Finally - WE'RE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN :-)

Hello dear Animal Protection Society bloggers!


My name is Clare Della-Franca and I am the new President (I will answer to Prez) at the APS, I am taking over the reigns from a very competent ex Prez, Sue Reardon, who thankfully will be staying on the APS committee with us! I am also taking on the reigns of the APS blog, from Clare Mills who did a fantastic job of starting the blog off, there is so much work for us to do down at the APS and I will endeavour to provide at the very least weekly updates for all who are interested! There will be more this week as things get kicked off and I get some more time to upload!!


As a lead off today, I am turning attention to one of our residents at the APS who really does need his forever home and soon.........



Please meet "Pango" - Pango arrived at the APS in Oct 06, as a wee kitten. He has grown up at the APS, why he was overlooked by last year's kitten purchasers I just don't know...... maybe because we have so many, sigh!?!


Pango was recently involved in a fight in the main cattery, which led to a bite within his ear drum which created an abscess. He is currently being treated for an infection in the inner ear and recovering rather well. Because of the infection though he has a rather interesting tilt of the head, this may stay with him for the rest of his life. It actually is very cute and it looks like he's always questioning what you say :-) Pango is a very healthy and robust cat who is an absolute love bug. Within 20 seconds of tickles and cuddles, he is purring like a steam engine. He also has the most amazing lime green eyes, the pictures don't do him justice. We really are loathe to release Pango back into the main cattery, as we all feel because of his "differences" it will single him out for attack again, and poor puss just doesn't have the instinct or desire to fight, little stripy darling.

If you need a puss to keep you company on an evening, maybe to warm up your doona and to say thanks for their tea, instead of complaining about the vegetables, please give some time to thinking about Pango, he is one of the most deserving pusses and the volunteers would be overjoyed to see him meet his new owner.

Well folks, it's Sunday evening, my dinner is on the go and a glass of red is waiting for me!

Thanks for reading about our dear Pango, I will be back on later as I do need to let you all know about our little Madame Genevieve.
