terrific little characters in need of a new home together

OZZY and FIYERO are 10-month-old brothers who are very bonded and need a home together. They are currently being cared for in the home of one of our volunteers so are well used to household noises and definitely know what a litter tray is for.

The boys will need to be given time, patience and love in the early days. Not all cats adapt to a new home immediately and Ozzy and Fio are no exceptions. But if their new humans are understanding and give them time the pair will blossom and show the loving, playful and funny sides to their characters.

These handsome, healthy cats need a settled home, well away from busy roads as they are not streetwise at all. Also we wouldn’t home them with young children. They need to be around people who are calm and considerate to them, so older children might be fine.

The boys are neutered vaccinated and microchipped and can have their bags packed very quickly when the right home comes along. Their fosterer will give any advice and support needed to settle them in their new home.

The pair have their own Facebook page with lots of pictures. Just log onto FB and search Ozzy and Fiyero to see more about them.

Please phone Julia on 07833 634087 or Gill on 01749 850660 if you would like to know more.

Website a showcase for Somerset

WITH the Somerset Day celebrations in May now less than four months away, a new website for Somerset Day has been launched.

The new site, designed, built and hosted by Ohana Studio, reflects the message behind Somerset Day, which is to inspire and empower communities and businesses and all who live and work in Somerset to share a passion for the county and to encourage them to celebrate all the county has to offer.

Nigel Muers-Raby, Somerset Day CEO and Founder, said: “We wanted the new site to champion the economy, history, heritage, beauty and culture of Somerset and to promote opportunities for everyone across this diverse county to be engaged and to be proud of Somerset.

“We believe the new site does just that and are looking forward to the next chapter in the growth and popularity of Somerset Day.”
