This young cat came in with a terrible injury. Jasper is a lovely, friendly ginger boycat – how he’d hurt himself no one knows. The people who’d brought him had seen him running round with this awful wound for many days and no one to help him. Poor Jasper was thin and hungry, in no […]

RUFUS NEEDS A PADDOCK – he’s walking the round the stables but it’s a concrete floor and hard for his poor feet. He looks longingly outside – but we can’t let him go out in the fields with the other ponies because Rufus is a stallion pony. His pals get turned out every morning but […]
