The Anglo-Saxons called it 'Winter monath', or 'Yule monath' because of the custom of burning the yule log around this time. After many Anglo-Saxons became Christians they called it 'Heligh monath' or holy month, because Christmas, the birth of Jesus, is celebrated in December.

BONNIE (spayed) - Her kittens have been a real pleasure to observe as they’ve grown, both in size and confidence, and whilst mum has had her work cut out with these guys & gals, she’s been absolutely tremendous with them all. Bonnie did spend a short spell with a fosterer and thoroughly enjoyed her freedom. Only young herself, about 1½ years, Bonnie now longs to live her life a little and receive some attention and TLC. FERDINAND - Black & white shorthair, male, approx. D.O.B: February ’09. Left on the doorstep of a catloving lady who just cannot take in any more as much as she would love to – she did a marvellous job of fostering for as long as she possibly could and Ferdi came into our care when she moved house. A handsome boy with a relaxed and cuddly nature, fully vaccinated, totally domesticated and eager to fit into a loving home environment.

BROWNIE: is a lovely dog who can be a bit shy of strangers but, once he knows you loves nothing more than a cuddle. He tends to hang back when visitors arrive and so often gets overlooked but would so appreciate a home. Very gentle with other dogs. D.O.B. December 06.

SAMMY: ginger/white tabby. Very wary at first, tends to follow where Polly leads but just starting to come out of his shell showing his loveable cheeky-chappie side. Cautious, cheerful, charming. ELENA: is watchful of strangers however, with people that she knows she is a very loving and affectionate dog. All Elena needs is somebody who will give her 48 hours to get over her initial nervousness, after that small sacrifice she will make a loving, playful and loyal pet. Elena loves to play with other dogs. Neutered Malamute Husky/Goat Dog cross. D.O.B. April 06. TILLY: a female tortoiseshell. Such a terrified little bundle when she arrived, but has settled down with the help of her brother and sister who always give her washes and cuddles. Tactile, tender, timid.
