Chips has finally realised that he is not allowed out tonight

ironing basket.

This is Satan. We adopted her

from Dereham cats protection

when she was just a kitten.

She's now 6 years old.

We have

Garfield that we

got from you guys

he eats as much

as the real

Garfield too lol x

Beautiful Gypsy, now 7 months old and extremely friendly and happy. Very

different to the noisy little thing she was when we first saw her squeaking

to be let out of the cage! X

Jaspers sister Lita is settling really well

too, she loves cuddling up on the bed at

night (left)

Jasper is settling into his forever home

really well . He is such a handsome loving

boy (right)

Just thought you might like

to see Jolly who we got off

her Jemma, she is happy,

she talks when she want's

your attention, she loves

tearing up boxes, she has a

loud purr, still a little

nervous thou. lol still

haven't got her to the vets,

she won't let us pick her up...... yet.

Here's our little Flint (Fire

Fly) making himself at home! Picked him up on

the 11th but it's like he's always been here! He's

very spoilt and loved to bits!

new home.

Love brindle torts! This my beautiful

Marble who I adopted from you

approximately 9 years ago! Xx

Hello! Just a

quick message

to say thanks

so much for

Tigger! He is a

brilliant cat!

Thought you

might want to

see a pic of

him! Can't believe we've had him almost 4 months!

Biff (perky) and Bob (pinky) are doing

really well . 2 happy cats

After I bumped into Dan in Dereham the other day, I thought it was time I sent you a few photos of

Riley and Olive Oyl (now Samson

and Mollie) to show you how well

they are settling into their new

home. They are great characters

and very good company - we are so

glad we took them on!

Thought we would show you how molly

is doing. We had her 2 years now and

she is a good girl..

Hi there,

We just wanted to thank you so much for

including us in the mewsletter. It made me

shed a tear with pride that we have Zebra.

She is so lovely....going out didn’t go too well as

she doesn’t like the harness (horrible thing) but we

are worried about losing her.

We are on half term now and will have more time

to try! We wonder if she cant hear very well???

She responds to loud noises (bumps etc.) but not

to quiet ones or her name (maybe a settling in thing) was she always called Zebra??

Its not a problem and we will laugh about it next spring when she’s living the full country life ha ha

Still thinking of little Molly and look on the website each day. Hope she is well

Once again thank you for our special gift and we hope to be back one day...when the boys are

bigger, I think you may have 3 more helpers!!

Jo, Mike, Toby and Chester Birkhead xxxx

Catalonia is settling in really well. She's very loving and has

fitted in really well with our others, especially our 19 month

old ocicat Belle-Meade who she has become great friends

with. They are often curled up together, usually with

Belle-Meade playing mum and grooming Catalonia. This is

especially nice for Belle-Meade as she has a damaged cruciate

ligament and is confined to one room. Catalonia likes to keep

her company (she's small enough to slip through the dog gate to get in). Here is a picture of them

relaxing together.

Ahhh….

another kitty

that looks

like my Lulu!

Love torties!

My baby girl,

Shiah . Such loving

fur babies.x

Marie has settled in well in her new home; still a bit unsure of my partner

(don't think she is too keen on men), but gradually improving. She goes

outside now, but doesn't go too far - seems to be happiest staying in our

garden. She likes playing with toys on string so keeps us busy in the

evenings, and follows me everywhere and seems very happy so thinks she

has picked a nice home! We are fairly quiet here, and only have little

visitors on odd weekends for spells so it is never too noisy for her. Hope you

are finding new homes for your other cats. Karen Starling

Zebra and the log burner heat

effect!! she has found several

purrfect places in the house to

call hers. xxx

My beautiful Maisy-Rae.

Watching Downton

Abbey, chillaxing and

most importantly..... my

first adopted cats

protection cat (4 years

ago). ahhh. x

Trevor is all settled in

already!! Loves company and

chasing the dog around. He

even loves the other cats

already. He is almost identical

to Snow our eldest, they look

like mother and son! Thanks

so

much.

Look Sugar

and Tanti!

This is the

first time

I’ve seen

them

together .

Apologies about the bad photo, I was

like 'oohhh grab the camera get that pic quick!'

