The blogger is an award winner yeah! very excited and surprised to hear myself and a fellow volunteer for The Cinamon Trust have won an award! The Cinamon Trust cares for pets often from the elderly or provides short term care for people who go into hospital. Myself and a lovely lady called Dee volunteer to walk an 11 year old dog called Pippin for an elderly lady. I would love a dog but with 4 nervous cats a dog is unlikely to calm the situation! The Cinamon Trust also cares for cats and all kinds of small animals. Being a volunteer can be a lot of fun but so very tiring esp. if you spend a weekend caring for the cats at the sanctuary with so many kittens! Chestnut Cat Sanctuary was busy today with 8 cats finding new homes and 5 more mummy cats reserved to go home this week. Paws of love to Charlie, Tiger Lily, Rosie, Susie, Lucky, Elsa and Kiki, and all the kittens who left the sanctuary. All the hard work is worth it to see you go off to your new homes with TLC coming in abundance! Some of my favourites at the sanctuary include the gorgeous "Beanie",a 3 year old girly with bags of energy who loves to sit on your back and snuggle up to your neck and "Tom" a gentle, friendly and placid 10 year old white and black cat who loves to be cuddled. Tom came in due to a road traffic accident in Barking and no longer has a tail. He would fit in a multi-cat house if the other cats are as laid back as him! I cuddled Mickey the little brain damaged boy today and he has a special message for Gillian! "We aka, Alison and Ray havent forgotten you and think of you hard at work on a Saturday hope your S.B skills are not being put to use!!"
