Huge thanks go to Luke and Jo who arrived at the Refuge today laden with gifts and a money donation....from themselves and their wedding guests. Luke and Jo asked for guests to provide these items instead of giving them wedding gifts - what a wonderful and thoughtful gesture on behalf of Luke and Jo - and their guests - many thanks to them all.
What a wet and windy day it was today. The poor cats had to keep flying inside as the rain just kept coming and coming, and the dogs only had a short while outside but they were all walked today.
Another dog came into the Refuge today, and a cat. So many little souls out there needing new homes.
We are urgently requiring a new Cat Carer now, Judi has left us and we need someone to fill in for Mondays or share the day with someone else. We are also needing a new volunteer Cat Carer for Tuesdays and also someone who would be a Cat Carer able to fill in if someone needs time out......anyone out there - do you have some spare time you would, or could, offer to the cats at the APS. Volunteer Cat Carers are in charge on their day, of the cats. They answer the phone, see to guests and rehome cats. They would also help with the cleaning if there are not sufficient volunteers to complete the work. It is a fun time but it can also be hard work but you get to spend time with the cats and meet some interesting people. We provide all the tea and coffee you can drink too !! Call in and have a look around, bring a friend with you, see if the Refuge is somewhere you could spend a few hours helping out and helping to give the cats a better life - and find them a family they can call "theirs". Training will be provided so dont think we just invite you in and then leave you to it...we dont.
APS is getting ready for Sunday - our Annual Fete. Come along and enjoy your day there, stalls of all sorts plus you could have your dog washed and groomed, see the ferrets, see Old McDonalds Farm animals and.....see all the dogs and cats waiting patiently for a family and a new home. You could also enjoy a sausage sizzle or purchase a cup of tea or coffee. You might also see something to purchase for that special lady in your life for Mother's Day.
