Morris,Trevor and Fred



Had a very busy day today, thanks to an article in the Bangor Chronicle we had lots of visitors and homed 6 cats.That is always a morale booster and puts us all in a good mood. Over the past few days we have taken in some VERY neglected cats, I see a lot more of these than I did in Liverpool.I think it is maybe becasue there are so many rural and isolated properties, there is nowhere for a stray cat to scavenge so they deteriorate quite rapidly. Pictured are 3 of the worst cases. Morris,Trevor, and Fred. They were starving, Morris is covered in some type of oil which we have tried to wash off today with little success. Fred pictured in the basket is in a terrible condition which is difficult to see as he is hunched down in his bed, his teeth are in an appalling state, Trevor also needs his teeth sorting out though he is far too frail at the moment. so he needs to have a dental once he is strong enough. All will be going to the vet on Monday for a thorough check up.They all look quite elderly and could have underlying problems but we cannot be sure until Monday, in the meantime they seem grateful for a warm bed and plentiful food.(a true sign of a genuine stray, they are so glad to be cared for)
Apologies for lack of humour in todays posting,Sometimes it deserts me, I promise it will return soon!
