A PRIVATE cattery that provides emergency shelter for abandoned or stray cats and kittens has appealed for people to consider rehoming an animal.
Sadberge Boarding Kennels and Cattery, on Middleton Road, near Darlington, is not a rehoming centre, but takes in a number of animals in need of a home because local rescue charities do not have the resources to care for them.
The centre is currently looking after more than 30 cats and kittens and is holding an open day event on Sunday (October 6) in an attempt to find them permanent homes.
Sophie Moran, from the centre, said: “We’ve got cats and kittens from every age range at the moment. We’re hoping that the open day will help us raise some funds to look after them and hopefully get people to come and have a look at them.
“A lot of them have been handed in because people can’t afford to look after them anymore.”
The centre will be open to the public between noon and 5pm on Sunday.
