Recently they were looking for a revamp on their webpages – and it’s […]

Animal Rescue Truths

This poem, by Ashley Owen Hill, blew me away. I’m not sure folk who’re not active in animal welfare realise how emotionally draining, frustrating and heartbreaking it can be. But it is also totally and utterly rewarding. Worth it because they are worth it. Rescue is pain. Rescue is joy. Rescue is worth it… because […]

In the cold weather it’s especially important to provide community cats with warm shelters and safe, dry feeding stations.
