News Update

Just to let you know we found a lovely home for Ronnie and Lenny, the two German Shepherds we urgently needed to place. We also found Clio the Glagos that went missing unharmed. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us with these two matters.

Smudge Update

Our heart felt thanks go to everyone who donated towards the cost of Smudge's operation. We never cease to be amazed at people’s generosity, one donation in particular stood out.

Amber McLean is an 8 year old girl that had read about Smudge's plight in our newsletter at her school. Being a cat owner herself she was very upset to read about Smudge so at Christmas she went carol singing and raised £25 towards his operation. She sent her donation in to us with a lovely letter and a beautifully drawn picture (shown below), which now has pride of place on our office wall.

Smudge has now had his operation. Clem Pichler at Vets 4 Pets did an extremely good job on what proved to be a difficult operation. Smudge has recovered very well and now has full use of his leg. It’s truly wonderful to see him playing and running around as a cat of his age should. In fact he has just gone off to his new home with another of our cats that he had made friends with. We’re sure he’s keeping his new owners on their toes getting into all sorts of mischief!

On behalf of Smudge, thank you so much to everyone to helped make his new life a happy and playful one.

We would like to express our heart-felt thanks to the Gregg School for the use of their premises and their help with the fashion show event held in Nov 09. We would also like to thank Ready, Steady Store in Leigh Road, Eastleigh for donating storage free of charge prior to the show.
