Kilo (Ark, Lincolnshire coast)
11/6/12 – We just had this sad update from the Ark: Kilo collapsed and has had to be put to sleep. He didn’t respond to treatment and the vet said there was nothing more he could do and he had no quality of life. Sue and Laura, the manager and assistant manager at the Ark were with him and cuddling him when he died. There was a lady who was interested in adopting him but a home came just too late for the poor old boy :(

Basil & Horus (Fife Cat Shelter)
5/5/12 – Basil has gone to his new home, but Horus is still looking.
If you’re looking for a pair of laid back felines, please consider this lovely couple. They are Basil and Horus and although they would love to find a home together, they could be rehomed separately to the right homes. They are very friendly, but quite undemanding and only want a loving home where they can enjoy the rest of their retirement. -

Pretty Peggy Patterpaws (Oldies Club)
We don’t know much about Peggy’s past, but we do know that she’s a sweet and gentle girl. She needs a home with someone around a lot of the time as she doesn’t like to be left.
