MEET GYPSY 💚

Gypsy was trapped from an old garage full of rubbish. Same place I trapped Monkey. With the consent of the owners.

This sweet, soft natured, scared to death girl was allowed to have litter after litter. With the last litter, nowhere to be seen ( suspected foxes). Then immediately pregnant again.

Pinned down by Tom Cats. Possibly more than one at a time. With their barrbed pen*ses which is painful to the female This poor girl has had a horrific life to date.

Until now.
Gypsy has been checked by the vet, spayed, and microchipped. She is so very scared. Once she has fully recovered, I will start to reintroduce Gypsy and Monkey. Giving them some comfort together. They cry to each other at present, so I'm hopeful that after all the different smells they have encountered, they will still recognise each other.

As you can see by the picture, she is so nervous. It's hard to get a picture without upsetting her.

It will be soon time before Gypsy is ready for a home. If you would like to donate towards Gypsy's vet bills, please use PayPal friends and family with Ref: Gypsy. We thank you.

Last week, our charity shop had to close for two afternoons. This week we opened late on Monday and have been closed this afternoon. Why? Because we simply don’t have enough volunteers. Our shop is our main source of income, and every hour closed means less money to pay our ever-increasing vet bills and expenses😿

As it’s a large shop, we always need two volunteers on the shop floor for safety and security, so if only two people are available and one of them goes sick, we have to close. Ideally, we need at least three volunteers per shift so someone can be upstairs sorting and preparing clothes and stock, otherwise we have nothing new to put out.

So can you help us? We’re a relaxed and friendly bunch and as an independent charity shop, there are no nasty targets to meet and nobody is forced to do anything they don’t want to do. There are plenty of roles both on the shop floor and behind the scenes, and if dealing with the public is not your bag that’s fine and we’ll find you something upstairs, perhaps in the steam room where we really need some help. We’re also looking for ‘non-working’ volunteers who can sit at the back of the shop whilst reading, knitting, working on their laptop etc but just keeping a general eye out.

Shifts are generally 10.00 to 13.00 and 13.00 to 16.00 and you can do as many or few as you want. All we ask for is consistency so we can plan the rota and tasks, and to let us know in advance if you can’t come in for whatever reason. The kettle is always on and the biscuit tin is always full☕🍪

If you think this might be for you, pop in and see us or drop us a message. You can even do a no obligation trial shift if you’re not sure and full training is provided. Volunteering is so rewarding and a great way to make new friends whilst doing something amazing for the cats. Our charity would simply not exist without them.

‘Join the team and save the cats’😻🙏

READY FOR ADOPTION 💛
NIKO
Our sweet whirl wind Nico all black and silky, at only 10 months old. He is an affectionate boy. But as you would expect from a kitten, he is a time waster, watching him run around so playful and lively.
When he has the devil in him he is partial to stealing food so bear this in mind, it upsets his tummy. He is on a special diet due to irritable bowls, which has improved immensely on his current diet.
If you would like to brighten up your life your family could be a good fit for Niko.
No children under 10 years
Neutered
Litter trained
Vacinated
Microchipped
Looking for a secure garden away from busy roads.

Monkey, our poorly semi feral, is home from his weekend away at the vets. 😀 💜

He has eaten and is settling back in. Monkey will have undisturbed peace.

We desperately need your help.

Today is a sad day, we said goodbye to one of our permanent foster cats, Bobby. He came into foster 5 1/2 years ago and lived his best life with Jennifer Green and husband Shane Green and family.

Bobby had diabetes and was cared for by Shane, administering injections, and when Bobby started to get high blood pressure, and eventually lose his sight, he spent all of his days looking out the window and being with his family.

Bobby did have a a few adventures along the way though!! He even managed to get himself stuck in a hedge!

Rest Easy Bobby x
