I love this photo of Zak and Francis. Although I have to tell you that Zak can be a bit naughty. Just before I took this photo it was Francis who was happily lying right next to the heater, that was until Zak nuzzled his was into prime position. As Zak is the boss he usually gets his own way .

Recently Zak has been pictured at the top of their new cat tree proving he is 'top cat' at St Francis. So I thought it was nice capturing this shot where he is happy sharing it with Frankie .

simbakis: I read about your charity and it melted my heart. God bless u. Hope to be able to visit one of those days.

motherdoe_twinfawns: Kitty Sheriff!

lbw117: Zac is beautiful as is all your cats! You do wonderful things there. God bless you. Does someone live there full time?

sfhfc: @simbakis thank you for the lovely comment. St Francis will always welcome visitors to fuss and love our residents .

sfhfc: @lbw117 Somebody did used to live there full time but due to a change in circumstances St Francis is now looked after by the board of trustees (of which I am one) and a handful of amazing volunteers who give up their time to make sure that our residents receive all the care and attention which they deserve 

alex_savage: I love Zak :-)

Best of Friends (part 1)

This is my first picture in #graysgallery to feature two of our residents. I just loved the way that they were curled up together. This is something that Zak, our 'top cat' likes to do with a lot of his mates at St Francis. I'm not really back in IG yet, just sneaking this post from our blog on .

I couldn't help but share this lovely montage. Zak and Jiminy just didn't want to look at the camera at the same time. I really don't know how @momomony captures her adorable multi cat photo's .

GRAY'S GALLERY I love this photo of Zak. I took it a while ago after we had moved a couple of the scratch-posts about at sfhfc. Zak was one of the first of our residents to investigate and thankfully I was quick enough on this occasion to capture this image as he looks out contentedly. You may have noticed that my past few Gray's Gallery selections have been black and white edits. I am still experimenting with this and I am enjoying some of the results which I am getting. I hope you continue to like them too.

sfhfc: @adeliriousfan no, even though Zak had been badly beaten before he came to sfhfc his ear was alright when he came to us. Zak came in back in 1999 and I don't know why his ear went like this?

adeliriousfan: Oh my goodness, beaten? The poor thing. All of your residents are beautiful. I just want to thank you for all you do for these cats. ❤

sfhfc: @adeliriousfan it is so hard to understand how some people can be so cruel to animals. I think you can find more info about Zak if you check out his own #sfhfc_zak tag. That you for your kind words. We love all of our residents so much

xenophaedja: @jakl5 have to read this. These folks rock.

nakitaglitta: I just cried reading this. Why are there so many cruel people in our world? Animals are defenceless, beautiful creatures. It's not fair. Thank god for beautiful people like you. Thank you ❤

adeliriousfan: Thank you. He's such a lovely cat (as all of them are lol). You guys are just wonderful. ❤

sfhfc: @nakitaglitta I will never understand it. Sadly we come across this type of thing from time to time. I just wish we could do more to stop violence to animals . Thank you for your lovely words

icklecazza: I love them all but Zak has got to be my fav! That face is just adorable

Well it is a wet and miserable day here in the Midlands in the UK. So I am posting this photo I took yesterday of Winston and Zak playing with a cat ball in the sun. When you see Winston playing like this you would never imagine that he is an old boy. Winston did most of the playing while Zak just looked ready to pounce
