Hi Everyone! Fabulous Friday!! time for your update on all the goings on at the sanctuary. Lots of news to tell you but first a small request. I have been asked by Epping Forest Volunteers Bureau to give a short talk on what volunteering means to me. I think we have a fantastic team of volunteers at the sanctuary and would be keen to know your best bits of volunteering! Whether it is bathing an 8 week kitten or fretting strongly about how to manouevre the food bowl near the feral cat who has never felt human touch. Please email them to me alison@chestnutcatsanctuary.co.uk only the happy thoughts please! I have been at the sanctuary for over 3 years now and have many funny antidotes to share about the pickles I have got myself into but have enjoyed every moment. There have also been huge amount of changes in that time but the ultimate aim remains the same "to provide sanctuary for homeless and mistreated cats". Ok now for the amazing stuff fabulous work done by Terry our resident cat rescuer who was out in force this week. Two 1 week old kittens were found in wasteland. Normally requiring exhausting round the clock hand rearing we decided to see if we could find a surogate mother. Luck was in hand as a gorgeous black and white long hair mum came to the rescue. It was amazing to watch her tend to her two new babies as well as her current four. As soon as they are old enough for photos I will post a picture of them all! It doesnt always work but we are extremely pleased to say they are all content and happy. Lots of wonderful single and paired cats found new homes this week and are clearly already delighting their new owners what fabulous pictures of Jenny and Lula. Gizmo, Dipsy, Tom, Sparky, Spider, Misty, Scraggles, Fluffy, Rocket, Spiff and many more! For those of you interested in Nemo she is up for homing fit and well!
