I am all purred out......... what a weekend! Lots of cats who found new homes and sadly quite a few admissions. Lets sandwich the good with the bad so for starters

Lots of paws of love to all the cats recently homed including
Harry, Daisy, Heidi, Flossie, Molly, Fleur, Buzz!, Molly 2!, Babe, Jaya, Maisey, Roxy, Ronnie, Marty, Teddy. Ellie, Sammy, Gingles, Cleo. Fat Cat, Blackie, Rose, Barney, Buster, Fluff, Coco. Simba, Suzy. Tibbs, Misty, Tosca, Henry, Tammy and Mister Tom.

A hello to Lady a sweet girly who adores a lap to curl up on.

A special mention for some of our stunning cats who for one reason or another don't seem to be sparkling

"Mittens" - An 18month old girl who has had kittens loves a fuss on her terms, likes a comfy lap, has a good appetite, hates other cats and has a surprising extra digit on each of her paws hence the name! (I am lolling about in Pen 9!)

"Treacle" An adorable 2 year old poser ginger cat who simply adores to play, play and play some more. Would be a fantastic companion for someone who is looking for a real companion cat. Will need lots of toys and space to work off all his energy (find me in Pen 11)

"Thomas" A huge all black boy who loves his woman, what a sensible fella?! Has paws the size of a panther's and the character to match your not likely to find him hiding under the couch!

"Rosie" a 4 year old tabby cat for those up for a challenge will offer lots of love if you have the time to get to know her otherwise wow betide the person who tries to stroke another cat in her pen without giving her a fuss too def. one for the single life.

"Katie" the tabby cat to join you on your new years resolution to loose a few ££! she likes breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed! there isnt much that can shift her out apart from her all white companion who likes to get her on her toes every once in a while. Looking for a quiet home as she was used to an elderly lady.

And a short note to mention Ellie, our much loved sweetie girl has gone for some foster care to give her the love and time she needs to put on weight. We are always thinking of you!

Dont forget the teams volunteers night out 28.02.08 all welcome ask Jackie / Alison for details!

With many thanks to the gift bequeathed by John Cook in lieu of floral tributes

Happy New Year Everyone!


A little late but hey it has been busy around here! Over 20 cats have come in during the past week and not one as gorgeous as me!! Modest? perhaps? someone has got to be!
I am sure you all know by now I am Ellie. I have a little baggage we are not talking suitcases and bags! I have an irritable bowel not the sexiest of illness but who wouldnt be a little irritable with my problems? I only eat a very few foods which can get boring. I am looking for a very special home with someone with lots of feline experience and buckets of TLC!

Good luck to all the 2008 cats already homed this year!

Lucky and Whisky - May you snore together forever!!

Freddy and girlfriend! - you deserved such a fab home and we are very glad you have found it!

Tigger, Princess, Teddy, Molly, Crystal, 2 black kittens, Monica and Rachael, Mum and kitten and Marty

A big HELLO! and welcome to some of our new residents! (dont worry you will settle in very quickly it is really not that bad here honestly!) Buzz, Harry, Polly, Toeby, Vicki, Molly the 2nd, Mabel, Babe and Mittens!


"Mitch" What a handsome fella. 2007 x x
