Photo of the Week

Garden cat Mr. Tom survived for six months outside and alone before being brought to the Ark's Homing Centre by a caring neighbour. After a week decompressing he was overjoyed to be visited by his rescuer and jumped straight into her arms!

Mr. Tom has recently left the to the care of new owners in a home of his own.

As soon as we picked them up to examine them closely we discovered a dreadful flea infection on all three of them.

This is Molly (formerly Coco) rescued in December, who now has a fabulous new life in a proper home with a family who love her!

Doesn't this photo of a feline victim of Russian megalomaniac and dictator Putin, seem to fully embody the spirit, dignity and proud defiance of his Ukrainian family! 

This shows a Ukrainian Lady and her cat evacuating from their home.

In stark contrast to the brutality and callousness of the invading Russians, the Ukrainian people have impressed the world with their kindness and compassion!
