🐾🖤 October is Black Cat Awareness Month! 🖤🐾

All month long the month aims to celebrate the beauty, charm and magic of black cats — and to stop silly false myths and raise awareness to help them find the loving forever homes they deserve.

Black cats are often overlooked in rescues, but anyone who’s shared their life with one of these stunning real life mini panther knows the truth: they’re extraordinary! 🖤

✨ Why black cats are truly special:
• They’re affectionate, loyal and deeply people‑focused
• Their sleek coats are absolutely stunning in any light
• They have rich personalities — from goofy to regal
• They’re symbols of good luck in many cultures
• They’re often the most gentle, calm companions
• They photograph beautifully (yes, really!)
• They’re playful, clever and full of character
• They make incredible family members and companions
• They’re just as loving, deserving and wonderful as any other cat

This month, let’s challenge outdated myths and shine a spotlight on these incredible cats. If you’re thinking of adopting, consider opening your heart to a black cat — they’re waiting in rescues everywhere for their chance at a safe, happy life.

🖤 Black cats aren’t unlucky — they’re overlooked.
Let’s change that together.

Ian's Memorial Service
No flowers please.
There will be a collection box for Kats & Kits, a charity close to his heart. We have had several cats from this Sanctuary, which is for elderly cats and those with special needs.
Thank you 😿

Please sign if this is something you agree with & also make your wishes known to your family.

We want the Government to change the law to permit pet ashes in human graves by ending their classification as waste so that families can be buried with their beloved pets.

THANK YOU
A big thank you for all the generous cat food donations we have received recently. All always gratefully received & enjoyed by our dear cats.
If you have a ‘picky’ pet we are always happy to receive your unwanted cat food.
Thank you

I have an elderly cat with kidney disease. She'll eat the specialist dry biscuits, but wouldn't touch the wet food. I remember Lorraine uses a blender and a little water. So I put half a sachet of renal food, half a sachet of Felix, added warm water and blended into into a thick soup. She ate the lot in one go. She's done that for 4 meals now, so fingers crossed. I'll gradually add more renal food and less Felix. She's a delightful girl, coming up to 18 and so affectionate. I'll take her to the vet next week for bloods, to see how she's getting on.

I read that if you wet a toothbrush and gently brush your cat with it, especially around their face, it resembles their mother licking them. Well I tried it with our Minnue, 17½ years old. She absolutely loved it. This is a cat that doesn't like being groomed. I gently brushed around her face, neck, ears and chin for about 15 minutes. All I have to do now is remove the hair before I brush my teeth 😄
