Restaurants, bars and cafes are also fizzing after physical distancing rules were relaxed.

Asking on behalf:

Would anybody be interested in adopting a farm/outdoor cat? A local business has a cat that was dumped a few years ago, they had him desexed and feed him twice a day but are moving on soon and need to find a new home for this boy. He is used to people but does not like to be touched, he would make an excellent mouse catcher but will need to be fed and have shelter provided. As he gets used to you he may become more friendly but this is not a given. He is estimated to be around 3 years old and is neutered. Please contact me for more information.
