Pet of the week - double the fun
CARE Rescue Cattery is running an Adoptathon this coming weekend where you can meet 16 of our beautiful, affectionate kittens just like Smokey.

Buy one kitten, get another half price
CARE Rescue Cattery is running an adoptathon this weekend with lots of gorgeous kittens, of all colours waiting to be adopted, as well as young adults to choose from.
