From the Rayleigh Cats Protection website yesterday:
We would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year and to thank everyone who has helped us, in whatever way, last year. We homed 343 cats and kittens through our Branch in 2011, the highest number for many years, and we are very grateful to everyone who has supported, and continues to support, Rayleigh, Castle Point and District Cats Protection. Without you, we would not be able to help the cats and kittens in this part of Essex.
They go on to mention their first homing event of the year:
Cat Homing Show in Benfleet
Location: WRVS Hall, Richmond Avenue, Benfleet, SS7 5HE
Saturday, 14 January 12 @ 10:30 (GMT)

Please come along and see lots of lovely cats looking for new homes, all present at the WRVS Hall, Richmond Avenue, Benfleet, SS7 5HE on Saturday 14 January. The hall will be full of cats, all of different ages and colours, all looking for their new homes for 2012 and the years ahead.
