When is a stray cat not a stray cat?
Cats are naturally wanderers as far as 10 miles, especially if unneutered. Cats, when they visit other houses, are always ‘starving’ and are never fussy eaters (I once knew a cat that would only eat turkey at home but went and raided the neighbours cat food bowl every day). So what can you do if…
Sometimes all that is needed is a little bit of tlc
Stanley has clearly been living rough for sometime, although he is a little bit fuffy as you can see in the video below if a dreamie is involved he’s happy to have a bit of a stroke. It looks like our Stanley will be looking for a cosy indoor home once he is fully recovered…
And still they keep coming in
There appears to be a never ending stream of kittens being found. This morning two more came in from the Duns area. Very pretty with sharp claws and teeth. We’re sure they’ll come round as soon as they realise we’re a source of food. These two are probably around the 12 weeks mark so still…

Plant Sale preparations
Our plant sale is always very popular and Karen has been planting seeds since before the last one. Her long suffering husband has decided the only way forward is a poly tunnel as they have no more window sills, or space for that matter in their house and garden. So today a massive 25 x…
Vet visit day – It’s going to be a long one!
So today one of the vets from Galedin will be down pulling their hair out. We have 15 cat vaccinations, 8 dog vaccinations and an additional 6 check ups. Of course to help matters nearly all the cats are black or black and white just to complicate matters. They are all microchipped and it will…
“I could never put my animal into rescue……..”
Rescue animals come in for all sorts of reasons, the minority is your stereotypical dumped, abandoned, unwanted. For many bringing animals in to us it is a heart wrenching decision which causes upset past the initial bringing in. Many owners have brought animals in because for one reason or another finance, or lack of…
