    Sounds to me like someone at the charity is getting a nice little kickback from the shelter people, perhaps - good that the manager picked up on it anyway, hopefully it might prevent anyone else spending a large sum of completely unnecessary money!  In her 13 years of life I can never once recall HRH coming home soaking wet after rain. She did stalk in one day positively coated in diesel, mind you...that's a whole other story though! 
    The link they sent me was Amazon so I don't think it was that, I think the manager was on holiday so they were trying to cross every t and dot every i. Good that they're looking out for the cats welfare but in the process could end up losing potential adopters.

    So finally it's Caturday - I have been and collected Boo, she is gradually settling in, quite nervous but has barely stopped purring since she arrived home. Smitten! x

    How lovely for you that Boo is settling already.  The sound of a purring cat is bliss and even better if they are on your lap.
