Kats & Kits: August 2009

Many thanks to helpers and customers alike for making last Saturday's sale in The Brittox, Devizes such a success. As it is an outside event we very much rely on good weather and once again it was dry and bright. We had a huge selection of goods and selling started as the first box was being unpacked before nine o'clock and continued non stop until one. Books, china, jewellery, bags and bric-a-brac disapeared quickly, snapped up by our discerning customers who seemed delighted with their purchases.

We were very pleased to see many of our regulars and to hear the latest news of their Kats& Kits cats. It gives us great pleasure to know that some of the first cats we rescued are still hale and hearty even though they are getting elderly, but this applies to some of the helpers too!

We must also thank everyone who donated goods for us to sell, and hope they will start collecting again for the next round of jumble sale starting on Sept.19th at the Scout Hall, Southbroom Rd. Devizes. 10am.

Devizes Kats & Kits started exactly fifteen years ago to-day, We have cared for thousands of cats, loved and cherished each one, and that is how we hope to continue. There have been many happy times and some sad, laughter and tears but always joy seeing the cats every day.

The August draw of the "100 club" has taken place and the winners are;

J Crouch of Rowde

O&C Heffernon of Worton

J Crawford of Conock

Don't miss our bigest sale of the year, bric a brac, books, plants and surprise items that even we don't see until the morning of the sale.

Sat. 22nd August 9am - 1pm

The Brittox, Devizes Wilts.

Tarn came to the sanctuary a few months ago. He had been found injured by a passer bye and taken to the vet. There he had surgery which resulted in him having his tail amputated.
He is a handsome neutered Tabby about two years old with an engaging personality. He loves human company, calling for your attention, taking every opportunity to rub against your legs, sit on your lap or go walking with you, a real companion cat.
After giving him time to recover and to get used to his surroundings Lorraine decided to let him out of his pen and give him the freedom that the other sanctuary cats enjoy. However the strong character that makes him a delightful human companion proved to be too much for many of the other cats to cope with, especially those that are timid or elderly, because of this Tarn now has to spend most of his time in his pen, though this is large with a garden area it is not ideal for a young energetic cat who likes company.
So we are looking for a new home for Tarn. He needs to be the sole cat with experienced cat owners who are around for a good part of the day. Ideally a rural situation would be best or a large garden with no cats near bye.
If you think you could give this lovely cat a good home please ring Lorraine on 01380 828850 and leave a message, she will come back to you.
