RCR STAR!

Admin apologies for the week of silence, but we are back with a gorgeous new Star :)

This lovely boy is Sultan, a 3 year old brown ticked tabby. He is a friendly lad and he is waiting for a loving forever home after a harsh time struggling to survive on the streets. He would like to be the only cat, so that he doesn't have to share his humans.

If you would like to offer his beautiful boy the home and the love he needs, please call Ruth on 01580 241632, email us at [email protected] or send us message.

Please don't ever engage with them, and if you spot them before we do, please let us know on Facebook messenger so we can block them. Please don't involve Ruth directly, as she has too much to do at the centre caring for cats and kittens.

Thank you 🐈🫶
