Those of you who know me are aware that all things 'animal' draw me in. I have known for some time about the Mann Cat Sanctuary (Santon, Isle of Man) but have never had the chance to visit. I had the opportunity while visiting in June.
Kitty Heaven!
Every conceivable bed, chair, perch and carpet was 'littered'
with cats of all sizes and shapes!

Even the shelves of food and goodies were great places to sit!
The sanctuary was founded in 1996, by Sue Critchley and Carole
Corlett, to provide a safe and peaceful haven for unwanted, disabled and
traumatized cats.
The sanctuary is run solely by a small, dedicated group of caring unselfish volunteers. They work tirelessly trapping feral cats, making numerous trips to and from vets, grooming and sitting for hours simply comforting their residents.
The cats are free to roam the 2 indoor rooms as well as the outdoor enclosure
They even open their doors to a 'clucking' family and a beautiful parrot
If you would like to see this fascinating place for yourself, check out their live webcams:
