Cats Protection Journal - Christmas!

In the run up to Christmas we have received an incredibly generous amount of donations, gifts for the cats and chocolates for the staff. We started an Amazon Wishlist at the beginning of the month and have received an overwhelming amount of toys, Christmas dinners and scratching posts for our cats who will be spending Christmas with us. We will be handing them out to all the cats in our care over the next few days but we have a feeling they will last us well into the new year!




This festive period we have also set up our Christmas tree as a 'memory tree' for any loved pets who sadly won't be with us this Christmas. In place of a £5 donation we have small decorations with dedications written on them hung on our tree in loved pets memories.




Delilahs' kittens have now started being split from Mum for an hour in the morning and evening so they can start eating their own food and give Mum a break! They are all waddling about the pens, playing with each other and starting to play with toys too.




In other great news our FIV positive cat Felix who had his tail amputated due to a severe break, has been adopted! The same day he was available to be homed he was snapped up for adoption by a lovely lady who adores him just as much as he adored her. We are so, so happy for him and can't wait to see how he settles in his new forever home.




Our longest staying cat is Flower who is still waiting to find her forever home this Christmas. She is 5 years old, neutered and fully vaccinated. She would love a home where she can be the only pet with no children, she has a few special requirements surrounding her homing so for more information on Flower please contact us directly on 01656 724396.




And in even better news our longest staying cat Tyson found himself a forever home this past weekend with a lovely new family. Tyson was with us for over 100 days, he was terrified and not coping well in the pen environment at all. For the first 3 months Tyson would lash out in fear but over the last month he slowly came out for treats and even let a couple cat carers give him a smooth on the head. When his new adopters came to visit him he was happily padding in his pen and let them smooth him - he instantly took to them! We wish Tyson all the best of luck and can't wait to see how he gets along in his new home.




Here at Bridgend Adoption Centre we would like to wish all our supporters and volunteers a very Merry Christmas and thankyou for a great year!
