The charity’s base in Hady has been inundated with arrivals. Gary Taylor, animal care manager, said: “At the moment, we have an unusually high number of cats ready to find their forever homes, young and adult cats alike. We'd really love to see the cats that are ready now settling into homes, as this creates vital space for the cats and kittens still coming into our care during what's already proving to be another busy kitten season.
"Over the past couple of weeks, we've noticed a real drop in visitors and adoption applications, which we suspect is partly due to the hot weather. “If you've been thinking about adopting, now is a fantastic time to visit. Our team would love to help you find the right match."
Cats make great pets. They’re affectionate and loving and can cheer you up on a bad day. Fiercely independent, they don’t need walking and come and go as they please. All they ask for is a comfortable home and a caring owner who will look after their wellbeing.
