At 22 degrees by 8am it was zero walks for our furry VIPs today.

Walks got replaced with paddling pool times instead. With frozen carrots, cucumbers, lickilix and icepops served throughout the day.

Very sticky and pooped team 4
Cool waterbabes 31
Cool kitties 9

Very proud of the team today. We knew the afternoon walk would be ditched due to the heat and replaced with the paddling pools, but we have some dogs who will only toilet on their walk.

So while cool enough this morning and the lane was fully shaded, all 35 dogs a very short and slow walk before 9am before chilling for the rest of the morning in lovely cool kennels.

Looking like walks are off the table completely tomorrow with a forecast of 22 by 8am.

Lots of brushing and combing, cuddles and splash time instead.

We were a disheveled bunch by 9am, as Charlie said, good job you can't smell photos! Speak for yourself 🤣

Wow 8 years today since I moved to Noah's Ark!

So much has changed in those years, so many battles overcome, Covid lockdown, Utility Crisis, Petrol Crisis, now the Cost of Living Crisis, the omg does that wall really need painting again, you cannot be serious crisis.

But one thing stays the same, the passion. Whilst that's there, you can overcome the hurdles. A little less exhaustion would be nice but you can't have everything 🤣

Celebrations on hold as one of my cats is very poorly. Bailey has been a trooper these last three and a half years. We'll see what our vet says tomorrow.

Prepared and yet absolutely not prepared for potentially making a heartbreaking decision, and definitely hoping I'm wrong and he has more Time.

5 of these were from our own team, 4 participants and a volunteer. They're a dedicated bunch, no denying it!!! Well done team!

A huge, huge, huge well done to all our participants in I'm a KittyCat get me outta here!

20 hours in sheltered but open and unheated kennels. A very damp 20 hours!

You did it, and you did it in style. So proud of how you threw yourselves into the activities, Hook a Duck, The Slot Machines, Cat Walk, Cateoke, Cat Drive, Cat Bingo, Puss in Boots Sword Fight ( your enthusiasm in this particular event was something to behold 🤣🤣) Mastermind and 80's party dancing and Videos to highlight cats trying to survive on the streets with horrendous disease and no veterinary care.

Also a massive thank you to the Rescue volunteers who came to help, Lyn, Lynn, Tommy and Ang, and Sheila from our Noah's Ark Pet Holiday Home

A big thank you to LynAndy Zuppinger for donating the carpet tiles to have as a base on the kennel floor inside, Andy for donating the tea urn, Emily's Mum for donating the tea, coffee, milk and sugar and loaning the thermos.

Huge thank you to Emily for our wonderful logo and Yazzoo Personalised Clothing for the fab hoodies.

And last but not least all the supporters of the rescue who donated and the family, friends and colleagues of our participants.

So far we've raised over £4,100.

Thank you so much. The money will be used to get 16 cats off the streets, neuter, vaccinate, microchip, and treat for fleas and worms, whilst keeping them safe.

So tired but so happy and grateful!
