Another sad loss

I really am so sorry to be the bearer of more sad news. Early hours of this morning (Monday 27th July) one of our more recent residents passed away. Robyn, a cream and brown "older" girl amongst the residents had not been herself for the past week. Our vet recommended we tried her back on the medication that she had been taking in the past. Robyn, as a lot of us will remember was not the cleanest of cats by any means and this meant that her time being rehomed was only short lived. Robyn had had many tests and samples taken to determine what was actually up and tried all sorts of special diets to keeping her in a cage for a short while to monitor her "movements" against certain diets. Unfortunately Robyn wanted out and the medication didn't seem to make her bowels improve much. We decided that time outside might be more of a remedy for her...how wrong could we be. Robyn always made sure of that....it was very honourable of some that some of the early risers to the rescue, namely Rose and Pat that cleaned most of her , shall we say "deposits" up...but we loved Robyn all the same... we just accepted that Robyn was going to be a bit on the messy side. After all, that is what rescue work is all about... you take the good with the bad.



Robyn passed away in her sleep and she has been buried in her favourite snoozing spot in the garden. R.I.P. Robyn...you shall be remembered for a very long time. xxxx Faye and all your friends at Oldham Cats

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

Just a note to thank everyone who made it to our Summer Fayre...using the term loosely!!! The weather was awful but our fairweathered volunteers and supporters made it on the day. We a staggering £2205.00....a total shock to us all.... but all the same very much appreciated. Part of this amount was taken from my sponsored 7 weeks of not washing my hair. This raised £282.00. Asked would I do it again....No!...It was the best feeling washing my hair that evening although I must say it seems in better condition! Thank you everyone who sponsored me....just have to think of something for next year.....Any ideas are very welcome!
T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.... especially to all volunteers who again gave up their spare time beforehand and on the day.... teamwork once again!
Bye for now

ADOPTION INCREASE

Due to increases in veterinary fees we have now had to increase to the adoption fees for ALL cats and kittens. The new adoption fee is £45.00 EACH cat or kitten. This fee covers the cost of neutering, "at least" their 1st vaccination, flea and worm treatment prior to the cat/kitten being rehomed. We aim to keep the cost to a minimum. This increase is effective immediately.
Thank you for your understanding.
