During the decade Paul worked with us & @RealPOGDogs , his love for dogs, cats & passion for animal welfare truly came to life. To quote Paul: "Taking any animal into your life will inevitably end in heart ache, but you donโ€™t worry about the hangover when you're at the party" ๐Ÿ’™

Happy #BlackCatAppreciationDay ! ๐Ÿ–ค Black cats made up 43% of the cats that came into our centres last year, making them the most likely to find themselves in need of rescuing. Post a picture of your mini-panther, and help spread the black cat love! ๐Ÿ˜

Howard was a stray so we didn't know much about his past but it was clear from the scars littering his body that he had had a difficult life. ๐Ÿ’” After spending time with one of our foster carers this gentle giant blossomed and has now gone on to find a new home. #CharityTuesday
