Jessie finds a home and we find a new homechecker.

Little Jessie has gone to a new home and I know she will give loads of pleasure to Cheryl and her family and Cheryl who lives in Anglesey has also agreed to be a horse homechecker for the charity(well actually I somewhat coerced her into it but I THINK she was happy about it?)We need people with experience of horses to do this all over North Wales and Anglesey is a place where we home many of our equines.
A scary moment occurred today when new dog Flossie did a runner! Fortunately I caught up with her before she left the property.We are not really geared up for taking in dogs here which is why Rosie fosters most of them, however she is away this weekend doing her agility shows with her collies so there was nowhere for Flossie to go until she returns. Poor Floss is very scared, she is such a sweet natured dog, very gentle and quiet, she is brightenening up but is still very nervous.From now on she will have to be kept on a lead - even though the yard gate was closed a determined animal can always manage to find an escape route and she was clearly determined.
One kitten has gone, the tortoishell female, hopefully the others will find homes soon, when they grow into the lanky stage nobody seems to want them.A feisty young tabby was admitted, like so many cats, he is affectionate when it suits him and strikes out when it doesnt! He will not be an easy one to rehome.He is called Jordan after the people who found him and not after the well endowed female of celebrity status! When he is neutered it is possible his temperament improve.
Volunteers came up today and helped with the grooming of some of the ponies but overall it was quiet, too quiet, we need to find some cat homes, we are almost full and so many calls are coming through about stray and unwanted cats.Tomorrow I am picking up a mum and 4 kittens which have been born in the grounds of a local hotel.I hope mum is domestic and not feral which will cause a problem. I cannot contain a feral cat for the next few weeks until her babies are old enough to be weaned.They go beserk cooped up in catpens.Our policy is to wait until the babies are weaned and then take them and trap mum to get her spayed and release back to her home territory.Of course not everyone is willing to take the cats back, even once they are spayed and unable to produce more offspring.Our feral cat enclosure is full to capacity and homes for them thin on the ground even in this rural area.
