STAFF at a Tyneside shelter are celebrating rehoming 3,000 cats since opening seven years ago. Moggies David and Felix were adopted to two families within minutes of each other to take the total number of cats rehomed by Cats’ Protection's Tyneside Cat Centre in Felling to 3,000 since 2018.

- DANIEL HALL

Both are now settling into their new homes, with three-year-old former stray Felix going home with the Hardy family from Hexham and five-month-old kitten David catching the eye of the Pitchford family from Bedlington. ‘They follow the likes of Beans, a unique cat born with no sexual organs who received adoptions — enquiries from as far as California; and scaredy-cat Bowie, who spent more than 100 days in the centre before an appeal by our sister paper The Chronicle helped him find new owners.
