We realised that the closure of the old Cattery had created difficulties for members of the public and added to the pressures on other local animal welfare organisations, which is why we introduced the Stray Cat Scheme in 2005 We have also agreed with Barra Boarding Cattery in Chester to increase our provision with them from 5 cat pens to 17 cat pens and these are now in a separate area from their main boarding block It is a great addition to our facilities and we hope that Gladys is looking down and approves of our new facilities
