We are very grateful to All Saints Church, Viney
Hill for choosing us as one of two charities the support each
year. They raised a magnificent £900 which was equally
divided between us and Yorkley Recreation Centre. The Rev
Philippa Brunt presented the cheque to Sara Ford (joint Coordinator)
and Averil Sumners (Publicity Officer) at a magical candlelit
carol service in the church on the evening of 16th December.
The congregation at All Saints includes several
of our most active supporters and we thank them for proposing
us as one of 2009's charities. We also extend our heartfelt
thanks to the whole congregation for their hard work throughout
the year to raise this wonderful sum.

Would you like to join our team of Home Visitors? We urgently
need extra help in this area and will be happy to provide
experience with our regular team and support until you feel
confident enough to go it alone!
You get to meet some really nice people - well, if they want
to adopt a cat, they must be nice! - and get to see some interesting
parts of the Forest you never knew existed. While your time
must be given voluntarily, expenses (such as fuel) will be
reimbursed.
Phone the Helpline for more information on 01594 841511.

We have at long last received some calls from
people wanting to offer a home to some of our cats and kittens.
Florrie will be leaving us after a very long stay, Scottie
is booked and Niyah very nearly went to a lovely home in the
country but her new owners are thinking long and hard about
it. As of course they should but we are holding our breaths
that they will take her or another cat from us.
In the New Year, we hope to be able to make
a start at getting in some of the cats on the ever-growing
waiting list. Sadly, we still receive regular reports of "strays",
both cats and very young kittens.
Keep your fingers and paws crossed that January
will be a good month for Homing.

HELP!
| |
We are in urgent, no desperate need of homes! Our pens are
all fully occupied and, quite simply, we have no available
spaces for newcomers until someone out there gives one of
our existing cats a new home. We are now having to turn away
homeless and unwanted cats, cats with very sad stories, but
we simply cannot accomodate any more until one of our pens
is vacated.
We never put a healthy cat to sleep so it is over to you,
the public, to help us out by adopting one of our current
residents. You can view a selection of them in "Rogues
Gallery". Only then will we be able to take in the next
cat on our ever growing waiting list.
We hate not being able to help needy cats so please, help
us to help them.

NEUTER NOW!
We still have a few vouchers left to help with the cost of
neutering. If you know of anyone with an unneutered cat, now
is the time to get it done.
Ring the Helpline on 01594 841511.
LOST CATS
We are receiving lots of reports of cats going
missing from all over the Forest.
A lot of them are eventually found or return
of their own accord but do get your cat microchipped!
Then if your cat is found by a stranger and
brought to us or to a vet, you stand a much higher chance
of getting him back.
