A Cat Sanctuary is not just for Christmas!

It is that wonderful festive time of year again when many sanctuarys and rescue centres across the country receive a large influx of cats as owners go away for the holidays and sadly do want the responsibility of taking care of the once cute and cuddly kitten not a fully grown cat. Consequently the sanctuary is packed with fabulous furry felines desperately looking for a loving forever home.

It is always difficult to pick as they are of course all deserving and fabulous! So on a blind date theme...... If your looking for

"Mr Cute and Cuddly" the Tabby and white boy currently residing in Pen 10 is your man. He loves to be picked up and snuggles into you very tightly. If your happy to have your face licked and kissed then head straight for Mr I need to be loved! (picture inset!)

"Mr Ahhhhhh thats so sad!" is waiting for you in Pen 11. He has recently been hit by a car but survived intact. Mr Brain Damaged Boy is surely going to win the sympathy vote every time! His head wobbles as he walks but dont let that fool you into thinking he is not the purrfect feline companion! At 18 months old he is a playful cutie who loves a tummy tiggle and adores playing with furry mice. Unlikely to be at the sanctuary for long with his winning character and gorgeous silky fur.

"Mr and Mrs Ive eaten too much Christmas Pudding" aka Lucky and Whisky. OK...... so the diet needs to start now! Right NOW!! forget the New Years Resolutions you are going to need to be firm with the food with this pair but in return they will be faithful loving companions always keen to roll over and be fussed for hours. A wonderful addition to any family.

"Miss Scared of her own skin" Cassie is now the sanctuary's longest resident rescued from a houseof 50 cats she is surely going to be looking for a home with at least one feline to become friends with. She is going to be a project for the right home a wonderful opportunity to show that given time any cat from any background can learn to trust humans again. Not one to join a home of lively ankle bitters! (young children)

And finally for now... Mr Warm and Fuzzy "Freddy" a sad Christmas tale deserving of a happy ending? At 14 years old he has coped well with coming into a busy sanctuary and is even putting up with the kittens in his pen jumping about all over the place at a time when he surely deserves to be putting his feet up? He is a handsome gent in need of the simplier things in life, a warm spot to sleep, lots of fuss and regular meals. Freddy would be the ideal gentle companion for someone to want to love and take care of. Not our oldest resident by far! Age discrimination is not just for the 2 legged people around here!

And to let all our dedicated volunteers know Buttons our fabulous ex-longest resident has found a fabulous home to be loved and spoilt rotten., It was fabulous to see you gone, we hope you are really enjoy your new pad! Dont forget to write to tell us how you are getting on!
