Christmas time

Successful Christmas fayre

Last Friday we held our annual Christmas Fayre here at the adoption centre. As soon as the clocked ticked to 4pm people started flooding in through the doors. It was completely jam packed in the cattery for the first hour, a very good turn out.

Father Christmas went down a storm with the kids and as usual all of our festive games and our large raffle were popular. We would like to thank everyone who helped to make the evening special. Also thank you to everyone who supported us we raised over £1000! 

The money raised on the night will go to help all of the lovely cats in our care. During Christmas time we put Christmas stockings up on every cat pen. We like to fill these with lots of treats and toys for the cats to enjoy over the festive period. We can use some of the money raised to buy the cats these special Christmas presents. 


Re-homing over the festive period

We would also like to stress an important message that a cat is for life and not just for Christmas. The adoption centre will be closed for re-homing over Christmas from 18th December to 1st January. We hope you sympathise with us as to why we do this. We have so many cats in need of permanent loving homes and we cannot risk them being 'bought' as Christmas gifts and then having to sadly come back into care. 

Having said that we would be delighted if potential adopters would come up to visit the cats before then. We are hoping to get as many cats into homes as possible before Christmas. For more information about this please contact us here at the centre on 01983 562609. Thank you.
