Zoe's usual spot is on the shelf by the back door as she always likes to be one of the first to greet us volunteers. But here she is cuddled up in a cat bed in the Garden Room.

You can see one of the cat fountains which have been kindly purchased for us off our Amazon wish list. We have received two of them already and know that a third will be on its way to us soon

Again many many thanks to everybody who has made a purchase off our wish list

We can only continue the work we do with our residents with your help, so thank you very much

amandavonriot: Is she outside? Where'd Mr. Bunny come from? Lots of cuteness in this photobomb!

victoralbatross: @asystolej9 ohhh he looks like a mad bunny...

sfhfc: @amandavonriot @victoralbatross @asystolej9 it is a big mural of a forest scene which has been painted in the main room at the hospice

amandavonriot: Hahahaha!! It fooled us all!! Very realistic!!

mohawk236: Zoe has a sleepy face and bed head! So cute!

Zoe and the gang from St Francis just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your lovely kind words about Fred2. It really does mean a lot to us. We're off to bed now, night all .

sfhfc: A big big thank you to Maggie from all our furry residents, they hope to see you soon .

alex_savage: Gorgeous :-)

sfhfc: @alex_savage thanks Alex, she really is a darling .

alex_savage: I wish I could come an see all your lovely cats. If I lived closer I would volunteer, it would be so wonderful to be around them all and to care for them :-)

trismac: Hi Zoe!! 

c1e5: Haha how cute does Zoe look  I bet she won't be looking that cute in a couple of hours when it's medication time 

Tonight while I was at sfhfc we had to get rid of two of our large rustic scratch-posts. It was a shame as they have been well used over the years but sadly they had seen better days. Here I captured Zoe on one of them just before Chris, one of our volunteers got his saw out to help to dismantle them.

We have been looking to replace these for a while but it has so far proved impossible to source a UK based company who makes these large, hard wearing rustic cat climbers. If anybody out there knows of somebody in the UK who does make these, please get in touch and email us their details.

In the meantime one of the trustees of sfhfc has purchased a cat climber off Amazon and I have put this together tonight, with I have to say some help (or do I mean hinderance from a few of our residents). I will be posting a series of the helpers tomorrow.

I took this photo of Zoe last week while she sat on top of the sofa just behind me. I played around with a few apps changing the colour and contrast. I like the simpleness of the end result, I hope you do too. #Sfhfc #cat #cats #charity #sfhfc_zoe #catsofinstagram #catstagram #petstagram #catlovers #to_follow_everyone #graysgallery

This is Zoe and Rocky on one of the big scratch-posts at St Francis. I love Zoe's whiskers, I didn't realise they were as long as this and we are so pleased that Rocky is now mixing with our other residents a bit more .

trismac: Hi Zoe!!

cmantei: Looks comfy and cozy

Here is Zoe showing her disgust at @gray147 . I have just done a count on how many photo's of each of our resident are on IG. I have found that Zoe has been the least photographed, so I will be heading in her direction next time I'm there. To be fare to myself, she does sometimes spend a good amount of her time sleeping while curled up in one of her cat beds .

Yesterday when I nipped to St Francis I captured this photo of Zoe and Sylvester. This is often where you find Zoe when you first go in. I think she likes to be one of the first residents to know who has come to fuss and feed them .

It's another wet and dull day in the Midlands UK, so I think Zoe has the right idea by staying snug in on of the furry cat beds at St Francis.