Sending you piccies of Athena....adopted

last Sunday. She is beautiful and has

made herself at home already. She does

have the most adorable meow and loves to

snuggle on the sofa and on our beds. Luckily our

other cat that we adopted from you a couple of years

ago (Lord Ellingham) has been a real gentleman cat

and there's been no problem at all. He seems really happy with his new feline friend :)

Maisy settled in

just fine

Thanks for

everything

Hard to believe this

beautiful little princess

Cookie is 2 years old.

Cats protection you gave

us a new family member

2 years ago and she is

our princess. (Banamba)

previously

A friendly girl with all the makings of lovable lap

cat. 'Pebbles' is a younger cat who will

appreciate getting outside as well as enjoying

home comforts. A nice girl :)

Richard (Sugar Dumpling) relaxing

in his new home. Purring.. Even

with his poorly toe. Thanks for

your help today ladies! X

Thought I

would send

some

pictures to

you of Tilly

(Heaven)

showing you

how she is getting on. She is absolutely perfect, she

now spends all day during the day outside exploring

and has made a few friends around the close, she still

spends the nights inside and has commandeered one

of our sofa’s as ‘Tilly’s Seat’ and she will let you know

if you’re in it. She is getting very big, still eating well

and loves the odd treat here and there and she is very

vocal in the mornings!!

Ruby has settled in very well from the moment she arrived.

Wears us out as she "gallops" from room to room dragging

her toys.

The other cats are getting used to her - 2 girls and a boy;

the latter she walks over as he sleeps on the sofa! Or at

least tries to.

Managed a pic on the rare occasion she slows down.

Jackie Cook

Dexter is loving his new home after only a couple of hours!

Exploring every corner and windowsill, purring away and rubbing

against my legs for fuss! Couldn't be more pleased.

My wish has come

true, how about yours?

A big thank you to all our volunteers, also to all of you who

have adopted from us in the past and present.

Please don't throw anything away we will take it and raise needed funds for our

Adoption Centre

'Mr Tom' is a lovely lad who enjoys companionship and

seems to feel more secure with a little loving human

company. Probably better suited to a quieter home rather

than a bustling one. A pleasant chap, its definitely worth meeting him

and saying hello :)

Dear Santa - please do not

let me be alone anymore!

Total raised to date is a whopping £2,798.42

The First Toftwood Rainbows

have drawn us some pictures

and donated some cat food

as part of their work towards

you for thinking of us, it is

appreciated.

And Downham Market Cats Protection on the

10th January 2015

Cats Protection Downham Market Adoption Centre

You could win this fabulous hamper!

Tickets are just £1 & all money raised helps us help

more cats!

Why not pop along to get some tickets & pick up a few Christmas

This is the Howard family who adopted Pix(ie) from you just over a

week ago.

We wanted to let you know that she is settling in really well with us

and is already craving to go out and explore the garden. She has been

eating well and has adopted us as her own very

quickly.

We would also like to say "Thank you" for looking

after her so well and please do keep up the good

work so families like ours can have cats like Pix(ie).

Bella and Coco are both helping out with

the chutney, jelly and marmalade making

with money being raised for the Cats Pro-

tection!

Thank you so much Bella and Coco from all

of us here at the adoption centre :-) x x

Maggie Maggie is a lovely girl, she is quite

independent and enjoys a fuss. She

came to us due to her owner

expecting a baby and was under the

illusion that cats and babies do not

go together. (sadly we see so many

cats given up for this reason and all

it takes is a bit of cleanliness to

overcome the issue) She loves to be

the centre of attention and will do

this by rubbing around your legs,

Maggie loves to play which brings out

the happy feeling for her.

She is waiting for you!!

Timmy

Timmy is a very handsome boy, that

loves attention all over. He will come

and greet you to say "hello" and nuzzle

around your legs. Timmy is now looking

for that forever home to be loved in.

Lilith Lilith found herself here with us due

to her owners emigrating and unable

to take her with them.

As you can see by her cheeky

expression she has character which

includes playing and chasing

anything that moves, she would

make an ideal hunter especially with

her alertness.

She can be a bit bossy with other

cats so a home possibly on her own

would suit her down to the ground.

