Battersea’s World Cup Kittens
To celebrate the World Cup, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has announced its own squad of 11 kittens, all named after England’s top players.

The furry team are just some of the 52 kittens at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home looking for new homes this June. Could you adopt a Rooney, Lampard, Crouch or Cole?
 
Rehomer Ros Davies says: “All of the kittens are great fun to be around and will make brilliant companions. We don’t want any to be left sitting on the bench this summer.”
 
She adds: “With the World Cup coming up, more people are likely to be spending their summer at home rather than abroad. For some this is the ideal time to rehome a kitten, as they can dedicate more time getting to know their new pet.”

If you can offer one of the World Cup kittens or an adult cat a home please contact Battersea on 0207 627 9234 or email rehoming@battersea.org.uk

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
