Is this anyones cat?

Vinnie from Westmere

A grey and white cat has turned up at the construction site at 13 Meola Rd. He/she seems to hide during the day when the builders are there and comes out around now when they leave. Poor baby cries all night. Seems in good health, but very timid. Hopefully somebody here knows it?

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres. Find out more
