research, apparently 120,000 steps for an 8 year old works out as about 39 -45 miles. We have set the goal to walk at least 45 miles in July to help Pussycat Lodge and other cats like Hershey.

Thank you so much for reading! Please share or donate if you are able to.

From Hunter!

Our updates

AND HUNTER IS  DONE!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

It is the last day of Hunters 120,000 steps for pussycat lodge. 120,000 steps for an 8yo is estimated to be approx 39-45 miles, so we set out with the aim to meet the higher tier and walk 45 miles to round it up to a simple number.

In total added up this evening and the very end of this month Hunter has completed a total of 44.2 MILES in total (our tracking app works in km so my estimate / conversion apparently didnt account for the 0.8 miles we missed 🤣🤣🤣)
I am so proud of him. (And his little sister for joining him for the majority!!!!)

*****Photos of yesterday and todays walks are in updates below.
Todays tracking has been split as we have been doing for our longer walks since we had the gps mishap mid month and lost a mile of tracking on a walk. Ironically if that had not of happened we would be over the 45 🤣

Hello lovely humans, we are on 35.5 miles out of our goal total, meaning we have just 9.5 miles and 3 days left to go! Very easily done and we are really excited. 

We are in somewhat of a heat wave this month (for anyone not in the uk) and temperatures are regularly near 30c and above currently! we have had to be very strategic planning our walks and routes due to not only little Hunters wellbeing but also his wonderful little sister, shes only 4 and has enjoyed joining Hunter on most of the walks (certainly all of the long ones!) So we try and break out a longer walk wherever possible to cover the distance in the time alloted.

I can only upload one photo at a time per update (unsure if its just the sites policy or an issue accessing from a mobile) therefore have created 2 collages with 4 walks in each (8 walks total represented) and then 2 separate uploads of our long walks updated separately as we had some tracking issues and lost a mile on one due to the GPS app not caring for sharing location services when i was also using google maps navigation in the background to audibly actually tell us which way to go for the quickest route towards the airport. (We were using that as the end point before turning back)

I wanted to add in all of the walks in one place as im finding it hard to keep track of the updates and tracking being posted in different places and after reviewing the updates here i wasnt sure how much had been missed still. We have multiple photos of hunter on all of his walks as you may have seen in previous updates. Due to the limited nature of photo uploads at one time per update we are having this end, if there are any walks on the new updates that arent already uploaded with photos of Hunter on them, we can happily provide them with time stamps if needed 😀
