The Scottish SPCA

This is the Animal Rescue Centre where I found my best friend — my little black Tom Cat aptly named Thomas. He was one of a litter of nine and I knew he was the cat for me the first moment I laid eyes on him, with his big green eyes and tiny little paws.
It wasn’t long before Thomas was being told off for sharpening his claws on the sofa and terrorising the neighbours’ dog. Over the years he’s grown long ways rather than out — which earned him the nickname Linky as I think he looks a bit like a Links sausage. He sleeps in my bed with his little head on my pillow and he even escorts me to the bus stop — but I have to return him home as I worry about him getting lost along the way.
Thomas is thirteen now and has brought so much happiness and I view him just as another family member. The Dog and Cat Home do such a great job rescuing and rehoming strays and unwanted animals. So if you’re thinking of getting a new pet, you don’t have to splash out on an expensive pedigree but can find a wonderful animal here who would be so grateful for a chance and who would would bring you more happiness than you could ever imagine.
Even if you’re not looking for a pet you could always pop along to the Dog and Cat Home as they’re always looking for old toys and blankets along with donations of food — but be warned as it would be hard leaving without a furry friend!
