3 cats at North Wales rescue centre hoping for adoption
North Clwyd Animal Rescue (NCAR) have cats, dogs, horses and some smaller animals, all hoping to find their forever home.
The staff and volunteers at the Trelogan-based charity know the animals as individuals, and therefore know what kind of home they are more likely to thrive in.
Whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or horse, staff are on hand to advise on the character and suitability of each.
They also make sure potential new owners are aware of the ongoing costs of a pet, including food and vet bills, which can often be for unexpected treatment.
But thankfully there are plenty of responsible, loving people and families looking to give an animal a loving new home.
And there are always animals of all types, ages and needs that will be the perfect match.
Here we meet just some of the cats at NCAR looking for a new home...
• For more details, please visit ncar.org.uk or if you would like to support the charity without adopting, you can visit their cafe, open from 10.30am to 3.30pm. They also accept donations at the centre between 10am and 4pm.
Lenny waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Lenny is almost four-years-old, came into care due to his owner being allergic. He is very nervous in the cattery environment and has taken a while to settle in. He is making some progress but we feel he will come along much quicker in a home environment. He is looking for a quiet home as this is what he has been used to previously. In his previous home he was used to going in and out so is looking for a home with a good outdoor space for him to explore once he has settled in. His previous owners have said he is affectionate when he knows you but is quite a shy cat in general. His previous owners have said once he trusts you he is fine being stroked and picked up and likes human interaction and sitting on your lap in the evenings. Lenny is looking for an adult only, pet free home and needs someone that will be patient with him whilst he settles and adjusts to his new home.
Zelda waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Four-year-old Zelda is a nice girl who has come into care for rehoming due to her owners ill health. She has been used to a quiet home, so is looking for a quiet home this time around too. Zelda is used to going outside previously so is looking for a home away from busy roads, where she can venture safely once she has settled into her new home. She can be a bit timid at times but is affectionate and loving once she is familiar with you.
Leo waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Six-year-old Leo is a lovely girl who has been signed over to care for rehoming due to a change of circumstances for her owners. She had been in the same home since being a kitten, so she was understandably quite bewildered when she arrived here but she has settled more now and we are seeing her lovely personality. She is looking for a home as the only pet as she has never lived with other animals before. Leo is looking for a home with a safe outdoor area for her to venture and explore once she has settled in, as she has previously been used to going in and out throughout the day.

‘It's a miracle he survived', hillwalker plunges 160ft in horror sheer drop fall on Scots mountain
'Where he fell has almost certain fatal consequences. He was very lucky indeed' RESCUE MISSION 'It's a miracle he survived', hillwalker plunges 160ft in horror sheer drop fall on Scots mountain Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HILLWALKER has baffled rescuers after miraculously surviving plunging more than 160 feet in Glen Coe. The man in his 30s fell from a precarious ledge over 1600 feet up an iconic Scottish mountain. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The man in his 30s fell from a precarious ledge over 1600 feet up an iconic Scottish mountain Rescuers said he faced a sheer drop fall with 'almost certain fatal consequences'. The man was with a group on Gearr Aonach, the middle of the Three Sisters range in Glen Coe. But he fell in an area known as The Zig Zags last weekend. Five members of Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team were scrambled while another rescue was happening at the same time in Glen Etive – and what turned out to be the third in a day. 'He fell on a vertical drop of 164 feet,' said deputy team leader Brian Bathurst. 'It has become a particular accident blackspot – with three call outs recently to that same spot. It appears people are misjudging the junction. 'He hit a ledge on the way down and suffered multiple injuries and was in a critical condition. It is a miracle he survived. It is very rocky terrain. 'Where he fell has almost certain fatal consequences. He was very lucky indeed.' An Inverness-based coastguard search and rescue helicopter flew the walker to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. His condition is unknown but is no longer life threatening. Watch shock moment couple cheat death as they fall off 5,000ft mountain while taking risky shortcut to avoid queue The team was so short-handed that day that veteran rescuer Ronnie Rogers, who is in his 70s, helped out with the Glen Etive rescue involving a man who suffered broken ribs after falling into a burn. 'Knowing we were going to be short handed, Ronnie once again laced up his boots and raced into the Glen to help despite the fact that after 50 years he officially 'retired' from front line team duties in November 2022,' added Mr Bathurst. 'He is a legend. Since stepping back, Ronnie has helped with team callouts by calling team members on the phone to deploy them to incidents so was well aware that help was needed that day. 'We would like to wish all the casualties well in their recovery and as always a huge thank you to the helicopter crews and everyone else involved.'

Church clock thought to be 600 years old returns after restoration
The much-loved, turret clock has been undergoing specialist restoration since its removal in March from St Catherine's Church in Montacute, near Yeovil, Somerset. The timepiece was originally thought to have been constructed in the 1600s but research has confirmed the clock's mechanism is significantly older than first believed and was probably originally constructed in the early 1400s. Specialist restorer Timsbury Clocks has undertaken the restoration project. Symon Boyd works on the restoration of the clock (Grace productions/PA) The dial has been restored to its traditional colours of blue and gold and has been re-gilded. Restorer Symon Boyd has been re-installing the inner workings of the clock in the church ready for the dial to be fastened back on the tower on July 1. Nic Laycock, churchwarden of St Catherine's and restoration project lead, said: 'It is a matter of pride that this Somerset treasure has been restored, and its story will be displayed using entirely Somerset-based specialists. 'The clock has served Montacute for centuries. It carries with it a rich human story, from its construction to the remarkable men who cared for it day after day. Humphrey Hamlin, left, who previously worked on restoring the clock, joins Mr Boyd in re-installing the mechanism inside the church tower (Grace productions/PA) 'If it could talk it would recount the history of the church's witness to the village from medieval times to the present day. 'We know many stories – but there may be much still to discover.' Pupils from the nearby All Saints Church School are preparing a time capsule to be placed behind the clock face to commemorate the restoration for future generations to discover and enjoy. An exhibition is also being developed inside the church to tell the story of the clock. The clock room, which is located 15 metres up the church tower, has been fitted with new lighting and cameras to showcase the inner workings of the timepiece.
