Each year seems to be busier than the one before and in 2009 we dealt with 301 cats.  We found homes for 202 of them and over 50 of the others were ferals that were neutered and returned and others were kept by the people who found them after we had arranged vet treatment for the cats.  Unfortunately we picked up several cats that were carrying FIV or Felv.  People seem to think they don't need to get males neutered but this means they get into fights and spread these diseases.  Unneutered males also tend to be smelly and stray further afield so please have your male cats neutered as well as the females.  This can be done from 4 months of age on advice from your vet.  We had to take in over 100 kittens that people didn't want during the year and although they are very cute they cost a lot to feed, micro chip and vaccinate.  While there are so many unwanted adults available we do not need more kittens brought into the world.  When finding homes our main concern is that the cat is going to be loved and have a safe home for life.

If you would like to adopt a cat why not have a look at what we have available by visiting our Adopt a cat page where we try and include some images so that you can see what they look like.

We also have lots of kittens coming in all the time, if we don't have one when you ring, we will put you on our list for when we do get some in, which is quite frequently!  Call us on  01842 810018.
