Adoption centre fundraiser

Exeter Axhayes adoption centre is a local cat re-homing centre run by Cats Protection the UK's leading cat welfare charity.

The centre is holding a quiz night at Exeter Saracens RFC on 3rd July 2015 to help raise funds for the centre. The centre looks after local homeless cats until they are found a new home. Their policy is never to put a healthy cat asleep therefore sometimes a cat can be looked after for quite some time.

An example of the type of work they do is highlighted by Panjo. She came to them originally as a stray, and was in a bad state - she has a terrible...

The Benefits of Older Cats

RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter in Exeter is currently struggling under the weight of many abandoned old cats all looking for new homes, but being sadly overlooked for younger models. Older cats are having to spend far longer in rescue centres, causing their stress levels to rise whilst waiting for new furever homes.

The problem in rescues could certainly be helped by local landlords relaxing their anti-cat stance when it comes to rented property. Certainly, in Little Valley's view, a cat is not a destructive creature and yet landlords are reluctant to let tenants have cats...

Keats urgently needs your help

Please please can someone help Keats? We have 3 weeks to decide on his future.

Keats was originally brought to us last October. He has lived outside all his life and was being fed by an elderly lady. As he as aged and his eyesight decreased, he has increasingly pushed to come inside and enjoy some home comforts. Unfortunately the lady could not allow this, so Keats has found himself here. Due to his age he has limited eye sight, but otherwise he is in good health.

Keats is extremely nervous, so we managed to get him in a foster home until last week. This has helped him...
