SIR,

I would like to thank the many customers who have entrusted their precious feline friends to our care over the last 25 years.

Sadly, we have decided that the time has now come to close the cattery, age has taken its toll upon both premises and proprietor alike; the former having been rendered obselete in its present form by the current regulations/guidelines as monitored by the council, the latter by the ravages of time.

In the way that things have of creating their own solution, the very month that we became aware that our cattery would no longer meet the high standards required, a new cattery opened in Monmouth.

In consequence we have the comfort of knowing that our visiting friends may still be accomodated safely locally.

Once again many thanks for your custom.

Shirley and Michael Hickman

(Karenhurst Cattery, Tregagle, Penallt)
