Some of the beautiful souls homed during 2023

2023 saw Smarty Pants find a new forever home.

Her new owners sent the following message:

I am absolutely in love with her! She is the softest, most affectionate cat I have ever known. The first night she was here I didn’t get much sleep. She snuggled up so close and purred and purred! After that night our son decided he wanted her at night.

Less than two weeks after arriving it is as if she has always been one of our family. She’s my little black shadow,always wanting cuddles and to be stroked. She sits on my son’s lap when he’s in his wheelchair and likes to be wheeled around.

A little soul who came to us during 2020. Thank you for staying with us and we hope that you and those you love stayed safe. So many of you gave animals a new chance. They have always been important to us but even more so when so many of us found ourselves unable to visit friends or family or share a hug. Below the ‘little one’ are Hugo, Smudge and Missy.

We all came in to the Home together as babies.  We all now have new homes and are very happy.  Thank you

Meet Socks and Molly Moo.  They came to us in April because a very kind lady at Broad Oak was concerned and took the time to make the call.  We could not find their mother and so they have been hand fed.  Against the odds they survived and have found a new forever home with a beautiful family in Longton.

This beautiful soul (now named Khaleesi by her new owner) came in pregnant and a month later gave birth to 5 beautiful kittens; three tabbies and two all black.  5kittens3
