Well, not quite, but it drizzled a bit on the Worthing Carnival on Bank Holiday Monday - but that didn’t dampen our spirits or stop us having a brilliant time, as you can see from the photo! If you were among the thousands of people who braved the chilly winds, you might have seen us dressed up as cats, rabbits and vets and giving out info packs to pet owners along Worthing seafront, not to mention collecting money for the Rotary who organised the event - the whole day was wonderful! A huge thank you goes out to the residents of Grand Avenue who very kindly let us use their ‘facilities’!

Keep your eyes open at the Worthing Carnival on Bank Holiday Monday 25 August 2008 for the team from the Grove Lodge main Hospital - we’ll be there! It’s 50 years since the Hospital was built so we thought it would be a fun idea to dress up as animals and crazy vets and generally be a bit silly!
Come down and say hi, or just have a laugh at us!
See you there!

My name is Katie Cat. I am around 12 years old and dark tortie and white. I found my current home through Worthing and District Animal Rescue Service when my previous owner became ill, had to go into hospital and sadly died. I was used to being loved, but not everyone wants to take on an older cat like me and so I was very pleased to find another home straight away!
My first experience of the vets was to have my vaccinations and a microchip – not too sure I liked either of those, but they were better than catching nasty illnesses and being lost!
The vet discovered I had plaque on my teeth, so I had a dental the following week. My teeth were cleaned and a bad one removed, so my mouth felt much better. My owner now gives me special toothpaste to keep my teeth clean and healthy. At the same time as the dental, the nurses took some blood and tests revealed I have some problems with my kidneys. For the time being, a special diet will keep me well, but it is possible I will need regular medication in the future so need frequent check ups.
I have to live indoors as I am quite a senior citizen and also very hard of hearing. I do not like a lot of fuss, but do like to have a play with my toys every now and then! My favourite pastimes are eating and sleeping and my fleece blanket in the sunshine is the best spot for a snooze. I also like to sit beside my new owner, Abigail, and watch television in the evening.
I am very happy to have a new home with someone who loves me and ensures I stay in good health. An older cat like me is usually happy with a warm comfy bed, nice food and clean water. Why not have a look at the other older WADARS feline residents who need a place to live out their twilight years in comfort. Their website address is www.wadars.co.uk.
