Cats Protection Wellington

When Cats Protection Wellington was begun in 1982, it was one of the first voluntary charities in NZ that was dedicated solely to the welfare of cats. The first president, Catherine la Roche, modelled it on the Cats Protection League in the UK. In 1983 Carol Kisby, the second president, donated a space behind the Penthouse Theatre in Brooklyn for CPL, and by 1986 this had become our first shelter.

- Not Man-Cat Monday, just a quick general update
  - 17 Aug 2009
  - Cats Protection Wellington
  - I'm thinking the monday/friday thing may be a bit sporadic and interspersed with general goings on at the shelter. Trying (not very succesfully) to focus on two cats a week does leave a lot out. So, tonight I'd like to introduce you to three lovely cats who have come to the shelter in the last week or so.
