Kath, bless you, the lady at the second number you sugested let us take the cats there this afternoon. She was not really surprised that there were lots of abandoned cats at the moment as people were not taking them on because of holidays. She didn't think that they would be around for long as they are nice looking cats, neutered and less than a year old. The place was really quite nice, I don't know what I was expecting but was very pleased.

Animalmad, yes I have tried and tried and tried to get in touch with Many Tears. They just don't pick up their phone during the day and the chap that I got hold of in the evening said that I had to phone back in the daytime, ha!!!

Thanks all for your suggestions. I am feeling so relieved for the poor little cats and hope they have a wonderful life with new family/families very soon.

Now I can go and let my dogs out in the garden properly, without one of them trying to get into the shed and have supper
