Ed & Dave, now Nina & Harry

Dear all,

Just a note to say how our new babies are doing. We renamed them as they never understood their names, they are now Nina and Harry, (chosen from Ruben's favourite tv show - 3rd Rock From The Sun)

Nina turned out to be the more confident one and her favourite place (as photo shows) is on the sofa next to my mum where she can get fuss and warmth. Harry's favourite place is either on my bed or the landing where people trip over him. They both dribble loads when they get attention!

Nina's nickname is Noonoos and Harry has several names from different family members, my dad calls him The Tank because he is built like one, I call him the dribbler and my brother named him Catzilla! LOL

They already like going outside through the catflap so the litter wasnt used much. Our dog Suzie gets a bit nosey sometimes and she has been told off by them on a few occasions for trying to play. Dudley hated them at first but now he has been trying to play with Nina and though he still gets intimidated by Harry's size he is 'putting up with him.'

Harry has been strange in his eating habbits - he eats everything! Chips, caramel rocky bars and pringles. We only give him extreme small amounts of these as they are not good for him but he doesnt seem to agree! We have never seen a cat like it! LOL!

Love to all (including moggs, dogs and chickens!)

Joanna and Ruben

Information for potential owners

Thank you for considering adopting your pet from a Rescue Centre.

When you visit the Centre we will show you the cats or kittens we think are suitable for you, your home and your lifestyle based on the information you give us. It is essential to us that we match cats to their owners to the best of our ability as we only want the very best for our moggies!

Taking on a new animal can have its problems, so please listen to our advice, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. The following is important when considering adoption:

The cat /s or kitten/s must be for YOU and NOT for any other person
All potential owners must be 'homechecked' to ensure you and the cat you have chosen are suitable for each other
We have a minimum donation policy for each of our cats. If you cannot afford a donation then you must question your ability to care for your cat properly. The donation we ask for is minimal compared to the cost of good quality food and routine veterinary care so if you cannot afford it we would rather you did not have a pet
Without your donation we cannot continue to help the thousands of animals abused, unloved and unwanted every year. This centre is run almost entirely by volunteers and we rely on the generosity of our supporters. PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN!
You must be able to afford private vet bills and not use other charities such as The PDSA
As the neutering of cats is such a large part of reducing the numbers of unwanted animals please note that we WILL NOT REHOME AN ANIMAL IF YOU HAVE A CAT OVER 6 MONTHS OLD THAT HAS NOT BEEN NEUTERED
All cats/kittens will have had a minimum of their first vaccination and will have been routinely treated for fleas and worms

Costs involved:

We ask for a minimum donation of £35 when you adopt a cat. This rarely covers the costs involved in rescuing a cat so any further donation you can make is greatly appreciated. Our current average cost of care per cat is £163! If you're adopting a pair we ask for a minimum donaion of £40.
All our cats are microchipped before leaving the centre. This is to ensure their future safety and for our peace of mind. If you wish for the microchip to be registered to you (as the new owner) we ask that you pay £10 towards this.
Any kitten under 5 months of age will not have been neutered. To ensure your kitten is neutered by 6 months of age we ask that you pay a 'neutering deposit' which is refunded to YOUR VET (or you in some rare circumstances) after neutering. As the price of neutering varies between vets and for males and females we ask for £20 per kitten. Neutering can be carried out by any vet but please ensure they will accept our vouchers in advance.
Please note that we accept cash and/or cheques only and cannot take credit card payments unless you wish to pay in advance online (by prior arrangement only).
