ST.FRANCIS HOSPICE FOR CATS
Registered Charity No 1062053
St. Francis Hospice for Cats is not a re-homing centre, but a registered hospice
for chronically sick and elderly cats. The Hospice look after around 80 cats,
whilst also caring for a feral colony in the Derby area. They are included here
as they are desperately in need of donations and sponsors, to enable them carry
on with their invaluable work. You could make a real difference by sending a
donation, however small. If you are in the Derby area, perhaps you could lend a
hand with a fund-raising event? You can contact the hospice as above, or visit
their web site for more details of their work.
Indoor Homes Needed: St.
Francis Hospice is looking for loving homes for cats in their care who are
carrying FIV, but who are otherwise healthy. The Hospice is happy to pick up any
future vet bills. Please Note: These cats will need to be 'indoor' cats only.

Considerations when Buying a Cat
Before you purchase a cat please ensure that you have thought carefully about the responsibility of cat ownership. Never buy a cat on impulse - cats often live to around twelve years of age but many cats much longer. Owning a cat is a commitment, which should be carefully considered. Speak to your local veterinarian and other cat owners, and gather as much information as you can to aid you in your decision.
Housing
The only accommodation a cat really needs in the house is a good bed which may be any comfortable chair, box or basket. Igloos or beds can be purchased for your cat but quite often these are ignored, and a spot on your bed or favourite chair is preferred.
If you decide that your cat will have access to outside, ensure that a cat door is fitted to an external door of the house, to enable access to the house at all times. Some cat doors are magnetically operated, which allows your cat to enter the house but prevents the unwanted intrusion of other cats. The "modular park" cage system is an excellent and safe way for cats living in flats or near busy roads to be outdoors and have exercise.

Genetics for Cat Breeders and Veterinarians
Book Description
Robinson's Genetics for Cat Breeders & Veterinarians 4th Edition is an essential purchase for all breeders of pedigreed cats, practising small animal veterinarians and veterinary undergraduates. This fully revised edition re-establishes Genetics for Cat Breeders as the text of choice in the field of feline genetics.
Synopsis
The field of genetics has changed considerably since the first edition of "Genetics for Cat Breeders" was published in 1971. For decades the discussion of genetics was limited to observations of populations but now geneticists are beginning to look at the actual molecular mechanisms behind the traits and diseases seen in the cat. Continuing the pioneering work of the late Roy Robinson, Carolyn Vella and her team of experts have significantly expanded the scope of previous editions to produce a work which is now of equal benefit to both veterinary surgeons and cat breeders. Their aim has been to make the book more accessible and understandable whilst providing an impartial look at sometimes controversial and complex issues. The book retains the most important information published in previous editions and also incorporates some of the continuing work done by Roy Robinson prior to his death. A considerable amount of new information has been added in order to provide both breeders and veterinarians with the broadest possible range of information. The authors have not only reviewed the traditional sources of scientific literature and recently published studies, but have also conducted interviews with veterinarians, researchers and breeders.
