Ellie
This gorgeous ex kitty shelter mom,
arrived at kitty shelter as a young mommy cat about 4 years ago,
we homed her babies and after about 6 months homed her. About a
year later we got a phone call from, the owners family who
informed us that the owner had been institutionalized and had
abandoned his cat who hadn't been fed for weeks by this stage.
We once again took her in fattened her up and brought her back
to health. After a while we managed to home her to a family with
loads of kids; she lived happily with this family for about 2
years until last week when we got a call that unfortunately she
had to come back! The latest addition to the family a tiny baby
only a few days old was allergic, and the cat had to go! The
family felt awful but didn't have a choice. So here she is,
completely hooked on the company of children, preferably in
large groups, and desperately needing a nice noisy home, Please
come meet her!

Sebastian
This tiny bundle of fur, was brought in by some wonderful people
who had found him and rescued him, immediately bringing him through to us. I
took one look and thought, his snuffles was the worst case I have ever seen.
We immediately started meds, his eyes were so infected that I thought he was
sure to suffer a ruptured eyeball, something we have seen happen in severe
herpes cases. To cut a long story short a month later he is still on
anti-biotic and several types of eye drops; slowly but surely he is getting
better, he has even started playing and purring. We have tested him for aids
and leukaemia and he tested negative, he has got such a lot of fight in him,
I really think he is going to make it. There is nothing more rewarding then
nursing these babies back to health when all the odds are stacked against
them. We Hope that one day soon, Sebastian will find a special home that
will love and look after him, he deserves nothing less!

Senior Citizens
Here are some elderly ladies and gentlemen, that have landed up living out
their golden years at the shelter. Their owners are deceased or like with
Julius the cat, who is at least 15 years old, his owners decided he is old
and should be put to sleep. He is still healthy and although grumpy at times
he still lives a quality life. His owners haven't bothered to ask how he is
doing. Don't animals deserve the dignity of getting old gracefully just like
humans; especially when they are happy and healthy? Here are a few pictures
of our 'older folk':-
