February's round-up
February is normally a quiet month for the Cats Shelter, with numbers of visitors generally slowing down. Despite this we have re-homed 24 cats and kittens this month including a few that were a little bit of a challenge to find them suitable homes. Hobo was our SOS cat a few months ago. He had arrived at the shelter in November 2009 as a stray and was a very independent cat after living and surviving on his own. He was very playful and affectionate on his own terms but when he wasn’t happy he would give a cheeky bite. But luckily for Hobo someone fell in love with his cheeky character and was happy to accept him for who he was. We have heard he has made himself right at home and will not be moved from his favourite chair.
Minto and Humbug were also adopted this month; they were featured in our December’s news. They were brother and sister brought to the shelter with terrible flu after living outside in a greenhouse through the winter months. After months of treatment and loving attention they were soon on the mend and getting used to people. Because they were used to living outdoors they were timid cats that needed a special home and a dedicated owner. All the staff are delighted they have found their perfect home and are sure they will have lots of fun with their new owners.
We are currently searching for a suitable home for a pair of cats that are both very unique and totally different from each other, Katty and Polly, who are featured on our SOS page. They have been at the shelter since November last year and are in desperate need of a new home. Polly is the perfect lap cat at 12 years old she doesn’t want to do much else than sit on an available lap and be pampered. Katty is the playful youngster at 2 years old and is full of energy, wanting to run and play all the time. However different they may seem to us, they are inseparable, as you would soon understand if you saw them curled up together or saw Katty affectionately washing Polly.
