Some very special Cats, Gone but not forgotten

Rogue
Rogue was a cheeky old chap of 23 years old he had severe liver problems and enjoyed his short time with until he died quietly in his sleep.

Rosie
Rosie had multiple problems, have been whittled down to Liver problems, when she went in for her operation the Vets were unable to get to the area they needed and could not complete things, she enjoyed life for a further 4 years until she recently died.

Bully Boy
Bully had been sat outside the Black Bull in Leyland, in the freezing cold, a party goer took him home for the evening and brought him to us the following morning, unfortunately his life style had left him with a bad heart and he died in his sleep.

Mrs Winston
Mrs Winston was an old doddery lass who likes her home comforts and want no more that a comfy bed, until there was food around when she can would dance to get your attention and the smallest morsel unfortunately her liver failed her and she dances no more.

These folks are a collection of older cats who are well past their pensionable age and want to enjoy life to the full.

Lulu
Lulu is a 20 year old Tortie lady, who is a pain, her owner has cancer and could not look after her. She is a cute lass who is as friendly as could be if she feels like it, but is not too keen on the other cats.

Barney
Barney remains a happy chap despite his many problems and has turned out to have epilepsy and in need of constant care, he has lost his front left leg in a car accident, the Aliens, are now a little out of his reach.

Boomer
This Happy girl, who is a long haired tabby & white had been abandoned in Blackburn and would not settle with the neighbours cat who was feeding her, she is still a little bully and occasionally grumpy, has now been diagnosed as having been developed Kidney problems.

Guy
This fine fella turned out to be a lot younger in reality than everybody thought, he has a Liver problem, but loves to play with the kittens, which keeps him young at heart, he now has an Inner Ear problem which has meant him having an Operation to have a number of Polyps' cleared out.

Jessie
Jessie is a real youngster @ 17 but her owner was moving and didn’t want to take his cats with him, the previous day he had had his other, older cat put to sleep @ the vets Jessie is a very pretty silver cat with a chinchilla like coat. She keeps her self very much to herself, unless there is food about.

Tut
Tut is an old lad who had been left in a flat for 3 weeks when his owner moved away. The Landlady found him when she was preparing the flat for the new tenants. He is a grumpy chap who has already gained the nickname "King Tut" as he seems to think he is above all others.

Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle is an lady of 17½year old lady who enjoys getting her own way, she puts up with the other cats but keeps pretty much to herself, but does share her affection with humans and likes her food.

Sam
Sam is our new older gentleman who likes to take things easy, and is a gentle giant with a pleasant disposition.

Susie
Susie is an old lass of 16 years who enjoys a quiet life whose owner had died after having her for 16 years.

Pebbles & Jasmine
These two old girls were taken to the vets to be put down apart from being a bit grumpy and frightened they seem to enjoy life.

Poppy, Lucy & Onion
These 3 old girls have recently joined us & will be staying for their retirement years, each one in their own way is a dear old girl and they make sure that lads behave themselves, more about them in th enext Newsletter.

The Younger Ones

These folks are the harder, if not impossible to home, due to their personality or health problems.

Vicky
The little girl from Colne, is now 7 years old, has a lung and liver problem brought about by the state she was in when she was picked up, struggling to breath. and has now developed Throat Cancer.
She is now a happy little soul with many more problems and much in need of lots of TLC.

Noddy
Noddy is a sweet lad who has been homed twice, but because of his problems, he has been returned to us. He suffers from brain damage which causes him to swing his head and run around in circles, he has recently started to have an odd fit now & again.

Bug
Bug is a young girl who suffered a severe blunt force trauma to the face, it resulted in her having half of her lower jaw removed due to the extensive damage. Despite her permanent smile and constant dribbling, she is a happy girl and love to play all day.
