Flea Market Update

22nd September Flea Market

Many thanks to everyone who braved the awful weather on Sunday 22nd September to visit or help at our Flea Market. We made a much needed £1,000 which after a summer where we had three litters of poorly kittens will go towards our latest vet bill.

A big thank you to Pauline for the surprise gift, I love it!
Many thanks to everyone who donated items for our stalls. We had some nice prizes for the Tombola which did well, special thanks to Jane for her donations of imaginative and beautifully presented Tombola prizes.

The kitchen did very well and again Dawn baked her wonderful cakes and with additional contributions from our regular bakers. Thanks to everyone who helped in the kitchen, unlike the rest of us that can take the weight off our feet now and again the kitchen crew are busy and on their feet all day from 7.am until 2.30 pm. They then have to clean up to leave the kitchen tidy, it’s a long day and we appreciate their help.

Thanks also to our many helpers on the stalls and in the foyer who haven’t had a specific mention, we couldn’t do it without you. A big “thank you!” to you all.

We are always looking for volunteers to help on the day, can you spare a couple of hours? We have a very friendly group of volunteers but could always use a few more helping hands.

Could you bake some cakes for us?

Give us a call on 01772 750263 (preferably after 6pm any evening) if you would like to help in any way.

Needless to say we have now run out of good quality prizes for the Tombola and will need to collect many more prizes for our next Flea Market (Sunday 20th October).

So please keep the donations coming.

If you have any items to donate, please Tel Christine on 01772 750263 or Sylvia on 01772 716837.

Thank You!    🙂

Summer

We were asked to help find Summer a forever home when a member of the public became concerned for her welfare, she was seen to be roughly handled by some very young children, her then carer was persuaded to sign her over to LCR.

Summer is a confident young cat of about six months old, she has been neutered, chipped and has had her first vac.

She is looking forward to having a loving forever home.

As she has been neutered we will be expecting a donation of at least £50, also her new owner will have to agree to keep her in at night & provide a litter tray.

🙂

Summer now has a home with Samantha and family in Ribbleton, Preston (21/09/2019).

Jingle

 

Just before Christmas 2016 we took in Jingle and Frosty, a black long haired adult male and a black and white young adult female brought to us by the RSPCA.

These cats were  very nervous at first and we knew that it would need a lot of work and time  before they would be ready for re-homing.

Frosty was the first to begin to trust us and she now has a home.

Jingle is still quite nervous and needs a quiet understanding forever home.

He has been neutered, vaccinated and chipped and we think he is about five years of age.

If you would like to offer Jingle a home and are local to Preston Lancashire please call us on 01772 750263, as he is an adult and has been neutered we will expect a donation of a minimum £50, also his carer will have to agree to keep him in at night & provide a litter tray.

Frosty

Just before Christmas 2016 we took in Jingle and Frosty, a black long haired adult male and a black and white young adult female brought to us by the RSPCA.

These cats were  very nervous at first and we knew that it would need a lot of work and time  before they would be ready for re-homing.

Frosty was the first to begin to trust us, but we despaired of Jingle but then in May he too decided that not all humans are bad (although he is still the more nervous of the two).

They have both been neutered, vaccinated and chipped and are ready for a quiet forever home, they don’t have to go together although if someone did offer to take them both we would be delighted.

🙂

Frosty now has a home with Brian in Preston.

 

 

Mabel & Myrtle

Mabel & Myrtle came to us with their kittens when their carer became unwell and asked us for help.

Mabel’s three kittens have all been homed.

Of Myrtle’s kittens three have been homed and the fourth will be homed soon.

Mabel (the all black cat) is quite friendly & Myrtle (black & white) is a little less confident and will require a quiet understanding forever home.

We are happy for them to go to separate homes.

They are both about 18 Months old, neutered, chipped and are fully vaccinated.

As they have been neutered we will be expecting a donation of at least £50, also their new owners will have to agree to keep them in at night & provide a litter tray.

If you live local to Preston Lancashire and would like to offer Summer a loving home please call us on 01772 750263, best time to call is a weekday evening between 6-7pm.
