JUST to let your wonderful readers know that Thompson, the large "mature" ginger tom, has settled into a happy family home as a result of his photo appearing in the letters column.

Not only that, his photo produced many enquiries for older cats and five OAPs (Old Age Pussycats) are also now enjoying home comforts.

Unfortunately it also produced requests to take in unwanted cats so our numbers are up again!

Another nice result was the offer from readers of much needed food and cat litter, always a worry for a very small charity like us.

Finally should any readers be interested in offering practical help, fundraising and of course adopting or fostering a cat, please phone either me, Christine on (01253) 720357, or Karen on 01772 634068.

Christine Ashton,

Chairman of Cat Rescue (Blackpool Wyre and Fylde).
