THANKS
We would like to say THANK YOU to the following people for all
their help
We want to make a special mention of Emma Benn for her hard work
doing a sponsored walk and the Yorkshire Building Society where
she works for their outstanding generosity in providing funding
for new cat traps, holding pen, scanners etc.
Of course, a huge thank you to all those hundreds of people who
have adopted our cats and kittens – many of whom stay in touch
and send us photographs of their progress and those who
regularly send donations to keep us afloat. |

Oscar came
into us as the worst case of flea anemia we, or even our
vet, had ever seen. Even his pads were white. However,
his life was saved by Fred (picture below) who acted as
blood donor. Oscar made a full recovery thanks to Fred. |

Fred came
into us a few years ago as a tiny, abandoned kitten
himself and was nursed back to health. He
ended up staying with his foster carer and grew into a
fine, strong cat. So he was able to help little Oscar
whose life hung in the balance. Fred looking very laid
back having taken everything in his stride. He was oblivious to his heroic deed but certainly appreciated
the special chicken meal on his return from the vets. |

Colin Found
cowering at the side of a busy main road. De-hydrated,
starving and the most frightened cat we have ever seen.
If we put out a hand to stroke him he cowered
pathetically. Someone must have really hurt this poor
lad. Colin in February 2008. Vastly improved and
gained confidence by the minute. |

Aslan was
7 weeks old when found dumped on an industrial estate.
Filthy, frightened, covered in dirt and oil and harboring
a tummy full of worms. Aslan in February 2008. Looking
much more like his namesake. |

Mischa
came in with frostbite to his tail and ears, a broken
leg, so thin he couldn’t stand, not in the first flush
of youth and deaf as well. After having part of his tail
removed and the tips of his ears, his leg healed, he
went on to make a full recovery turning into a huge
fluffy moggy. We found him a wonderful home with a lady
who adores him and walks him round the garden on a lead
– which he loves. He rules the roost and is thoroughly
spoilt - his favourite treat is to be hand fed chicken
(only the best breast meat of course!) |

Alanna
with her one day old kittens. She had her babies
on someone’s doorstep but was being attacked by a
feral tomcat who killed one of the kittens. She was
rescued by the lady living at the house who saved her
life and that of her remaining three kittens. When she
was collected her an hour later the little black kitten
still had his placenta attached. Alanna was a brilliant
mum – very laid back and gentle – amazing
considering what she had gone through. Nine weeks later
the kittens were homed and Alanna was spayed and quickly
found a new and loving home |

 |
Glenda
managing exceptionally well on only three legs. After a
nasty accident and being abandoned Glenda came to us and
after surgery, a long convalescence and tons of TLC
Glenda is now thriving and can climb trees with the best
of them. The secret is, she doesn’t let the fact she
only has three legs interfere with her life. |

Flossie
in her new home. Sadly Flossie’s owner died leaving
her all alone. However, Flossie ticked all the boxes for
her new owner who wanted a cat over seven years old –
Flossie is eight, a cat who loves sitting on laps.
Flossie loves nothing better and one who was happy
indoors – this is just what Flossie ordered! All in
all a wonderful success story. Flossie was so lucky as
she only had to wait a couple of weeks for her “fairy
godmother” to grant her wish |

HAND
REARING four black kittens. These little guys were
abandoned by their mum and came to us at three weeks
old. This is Angie, our Welfare Officer and Miracle
Worker making sure they get the best of everything.
These are but a fraction of the number of kittens Angie
has hand-reared and who have gone to their loving new
homes to be spoilt for the rest of their lives |
