On Sunday 11th September at our annual Gala we had the official opening of our new annex and reception at the Adoption Centre on Long Lane. Chief Executive of Cats Protection, Peter Hepburn and international artist Pollyanna Pickering started the day with the official unveiling of the plaque for the new annex, kindly funded by Derby and District Branch of Cats Protection.
The weather was bright and breezy and brought the crowds along to help us celebrate the unveiling, there were stalls to browse, refreshments, tombola and entertainment for the children and adults.
During the day some of the cats were lucky enough to meet their new families for the first time and have since gone to their new homes.
Our next event is the Christmas Cracker (the year has flown by!) on November 27th, more information will be available in the next few weeks.
