New arrivals

Tia and her family

Tia our expectant mum gave birth to three adorable kittens last night. Mum and babies are all doing very well and Tia is feeling relieved and very proud. Her kittens are all different colours, she has a grey tabby, a black and a dark tortie.

The kittens will stay with mum until they are nine weeks old. During this time they will grow rapidly, be weaned onto kitten food and become independent from mum. The kittens will also start to be socialised after they reach two weeks old. 

We will continue to keep you all updated on how Tia and her family are doing. It is so unusual to have our first litter of kittens of the year in January! Kitten season has been ongoing this year, this really highlights the growing unwanted cat population on the island. We are urging people to get their cats neutered to help with the problem. We provide an assisted neutering scheme for people on a low income or benefits. We are doing all we can to help, we know that money is tight for many people at present. 

For more information about the benefits of neutering your cat please visit our website. For more information about our assisted neutering scheme please contact us here at the centre on 01983 562609, thank you.
