Baby, haven't you grown!

Haven’t Bella’s babies grown? Unfortunately I don’t have a decent pic of the black kitten (it’s pretty dark in the corner of the isolation unit) but I can show you the other three. They all have names, now, too, so meet Betty and Billy-Bob, and their brother Martin. The little black kitten is called Alan!

Beautiful Clary

Beautiful Clary (Clarissa) is all the way from Crete. She's gorgeous and she knows it - just look at those eyes! (Bit heavy on the eyeliner, perhaps)

Yes, even more kittens!

There are two new kittens at Woodland Nook. Yes, even more kittens! These two arrived separately, and are extremely tiny and very, very cute. So allow me to introduce you to Doris and Noris!

Doris has a wash

Being this cute is exhausting - Doris has a nap

How could anyone say no to those eyes?

MORE kittens!

It’s turning into kitten paradise at Woodland Nook, with the arrival of a further FOUR new babies. More on their story later; meanwhile, meet Eddie, Sarah, Monty and Bob!

Domino's delivery

Look who has arrived at Woodland Nook! This is Domino, who was found, lost and alone, in a hedge near Hardwick Hall. He’s only 8-10 weeks old so really shouldn’t have been out and about on his own so, as there were no houses nearby to check, he was brought back to the safety of our shelter. 

Look at his gorgeous little white shirt! He has white gloves and socks, too.

What ARE you up to, Boris?

Seriously, Boris... what ARE you up to? Where are you hiding now?

Ah yes, in the litter bin .... that’s a bin for cat litter, not to be confused with a litter bin! Our volunteers turned their backs for two minutes and found Boris hiding in there. Fortunately that’s all he was doing.

After a shaky start, Boris has really settled down and turned into a lovely, friendly cat. He still isn’t keen on other cats, but he’s very much a people person. Do you have room in your home for a lucky black cat?

£550 raised at our tea party!

A wonderful time was had by all who attended our annual tea party at Woodland Nook at the weekend. Huge thanks to everyone who came along, helped or donated – without you we couldn’t have raised an amazing £550! This is double the amount raised last year so we are absolutely delighted! Here are some more pictures from the day...

Lisa put in lots of effort to make the table look beautiful

Delicious goodies on display

Everything looked so tempting

 

You couldn't miss these incredible photo cakes...

... and yes, there was even a cake with Jane on it!

There were fantastic prizes to be won on the raffle...

...Solo wasn’t one of them, but he still wouldn’t get off the raffle table!

Popeye, meanwhile, says: “Who needs cake when you can have this much fun with catmint?”
