Volunteer and community-centred, I love cats, decent music, being out and about. Former carer for elderly relatives, passionate about support for unpaid carers and people ageing without close family support.

I thought you might like to see this photo of the cats in the Retirement Village at Shropshire Cat Rescue enjoying the sunny conditions yesterday. It really has been a beautiful few days this week, chilly but with a lot of sunshine.

#Caturday ~ spot the cat 😹. This was yesterday morning in the village. The volunteers couldn't believe their eyes but Catherine (22), Jinkxie (17) , Alistair & River all making the best of the sunshine on the roofs. The weather had changed from a frosty start.☀️☀️ #goldenoldies
