    We've hit the national news today over Lilly the Bengal and Mrs Baker.

    We'd like to thank those of you have been kind enough to email supporting our stance on homing our cats safely and we are sorry to those of you who disagree. We know it is impossible to please all of the people all of the time so we'll just stick to doing our best for cats as usual....

    Our newly spruced up pen is looking beautiful thanks to the team at Jewsons in Diss who provided materials and Paul and Chris for their hard work painting and putting up shelves to give the cats more space to rest and play.

    The first three cats to arrive in the new pen were a pair of Smudge's and Mimi, pictured above, closely followed by Dylan and Storm.

    When we found a taped up box with air holes outside our gates we dreaded what we were about to find.

    The inhabitants didn't make a single noise while we cut the tape away and we opened the dark box to find two pairs of shining eyes staring back.

    How long they had been sitting there we don't know but the handsome pair of boys seem quite happy.

    We recieved a call this morning from a supporter in Thetford who's friend didn't know what to do about a cat stuck in a tree behind her house. They had contacted the RSPCA the previous day and spoken to the emergency services for advice but still the ginger cat was stuck and crying pitifully for help. When we arrived at the scene a desperate meow from 30ft above greeted us and we could see that specialist climbing equipment would be needed.

    We woke to five perfect new arrivals this morning! Though one baby required some supportive care for the first few hours all five are now feeding well, as is young mummy Smudge. Smudge is still is absolutely exhausted but so happy and proud of her new family.

    We recieved a call late on Thursday from a caller reporting her cat missing. He fitted Alex's desription perfectly and was missing from very close by although she was certain he was really a she!

    The next morning she arrived with her other cat, Alex's brother not sister, and the two went straight in for neutering at our vets and to be microchipped. They were taken home later the same day after their full check up.

    The boys were very glad to be reunited only poor Alex was less than pleased to get his name back - DAISY!
