Whinnybank Cat Sanctuary Auchtermuchy school uniforms can be seen in our Auchtermuchty shop – they are in good condition and all we ask for is a donation. Can anyone go rosehip picking for Sue? She needs about 4kg to make rosehip jelly and rosehip and orange jelly. We now have plums and apples for sale in both our shops. Sue has picked up a very dark brindle tortie female cat in poor condition between St Michaels and Tayport – she is a real sweetheart but sadly she is not microchipped. If we cannot find her owner she will be put up for re-homing. Thanks to the pony club for their kind donation of books and bric-a-brac. To offer a home to a cat, help fundraise in our shops or at the sanctuary, call Sue on 01337 840414, or see www.catchat. org/adoption/fife.html & www.whinnybank.org.uk
