Just a reminder about this event that guarantees to be a great day out (honest!).

We have plans for a great cake stall this year and a number of competitions to keep people entertained - including a challenging quiz for the older visitors and a competition involving balloons, pipe cleaners and felt tips for the younger visitors (or the adults!).....you need to come along to find out more.

Lots of great cat items on sale from toys to bedding, and also items for the humans too.

Minimopsical and all the other residents at the Inn would love to see you there.

We just need to pray for good weather now........
  ;D

I'm fed up with missing the last few Paws Inn events due to work commitments that I can't get out of and unfortunately can't come along this time either :(  However, I'll hopefully be round with a donation for the event in a few weeks' time when I'm up in Cheshire again (it's a pain living 200 miles away!)

Thanks Carolyn and Tan.
Decided to thrown caution to the wind today and we will be selling ice cream  for people to sit and eat outside in the scorching sun  :rofl: At least I think positive.
We should also be honoured with a visit from a very special Cheshire cat called Tricky, he is 6 foot tall and tells me he wears nothing but his fur  :rofl: Christine and Tan will know who this is.

I`m not quite sure how to describe today; I know that yesterday I sat on Busters Bench and told Claire that if I had one wish in life it would be **********I cant say anything yet but it looks as if that wish is about to come true; Claire has worked like a trojan organising and getting everything ready, the one thing I needed to arrange was the weather, it didnt rain, the heavens simply opened and bucket loads fell from the sky until everyone and everything was soaked, cats were all lovely and dry and I think enjoyed the spectacle of watching humans trying to bail roof of gazebo before giving up and fleeing into an already standing room only house. I think its fair to say we had the most glorius sunshine about 5 minutes before we closed.
I just received this email from someone I didnt meet until today
Hi Theresa
Thank you for an excellent afternoon, shame about the rain but then again this is England. We both really enjoyed out visit....we are so impressed by the quality environment that you provide for the cats in your care. I do hope that you will find a loving home for Rosie...she clearly deserves it and that Cookie pulls through.
Will you keep us informed of any other fundraising events in the future please....we do want to continue to support you in your wonderful work.
Iris and Keith
Gosh all that rain and these people want more think that says it all.
Took these pics of certain forum member who was very comfy in the new kitten Pen, think he has an adoring kitten fan. :rofl:

Thanks to Claires hard work we raised 380.17 today and £35 in paypal donations, so all in all a big help towards this months vet bill.

Ems the hunk sends his love to you :hug:

 :rofl: Can I point out that I'm not wearing incontinence kecks in them pics, they're my bike waterproofs.

That aside, I had a grand time at the Inn as I always do. Never fails to amaze me how much care the little ones get, doesn't matter if the Inn is full or not, they still get all the care and attention they deserve. Always leave with a glow I do. Almost left with a Lollipuss too, but couldn't find a helmet for her to come on the bike.

Ta very much T, Claire and Rob  :)

Just a little update on the amount raised,paypal donations were actually £85 a slight error by me,380.17 on the day and further donations of £190

Grand Total of £655.17 which will cover half of the June vet bill, so absolutely wonderful a huge thank you to everyone that supported us.
