We have for sale a Beko washing machine. It was only purchased at the end of October last year before we upgraded to a Commercial Machine. It was purchased from Beko for £319 and as can be seen from the photos it is a 10kg load with 1400 spin speed. We are open to offers and buyer will have to arrange collection.

The shop is open again! Big shout out to our friends from AXA who came to help us paint the front room and hallway last week as part of their Global Day of Giving. And the staff and shop volunteers who have worked tirelessly to empty and then replace the shop items. Come and have a look soon!

Well, after several days of prep we are all ready for Decorating Day tomorrow! Our cat rescue centre remains open for rehomings as usual, but visitors will have to come down the side rather than through the building. Despite the success of our Spring Fayre, we do still have cats looking for their new home, so do please contact us, and spread the word to others.

We had a very successful Spring Fayre. Thank you to everyone that visited or made a donation on line. As well as raising money and meeting many friends old and new we also managed to secure new homes for 7 of our cats, which is a fantastic result. Thank you one and all!

Hoping our wonderful supporters can help us out. We have a new washing machine at the Centre which needs to be carried upstairs to the laundry room. We don't have enough able bodied people to do it at the moment so we are hoping someone can help us out.

We have been a bit quiet lately due to absence amongst both staff and volunteers. However, we are now back up and running and what's more we are now open on Friday mornings, meaning you can visit us on any morning except Sunday. See you soon!

⭐ Cat of the Week ⭐️
This weeks cat of the week is the lovely Pudding! Pudding is a 7 year old female cat who came to us through no fault of her own. She is very friendly and loves a fuss, she also enjoys her treats. Pudding is looking for a home where she can have access to plenty of spaces up high as this is where she loves to spend most of her time, cat trees and wall mounted cat shelves and hammocks would be ideal for this lovely girl. If you think that you could be the right match for Pudding then please don’t hesitate to contact us 🐈‍⬛
