CAT SANCTUARY
CAT SANCTUARY
Dolly arrived when only one or two days old, in the Spring of 1998. She is lucky to be alive. Her feral mum had her litter of five kittens under the bonnet of a council van, on top of the engine, over a weekend when
no-one was working. When Monday arrived they were driven round all day before they were eventually discovered, by this time only Dolly and a sister were still alive. They had sustained numerous burns from the heat of the engine but they survived and were bottle reared.
Dolly’s growth was stunted and she didn’t look normal, so it was decided she stay here. Her normal sized sister found a new home. Despite her poor start Dolly finally grew into an average sized cat.

Squeaky was bought along with his three siblings by a distraught cat lover, who couldn’t bear watching them being man handled by children at a horse sale.They were brought here when about eight weeks old in late Spring 1998.
His brother and sisters were found homes but squeaky being less outgoing was overlooked so remained here.

Twizzle arrived with injuries associated with a road traffic accident, in March 1998. She was about ten weeks old and her injuries had left her blind. The vet wanted to put her to sleep but I insisted she was given a chance. Her eyesight gradually returned over a few weeks and she grew into a happy normal cat.

Joey, Charlie, Peter and Bronte were born underneath the loading ramp of the town library. Their semi wild mum was separated from them over the weekend and had disappeared. I collected them on the 12th July 1999, when they were no more than two or three days old. Although their mum was finally caught a few days later, she would not return to her babies, so along with three others of the same age I had the pleasure of hand rearing seven kittens. Their mum was found a home with a lady experienced with feral cats. She wasn’t a true feral and within a few weeks she regained her trust in people and became a happy, friendly, member of the family. This family of four stayed here due to the sheer number of cats and kittens needing homes that year, which is not an uncommon occurrence.

Here are some more recent pictures of Bronte, Pete, Joey and Charlie, these photo’s were taken during 2005.
As can be seen, Pete has become a rather large blob when compared to his earlier picture from March 2000, his siblings however have refrained from stuffing themselves, and are not quite so overweight.
