Hurrah - spring has officially flitted onto our profile! And it's brought us some lovely moss to boot! Thanks to @aintright.bsky.social for this gorgeous capture of a little Wren collecting nesting material. 😍 And a big thank you to everyone who responded to our cover photo call out.

Hello, I'm Gabby, fosterer & re-homer of cats. After a friend passed in Dec, we took in their precious babies. Typically, we don't struggle to find homes but this time we've hit a wall. These cats are AMAZING & we will deliver to anywhere in the UK for a perfect home where they're loved forever.
