Mel and Jo have a cat chat with Heather

We went to IOW Radio today for a cat chat with afternoon show host Heather McCallum. We took along lovely kitty Katie. For those of you that missed the show, here's a run through of what happened.

Katie is 10 years old, a real cutie with stunning green eyes. She is still looking for a home, she was brought into the centre because her owner was having a baby. 

Thank you to everyone who came along to our quiz night at the High Park Tavern we raised over £200. Because of this huge success we are now having another quiz at St George's Social Club in Newport, Saturday 26th May. £2 per head, the quiz starts at 7:30pm. 


On May 5th we are having a Spring Fair at the Adoption Centre, 12 - 4pm. Fun for all the family - bouncy castle, face painting, raffle, bbq, refreshments, live music by David Ouston and David Randini the Magician will be there from 2pm. 

We are becoming increasingly concerned by the amount of calls we are receiving from people who have taken on kittens as young as 4 weeks old. Kittens start to eat solid food from 4-5 weeks of age and do not become fully weaned until they are 8-9 weeks old. We have had countless calls to say that these young kittens are not eating and not growing properly. A kitten from Cats Protection will not leave its mother until its 9 weeks old. This way they have been fully weaned and gone through a socialisation program. 


We believe that educating people about this matter is very important. Just remember 8 weeks is the youngest a kitten can leave its mother, we recommend 9 weeks. Our kittens are micro-chipped, health checked and vaccinated too. 

Staff members Emily and Stacey have been working hard on videos of the cats. Our latest video is a real tug on the heartstrings. We have all cried watching it and we know the cats are well looked after.  



We will be on the show again soon so please listen out for us. Don't forget to follow us on facebook, twitter and google+.
