jenvetnurse writes "A rehoming plea for 29 sweet-natured cats rescued from terrible conditions by Cats Protection has proved a real success – thanks to caring cat lovers around the country!
Last October, the cats were rescued by Cats Protection from just one house in West Yorkshire and brought to the charity’s National Cat Centre (NCC), near Haywards Heath in Sussex, where they received the intensive veterinary care that they desperately needed.
Suffering from anaemia, severe eye disease and severely undernourished, it took almost two months of constant TLC before the cats were well enough to find caring, new homes.

When the plea for homes went out, it didn’t take long for the sad plight of the brave and highly character-ful felines to win the nation’s heart. Happily, Wolfgang, Whitefang and friends soon became the cats that got the cream, thanks to people like Paul Wadey and Carrie Lane from Burgess Hill in West Sussex.
“Wolfgang and Whitefang, now called Trampus and Alfie, were the first cats we saw when we visited the National Cat Centre. We saw straight away that they were the biggest personalities – they were so affectionate that we fell in love with them immediately,” explained Carrie. “It hasn’t taken long for them to settle into their new home. They just love curling up by the fire and falling asleep on the sofa!”
Betty Boud, Manager of the NCC’s adoption centre, said, “I’m delighted so many of these lovely cats have found homes but with their lovely characters it wasn’t a surprise that it hasn’t taken too long.”
There are currently more than 150 gorgeous cats in the care of the NCC’s adoption centre, including several of the West Yorkshire cats, that are in need of loving homes. For more information, please contact the adoption centre on 08707 708 750.
