Character: LaPerms are very gentle and extremely affectionate. They
often look out for human contact and purr the moment they become aware of
your presence. LaPerms are face lovers and often reach for your face with
the paws and rub their faces against your head, neck and, face.
Care: The LaPerm is very low maintenance that requires the very
minimum of grooming because the coat doesn't easily mat. The curls hold the
hair in a similar way to a poodle, so shedding is minimal.

9 Reasons for Adopting a Senior Cat – and
6 Reasons for Not Adopting a Kitten -
By John Young
In this “youth oriented culture”, the mature, senior cat is
often passed up for adoption in favour of kittens. This article offers several
practical reasons for adopting an older cat over a kitten.
Kitten Corner - We are a registered, small,
pro-quality of life organisation, dedicated to helping
abused/abandoned or neglected kittens. KC consists entirely of
dedicated volunteers with no source of outside funding
A while ago we shared with you the story about a seriously wounded cat
that we trapped on a coal mine close to Witbank. One of her legs was
hanging on a string and the other leg had serious wounds.
We have found another cat on this mine, WITH VERY SIMILAR INJURIES!
Her one leg was also hanging on a string, and the other foot was cut
off completely. This poor cats injuries also happened some time ago,
and it is just a miracle that she is still alive!
Saints is continuing to raise much needed funds for the Animal Shelters we
partner with, these funds enable them to rescue, rehabilitate, feed sterilize
and HOPEFULLY re-home them, do you have space for one more cat or dog or even a
bunny?

can help!
As you know from our last newsletter, we have switched to feeding the
cats and dogs mostly raw food. We have been really blessed with a
donation of 100kg of chicken every month! The only problem has been
that we don't have enough space in our chest freezer to fit all that
meat so we have had to donate some to other charities, which means we
miss out on having free meat for the month
Long story short, we need another freezer. I have finally found a
large one at a reasonable price, but we need R750-00. If you can help
towards this, we would be so grateful, and the cats will love you
forever! Our bank details are:

WINTER JACKETS
Winter has really hit us hard in Gauteng, the
coldest since 1994! Here is a way that you can
keep yourself warm and at the same time the
proceeds of your purchase will go towards
keeping a needy dog or cat warm and cared for!
The funds raised from every 5 jackets sold
will pay for the sterilization of one dog or
cat or can pay for a number of vaccinations. 6
jackets will pay for a plastic igloo kennel,
shelter from the biting cold wind.
We desperately need more artworks! Dear animal lover,
Most of you probably know about the Art Auction that CatPals holds each year to
pay for maintaining our sanctuarly for non-adoptable ex-ferals for a further 12
months.
This
year, the auction will be held on Saturday the 14th of August, so diarise the
date!
If you've been there before, you will know that it is an event not to be
missed, and if you've never been there, do yourself (and the cats) a favour and
come and join us for the most exciting event on the animal-rescue calendar!
(With apologies and winks to other animal-care events organisers.)
My name is Sandra, I am looking for a Devon rex breeder in Cape
town. I rescued a Devon rex 2 years ago from a lady in Krugers dorp.
The lady mentioned to me that the cat came from Cape Town. I would
really like to find out his date of birth.
He is black and he is 5 years old now. If any breeder in Cape town
remembers a Devon been adopted Johannesburg Krugersdorp, please can
you contact me. I really want to know more about this special
fellow.
As a huge animal lover and vegetarian I want to share my story to
help as many pet owners as possible. We are blessed to have the
most adorable cat, Misca who means the world to us! She adopted us
midnight December 31 1999 - our millennium gift! We have always
had dogs and Misca is our first cat. Misca has Hyperthyroidism /
kidney failure, a slight heart condition and hypertension. It is a
complex condition which is rare in this country.
Piet is an elderly man who worked for a nursery that had to close down. His
manager kindly found him a place to stay as well as donating Piet most of the
plants that were not sold and the two Wendy houses in which Piet and his sister
are living. I met Piet about a year ago when trapping ferals in Valhalla.
