We've had a very busy month here at the centre now that kitten season has arrived! We have had such a huge season that our maternity corridor is now full and we have had to convert one of our other corridors to an extra maternity wing.
Our sponsor Queen Ursie and her 4 kittens are doing really well, here they are now at 6 weeks old playing in their outside area:

There has been a huge demand for kittens, and they are getting adopted very quickly. If you are looking to adopt a kitten, best time to check kitten availability is on Wednesday mornings, you can do this by contacting us on 01656 724396 or emailing bridgend@cats.org.uk
(Please note kittens are only available for viewing from 8 weeks of age, after being vet checked and having their first vaccination. You and family members living with you must view the kitten in person before reserving. Kittens are reserved on a first come, first served basis to suitable homes, so we advise potential adopters to arrive ASAP when kittens are available to avoid disappointment).
You may remember Friday our pregnant female who was found tied up in a black bin-bag on the hottest day of the year. Well she gave birth to a little boy who we called Saturday (after all he was born on a Saturday!) and both mum and kitten are doing amazingly. Friday will eventually have to have an operation to her eyelid to stop her lashes rubbing against her eye, so we will keep you updated on how that goes.
We've had some great updates on cats who have been homed by us recently. Here is our one-eyed wonder Willow who was with us for a long time due to flu symptoms and having surgery to remove her eye, her new owners say she is settling in incredibly well, loves the garden and loves to play.
One of our other favourite updates was from our golden oldie Tinker who was left outside the centre in a box. Tinker too had to have his eye removed and made a great recovery. Here he is enjoying his new life with the Davies family:
This week we've had the handsome Cruz bought into our centre, Cruz was a stray who was getting into all sorts of fights with local cats and ended up with a nasty head wound. Cruz's fighting with other cats is mostly down to him not being neutered. Lucky for Cruz we were able to take him in and give him treatment, all our unneutered cats are blood tested for FIV and FeLV as they are in the highest category risk and again lucky ol' Cruz tested negative for both!
We are currently part of a huge neutering campaign across the Wales, we are helping people neuter and chip their cats for only £5 - to see if you are eligible then please click here.
That's all for now, stay tuned for more updates soon :)
