And a reminder not to forget to hang up your stockings on 24th Dec. I measured up the boxed new Canon R3 and will have to substitute a pillow case in anticipation! Finally, can I, on behalf of all our members, wish everyone who reads this magazine season’s greetings - everything in moderation!

Special Appeals

Joey: At the centre we always have feral and nervous cats suitable for homing to rural locations where they have the freedom to live on their own and to come and go as they please. These homes include farms, stables and small holdings. Joey is a special cat requiring a very special home. We suspect he has been kept as an outdoor cat for a number of years and has lived off local residents feeding him. He is used to the freedom of living outdoors without being fussed over. Due to the circumstances he found himself in on arrival at the animal centre, he was very timid. Joey has since made some progress with the people he sees on a regular basis whilst in our care and has gained a little confidence though much prefers his own space. Joey is a big foodie so this is a great way to build a relationship and is the way to his heart! We can stroke him when he is eating however his new owners should be aware that he will hiss and swipe if over handled. He is looking to be re-homed as an outdoor cat again with owners that have a suitable secure area to keep him contained for the first few weeks before he is allowed out. He’s been blood tested, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has had an initial flea and worm treatment. A rural location will be perfect for Joey so please do get in touch if you can offer him a home.

Tyson: This gorgeous dog has found himself at the centre after there were concerns over his welfare. He is looking for a very special home with someone who has extensive

Dogue de Bordeaux experience. He hasn’t had the greatest start in life and is looking for a calm, quiet forever home. Having been passed around many homes, Tyson finds it very hard to trust people. so we are looking for an adult only home with no visiting children. We are looking to rehome Tyson in the local area, as his new family would need to come to visit him regularly so that he can form a bond with them. Due to Tyson’s fearful nature a behaviourist has been consulted, as he will need a little help to overcome his fear when it is time to meet his new family. He is currently following a plan that has been set out to help him cope in difficult situations. His new family will need to follow this plan in order to be successful with him. He doesn’t have a lot of experience of crowded areas and busy streets, so a location that is quiet would be ideal. He loves exploring and having a good sniff when he’s out walking, so would like an active home. Tyson loves the company of other dogs, so it is possible for him to live with a calm, neutered female. He loves toys and will engage in a game of fetch once he knows you. He can be stubborn and headstrong, as well as playful and affectionate with the people he knows.
