Brrrr it's far too cold outside - do you think she will notice I have climbed in the duvet?!

Well for all of you who are avid fans of the sanctuary's cats you will be very pleased to know......... "Hope" has finally been re-homed!! Her new owners are familiar with timid cats as their previous feline hid under the sofa for 9 months! Hopefully Hope wont be as nervous as that and relax in her new home which she undoubtedly deserves.

"Buttons" a 6 month old black and white is our longest resident. We are looking for a real Cinderella ending for him please with a request for a fairy godmother or two! Def. a moggie for an experienced cat owner but with the potential for lots of love and affection in return in time.

Two of our new residents deserve a special mention Freddy a delightful gentle 14 year old tabby arrived from an elderly care home would be ideal as a loving companion and Patch a 16 year old girly who would give anything for the odd treat of tuna every now and then. Both are irresistable and in need of a peaceful home to purr to their hearts content.

If your seeking a pair of friendly felines look no further than brothers "George and Puss" or Mum and Son "Lucky and Whisky" both pairs equally deserving and very good all round affectionate cats.

Finally if a breed is more your thing we have a tortie girl with a face worth kissing! She is an "Exotic" breed left at a vets a softie with no name. A real cutie with fur!

Wishing a purrfect new home to Toby (black cat), Toby (black and white) Maisey, Owen (grey persian) and Thomas.

Hi everyone! its an alien floating head (or maybe not...!) argh where have my paws gone??!

Being a kitten and very lively I have just been rescued after trying to fall in the washing bowl while this kind person is trying to clean out my pen. It has been a bit of a wild night playing with my brothers and sisters! Still what would you expect from someone as innocent looking as me?!

As penance I have had to have my photo taken.

I know I know I could have at least tried to smile still it is all a bit scary having only been alive for 6weeks I am still not sure if these human folk are friend or foe! Maybe you can convince me that it is good to relax and enjoy being cuddled (you will have to convince one of the other too as us kittens are only homed in pairs and definitely not as presents so count me off your shopping list!).

While I am here I just want to say on behalf of all the rescue cats a big thank you to the Alice Noakes Charitable Trust for their grant. We are very grateful for their support to Chestnut Cat Sanctuary! I will update you shortly on what we have spent the grant on. Wacth this space.

Whiskers for now! x x

Arent I a real cutie?!! (and the kitten is quite sweet too!!). Thought I would take the time to update you with the cats coming and going from the sanctuary recently.
Some of those homed this month include Ben, Jerry, Henry, Timmy, Puma, Charlie, Buster, Dennis, Olive, Anouska, Cindy-Lou, Harriet, Bella, Phoebe, Lucy, and a beautiful grey persian called Owen. Lots and lots of other rescued cats who havent had names have also found new homes we hope you are all being spoilt rotten (and kept indoors for at least 6 weeks please to ensure you stay safe!)
For those of you who are thinking of coming to the sanctuary to get a new cat we have plenty of gorgeous moggies to tempt you. Georgie, a gorgeous tubby tabby and white female was left at the sanctuary with an eye infection is a very friendly soul. Tyger, a young soft tabby likes to hide under his fleece it is very warm and snug in there when you stroke him. Marmalade, a ginger tom and Buttons, a 6 month old black and white are both complete wimps love each each other vey much and are going as a pair. Toby is a handsome dude just looking for a warm spot to rest his paws on while 16 year old Patch has had a very rough life. You can find him curled up fast alseep in pen 3 just waiting for a stroke under the chin.
And what about me? yes I am a sweetie my name is Ellie, I got my new home on Friday. My owner loves me to bits I even get to sleep on her pillow. I am a little demanding as I like to fussed and cuddled a lot! but hey when you look this cute you can afford to request all the attention. Hope you are all not too frightened of all the loud bangs this weekend Ellie x x

P.s just want to say thanks to the sanctuary staff who took very special care of me and all the other kittens requiring lots of time, heartache and love to make sure we have the best possible chance in life. dedicated to gentle soul MP.
