A great place to drop into and unwind with the serenity of 15 cats and kittens, after doing your last minute Xmas Shopping in town. Not open on Monday and you might want to go to their facebook page and pre book as I am sure they will be super popular next week.
They also have a lot of Cat Rescue made crafts for cats and humans which make one off/unique last minute presents.
Thanks for reading. All profits from above go to vet bills in this buzy kitten and desexing season.
