FABULOUS FELINE NETWORK

Feline Network Patron MP for Torbay Kevin Foster and Debbie Johnson

While in Devon recently, I visited the Feline Network Charity shop at 11-13 Torquay Road, Paignton and was delighted to learn that it is dedicated to the world of cats. You all know how I love these furry creatures, as do so many in the UK and my readers in the US. 

This non-profit rescue organisation was set up by Debbie Johnson helped by her volunteers who all do their best to rescue and care for unwanted, ill-treated, abandoned and stray cats and kittens, ensuring they are neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped flea/worm treated, prior to finding  them suitable new homes.

Debbie and her team recently celebrated their ten year anniversary by arranging a great BBQ in Paignton to which one of their patrons,Torbay Member of Parliament Kevin Foster and friends of the charity attended and we all enjoyed a lovely evening listening to live music from Paddy's Whiskers.  

It's good to hear of such charities that help animals in this way, particularly cats.  Debbie and her team - all volunteers - are self-supporting and are able to do so by fundraising, raffles and the donations that help support this charity. 

In return, the Feline Network volunteers make themselves available offering help, information and advice to the public on all aspects of cat care.  A warm welcome awaits new volunteers whether in the shop (their main source of funding), fostering cats prior to re-homing or, indeed, their fund-raising events.  

The next big event is the Torbay Carnival on 31 July where the team will be parading through Paignton.  To find out more, do take a peep at their website:
