Earlier this year Malcom a lovely 5 year old cat went to his forever home.

We are extremely pleased to report that he is doing very well and settled well into his loving new home.

His new owner Jacqueline said “‘From the very first day Malcom arrived he has made himself at home.”

“He has several places at home where he likes to sleep and all are up high.”

“In this last week he has started going outside and is returning home no problem.”

He still can nip but this is mostly when he is playing, no injuries have been caused!”
