Allie and Karrot just two of the cats requiring rehoming (Dec 2009)
A day as a Kays Hill Sanctuary cat....Kays Hill Animal Sanctuary is at Stone House Chapel, Bildershaw, West Auckland, Co. Durham DL14 9PL, UNITED KINGDOM. We are open to the public 7 days a week, 1 - 4 pm and no appointment is necessary.
8am in the morning doors open
a whole new day begins
30 cats are crying were is our breakfast
at the sound of food tins
as they start to feed and water
our dishes going around
noise is getting louder
as a rhythm we have found
we all sit meowing by the gate
so impatiently we just can not wait
yet once our bellies are full
peace and quiet, contentment all found
a gentle purring is the only sound
its now down to staff
and all the daily grind
all those dirty smelly jobs
that they can always find
till our litter trays, toys
and dishes are gleaming
us cats still purring
those that are not dreaming
afternoon new visitors pending
us cats eagerly waiting
mystical thoughts we are sending
if only a person to give one of us a home
no more would we sit in our pen on our own
all we ask for is food and freedom to roam
we would sit on your lap purring contently I'm home
5pm evening draws in, cold and darkness all around
we snuggle up in our beds
to the warmth we have found
we pray that tomorrow
will be much better than today
somebody will call and take us away
to a warm cosy place
that we can call home
as part of a family
we would never be alone
Please visit us cats at Kays Hill Animal Sanctuary....