Ginge

Ginge is finding it strange

being with us, his owners

health was not good so was

unable to care for him

anymore. When initially seeing

him he will hiss but he does

not mean it as he enjoys a fuss,

he just needs some reassurance

that all is going to be well and

some kind person will come

along and choose him.

Thomas 'Thomas' has been

described as a Big Friendly

Giant. A lovely friendly

boy just wanting a home

for the first time in his

life. Thomas is the most

traditional looking Tom

Cat we've had in a while

he really lives up to his

name. Come in and give

him a fuss, you'll be

smitten...

Katie 'Katie' is a little old lady who

needs a nice relaxed home to

settle into take full advantage

of the comforts offered to her.

Many moons ago 'Katie'

started life as a one of our

kittens, she then spent her

entire life living with one of

our elderly supporters, who

has now sadly passed away.

We now feel we owe it to

'Katie' and to memory of her

owner to find her the perfect

retirement home before

winter sets in...

How to keep your feline in purr-fect shape this Christmas

If you are thinking of offering your cat a treat:

Do not give them human chocolate, which is not good for cats, or pieces of turkey which may contain small bones

Instead, offer them a little boiled fish or boneless chicken in its own juice (ensure it is adequately cooked to avoid the risk of salmonella poisoning). Alternatively you can give puss one of the many safe to eat Christmas cat treats that are available

Some cats will also nibble at the seasonal items that appear in their home over the festive period so do remember:

Holly and mistletoe are potentially toxic to cats so, if choosing to have them in your house, position them well away from your cat’s reach. Also if you receive any plants as Christmas presents, consult your vet to check they are safe for felines.

Watch your cat to see how he reacts to decorations such as baubles, tinsel or Christmas light cables. If he can’t keep his paws off them then it is best to keep him out of the room when you are not with him.

After opening presents, be sure to completely clear the room of wrapping paper, elastic bands and so on to prevent your cat from nibbling at them.

Kiss

Kiss is adorable, cute as a pie She looked after her kittens (apples of her eye) A youngster herself

at the age of just one, She’d love a new home where she could start having fun.

Kiss has been at Downham Market Adoption Centre for three months

while she raised her six kittens, and has done a fantastic job - all have

found loving homes. It’s now Kiss’s time to find someone to love and with

whom she can form a permanent bond. She needs outside space where

she could run and play to her hearts content but also a warm lap to curl

up on in the evenings. She is finding life in a pen frustrating so we are

keen to match her with an owner in order for her to start her new life.

Found

In the area of Holt Road, Norwich and

brought to Cats Protection on the 30th

November. , if you recognise him please

contact us 01362 687919 ref 254770

Ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) ingestion is

seriously dangerous. It is sweet-tasting and

very palatable to dogs and cats. Even a

relatively small quantity can cause serious

kidney damage and can be fatal.

Unfortunately, the longer the delay

between ingestion of the anti freeze and

initiation of treatment the less favourable

the prognosis.

Protection

I'm not in

Downham I'm

in West Winch

but does

anyone know who may have lost their cat......it was

spending a lot of time eating sunflower seeds from

my bird table and was very thin....it sleeping under

the hedge most of time . I've now started to feed it

twice a day but cannot take it in due to 2 cat's of my

own who do not like other cat's.....it's looking much

better for food but would hope its back in a home

before winter sets .

Dear all - this is a pic of the ginger and white cat

which has been hanging around Rougham Airfield

all on its own. Jay finally managed to catch him and,

if anyone recognises him he's with Bury Stray Cats.

Hope he finds his owner or a loving new home

soon! Thanks Jay for ensuring he's warm and dry,

especially in this weather!

Is anyone missing this little babe? Keeps turning up at my house

(near town centre in Dereham) hungry and sad. If it already has a

home I don't want to feed/re-home it, but can't see it go hungry or

think of it stuck outside in horrible weather. hope the pic can be

viewed

Please can we share this photo to

try to reunite with his/hers

owner thank you

This cat has started hanging around

our house in the Carbrooke/Watton

area. No collar but my guess is he

has been missing sometime as he is

very skinny. Very loud and vocal and

very hungry.

Please can everyone keep a look out for my

friends cat, she is an indoors cat since moving

to Dereham (opposite cemetery) and is shy

and not easily approachable, she escaped yes-

terday but she will be scared and lost so

please share and if you spot her please

contact me thank you
