Please ring 0151 355 9813 if you are interested in homing any

of these cats and we will arrange a home check. (It will be an

answering machine. Leave your name and number and we will

return your call). Go to www.southwirral.cats.org.uk to see other

cats in need of a home.

There is an adoption fee of 40 per cat. Each cat will be:

Fully examined by a veterinary surgeon, Vaccinated at least once against u and enteri-

tis, Treated against eas, tapeworm and roundworm, Neutered if old enough. Micro chipped He will also comewith four weeks Petplan insurance cover, which you may choose to continue, Giving invaluable peace of mind

and reassurance as you and your cat embark on this lifelong friendship

South Wirral Cats Protection have a number of cats who desperately need a home.

Can you give a cat a home?Can you give

Biscuit

a home?

Biscuit is a friendly

cat though when

he gets excited he

has a tendency to

nip so we are look-

ing for a home for

him with an experi-

enced cat person.

He does get on well

with other cats.

This handsomeyoung cat is one

year old, neutered,

microchipped and

vaccinated.

Everyone at the branch would like to say a big thank

you to all who have supported us over the past year,

and a great big meow from the cats. Between us

weve made a difference so thanks to one and all.

Whether you gave your time as a volunteer, donated

monies or items for sale, or are one of our members,

or maybe you have one of our collection tins on your

premises, without your support it would not have been

possible to help the cats and kittens that have come

to our attention in 2011

Why not visit our Adoption Gallery at www.southwirralcats.org.ukto see the

cats currently awaiting new homes. If you can offer a safe, loving and permanent

home to one of the cats featured, or if you would like some more information aboutadopting a CP cat, please get in touch.

Cyclamen have lovelymarbled green leaves whichcontrast well with the goldenand green foliage of evergreenshrubs such as Elaeagnus xebbingei Limelight or the

yellow leaved Choisyaternata Sundance. Plantsome around the shrubfor winter interest andadd some small daffodilsand crocuses for colourin February. Enjoy the

beauty of frost on the leavesof plants such as the robustpurple leaved Heucheras,holly or the indestructibleEuphorbia robbiae.

If you want scent inwinter I recommend thewinter box, Sarcococcahookeriana or confusa

varieties. Theseunassuming little shrubshave evergreen foliage andhighly scented tiny whiteowers in winter so put a

couple near your door or in an

enclosed spot and you will be rewarded withscent in January or February. The evergreenshrub Skimmia japonica also has slightlyfragrant owers, owers over winter and will

tolerate almost any position in sunor shade.

Jobs to do in Decemberinclude digging over thevegetable bed and adding

a layer of organic matter

on the surface of the soilto rot down over winter.I would also recommendthat you mulch the ower

borders in winter. Usewell rotted manure, or

rotted green waste which canbe bought from garden centres

or your local recyclingcentre. Put a layer about

2ins deep around all yourplants. This will act as ablanket keeping the soilfurther down, unfrozenduring freezing

weather. Many plantswere killed last winter

because their roots werefrozen for long periods of

time and a layer of mulchcan help protect the more

tender plants.Prune overgrown shrubswhilst the leaves are

off the plants and youcan see the old andnew growth. Plant out

bare rooted trees orroses once they arrive,

provided the soil is notfrozen.
