01 February 2009Winter so far has been a difficult one for this part of south west England. We have experienced extremes of weather unusual for what is considered a mild if wet part of the country. It started with torrential rain which caused extensive flooding and then came three weeks of intense frost, during which the night time temperature fell to a record ten degrees below freezing. Gales and rain are with us again and the forecast cannot promise any respite. At Kats&Kits life must go on as usual, animals must be fed and cared for, and the helpers struggle in whatever the weather. Freezing fog, icy roads, floods do not deter them, Lorraine and the cats are very grateful. Heating bills are always huge in the winter but this year will be doubly so. There have been few things to lift the spirits during this never ending winter weather but at the end of the intensely cold but sunny days we have had the most spectacular sunsets.

About Kats & Kits:Kats & Kits is a long established cat sanctuary based in the depth of the UK's mystical Wiltshire countryside, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, near the white horses of Alton Barnes and Westbury. Run by a small dedicated team we aim to provide a home to rescued cats where re-homing is not a viable option. This blog documents the daily challenges the group has overcome since 1994 to provide care and shelter for abandonded, stray and unwanted cats.
