Hi all….
Danielle here again, you may remember in my last update I mentioned the tale of 2 mums and their 11 kittens which we had placed in a special nursery area – Blitzen being one of those babies and I remember she had a fan – so I thought I would update you on these beautiful babies.
Eleven in total, 2 beautiful tabby twins, 1 black boy and 8 gorgeous black and whites. We named them after Santa’s reindeer; so take a breath and meet: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donna and Blitzen; after running out of names we decided on Elf, Star and Beth.
They are now 7 weeks old and have just gone through their latest batch of worming – so they certainly weren’t my friends for a while (especially my girl blitzen avoided me) but they soon got over it and were climbing all over me within a day.
Two little kittens have been reserved but the rest are still waiting for their homes. Just look at the faces – makes your heart melt.
I’m sure I will have more nursery updates for you very soon – and hopefully by then a few more of them will be reserved for homes. They all have such little characters they will make best friends to any person.
Lots of love and Happy Christmas to everyone.
Blitzen and Danielle

Danielle if there is no one else up there to look after Queenie for you, our late mother will certainly do so. She was the greatest cat lover ever and I can just picture her there surrounded by our cats we have loved and lost and by all the cats who had no one waiting for them there too.
Take care, I feel so sad for you xx
Thank u all so much for ur kind words regarding my Queenie (my 18 year old cat who I lost on Friday) I adopted her 2 years ago from Ark as a 16 year old with hyperthyroidism – she had been. There over 6 months and awas a grumpy old thing but I couldn’t bear to see her there anymore as she was getting very depressed – she was the first cat that I ever owned and I may. Not have had for a very long ttime but she made her mark and was my girl through and through. I will miss her terribly but she is free from pain and I hope someone up there will look after her till I can join her again xxx
Couldnt agree with u more – we only ever adopt single kittens out if the person already owns a youngish cat and is home a lot otherwise they take a pair or nothing. We get an awful lot of flack from people from doing it that way (u wouldn’t believe the amount) but it’s our policy and we stand by it!
Prancer she is gorgeous she even has a twin called cupid xxx
So sad for you Danielle. R.I.P Queenie x
Ah, I hate to hear that. My condolences. Take care Danielle.
So sorry, Danielle.
It’s so hard.
