Sorry, no vacancies!
Please note that we are unable to take in any more cats!
We have now reached saturation point! We simply do not have room for any more. If we took any more, it could be to the detriment of those already here, so we have had to stop taking more in.
The sanctuary continues, and those cats that are here will, of course, continue to receive our full attention. As they can live good long lives, we suspect that many will be with us for several years to come.
To stop taking more in was easier said than done, as there seem to be very few places which accept FIV cats, but please don't give up on any cat, it may not be easy, but homes can be found for FIVs.
We need other people and groups to take up the cause and to encourage others to find spaces for FIVs - even just a few cats, multiplied by many areas and people, can help far more than we can ourselves, so our next mission is to provide what information, help and encouragement we can to increase the number of places FIVs can go.
We continue to give advice and any help we can to those who come across FIV, which is still, unfortunately, a misunderstood virus. If you want to contact us to discuss how best to help FIVs, either in general, or one specific cat, then we will be happy to share our experience and offer any moral support we can give - we just can't take any more cats!

Catwork Yearbook
What we got up to!
At the end of each year we produce a yearbook that chronicles what went on at Catwork during that year - loads of photos and stories of all the cats. We produce this for the benefit of our sponsors, to show them how we spend their money, but others may find it interesting as a reasonably detailed account of activities at Catwork.
Yearbook of 2009 The yearbook that illustrates all the cats and their stories during 2009 can be downloaded by right clicking here (4 Mb PDF)

Background
We started this yearbook thing, back at the end of 2001, when we produced a little diary for the year, with a page for each month that also showed one of the cats, and then we added a few notes about what we were doing and generally about what we were dealing with - we produced them as a thank you to our sponsors, and they have become a bit of a 'collectors item'.
We continued producing them as diaries for four years, but as they grew in scale and content, it was getting a bit embarassing when sending out diaries in February, so at the end of 2005, which was our tenth anniversary of Catwork, we dropped the diary idea and made them into a larger booklet - that year it ended up at 56 pages long!
The 10th anniversary yearbook is also here to download if you want to see it (6Mb PDF)
