OLDIES ARE THE BEST!!

We have a few older cats here who would love to find a nice, cosy home for their retirement. They are all such sweethearts who love fuss and attention. Can you offer one a home?

Fred - 16yr old tabby/white male. Loves a fuss and will follow you around until you stop to give him a fuss. Gorgeous.

Nina - 14yr old tortie female. Her owner recently passed away suddenly and she has found herself back with us. She has understandably taken a little while to settle back in, but is a lovely lady who loves a fuss.

Beth - 15yr old grey/white female. A gentle quiet lady, who enjoys a fuss and lots of attention. She came in with Chris so it would be nice to keep them together.

Chris - 16yr old black male. A very sweet, gentle and quiet boy. He loves fuss and attention.

They would all love to meet you. They have no medical issues, so just need a quiet home with someone who will spoil them in their retirement.

SO GORGEOUS!

These young cats are looking for a home. They are all just under a year old and are a little shy. So they will need a quiet home either in pairs or where there is another young cat. They are getting more confident each day and will now take treats from you.

We have rehomed a few of their siblings and they have settled into a home very quickly. Bonding well with the other cat in the home.

They are such lovely boys and girls that get on really well with other cats.

Can you offer one or maybe 2 of them a home?

MISSING IN ASHWELLTHORPE, NORFOLK

This is Clyde. He is a lovely boy, he maybe shy initially but is friendly. He has been missing from his home on the Street in Ashwellthorpe (at the church end of the village) for a while now. He was chased off by another male cat, so may be scared to go home.

He is neutered and microchipped.

Please keep a look out for him and let us know if you have seen him or are possibly feeding him.

Thank you.

FINALLY.........SOME SUN!!

After weeks of cold and grey weather, what a treat to have some lovely sunny skies today. The cats were certainly enjoying some time outside.
And a real bonus to he able to hang some of our mountain of cat bedding washing out to to dry properly too!!

POOR PHOEBE

This is lovely Phoebe. When she came into us, we suspected she was pregnant, this was confirmed by the vets.

So we waited and waited, but nothing happened. We were getting a bit concerned so sent her back to the vets. No pregnancy. And no she hadn't miscarried.

She was booked in for a spay as the vets thought they could feel something. They did a midline spay, only to find she had an ectopic pregnancy. Multiple kittens in various places and one fused to her intestine. They managed to remove all the kittens, which were all deceased.

She is now recuperating and is on antibiotics. Such a trauma for a young cat to go through.

So this is just one more reason to get your cat spayed! If she had been left to fend for herself outside, she would have died. So just think about your little cat and do the right thing.

NEUTER/SPAY today!

It is not fair or right to expect the rescue centres to pick up the pieces and the costs just because you can't be bothered.

Phoebe is a lucky little cat, and has a lovely home waiting for her.

IT'S WARMER NEARER THE SUN......!!

Andrea looks very pretty against the crisp blue winter sky this morning.

She reports that it's only -2 degrees up here- not -6 degrees which we had driving in first thing!!

Brrrrrrrrr..........

Love the hat Treacle- very appropriate!!

Our grass cutting team at the rescue centre can't work today because of the freezing conditions. They have plenty of hay until the grass thaws out though!

Stay warm everyone!

ALL WARM AND COSY....

After the coldest night of the winter so far, the cats wanted to let all our lovely supporters know that they are all warm and snuggled up this morning........

The heating is on and the straw has been fluffed up ready for another cold one tonight.

At least the sun is shining!

WATCH THIS WILDLIFE SPACE........

As part of the recent groundwork carried out in our Oldies Village, this pond has been created in a quiet corner of the rescue centre to help with drainage. Plants and features will be added over the coming weeks.

As wildlife needs all the help it can get, we are hoping to see some bird and insect visitors over the coming months.

Updates to follow!

WHAT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION??!!...

Penny's thoughts of working even harder to keep our shop store room tidy have been totally forgotten!!

She is smitten with this fabulous little cat sofa that was recently donated and has decided the resolution can wait until after her morning rest!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lovely Fifi would like to wish you all a very happy new year. She is hoping that 2025 will be her year to find a new home. She is very sweet really, just a typical tortie!

Thank to everyone who has adopted a rescue cat/kitten or 2 in 2024. And a big thank you again to all our lovely volunteers......couldn't do it without you.

Have a lovely evening and see you all in 2025.

WE SAID NO JEANS ALLOWED.........!!

Word is out there is a New Year's Eve party being organised in the cat pens tonight.

These two heavyweights - Woody and Felix - have been hired as bouncers to ensure there are no drunken antics.

Well....... we wouldn't argue with them!
