We re-homed this little girl, Camille, aka Tabbles during lockdown from @DevonCatCentre aged 18! Sadly she passed away today at the age of 22 years, 6 months. A tiny cat with a huge personality and a very loud miaow! We’re heartbroken. RIP little one Cats Protection



A Barred Owl dropped in through the chimney of a home in Arlington, Virginia earlier this week. The owl decided to settle on top of the homeowner’s Christmas tree as a resting spot. It was then safely released back into the wild by AWLArlington, VA.🦉
