Tigger and Gizmo
3:45pm Friday 23rd November 2007
EVERY week, we feature a pet who is looking for a loving home. This week's candidates come from Cats Protection Swindon.
Tigger and Gizmo are mother and son at eight and six years old respectively.
Tigger is the most friendly boy imaginable, but came to us with a growth on his side.
This has been removed and the vets have given him the all clear, but it was invasive and there can be no guarantee that it will not grow back. If, however, there are any health problems with Tigger related to this growth, then we will take responsibility for any treatment required.
They are a handsome pair of tabbies who deserve to have a home of their own - can you give them that home?
If you can, please ring 01793 644536 and leave your details on the answerphone, alternatively you can email cats@swindoncp.co.uk or visit www.swindoncp.co.uk
If you would like to talk to someone from Swindon Cats Protection, we have two Christmas Bazaars coming up and would love to meet you. They are on Saturday, December 1 from 10.30am to 3pm at Lawns Community Centre, off Windsor Road, and on Saturday, December 15 at the Council Rooms in Highworth from 10am to 2pm.
Remember When...
Appeal for memories from works' office
A HISTORIAN is hoping the public can offer more information about the Swindon railway works for his latest book.
Family born into a life of slavery
Celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott was faced with an emotional dilemma in a recent episode of the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? Having traced one line of his ancestry to great-great-great grandmother, Catherine Smith, born into slavery in 1831, he then discovered a shocking piece of evidence. A different branch of his family tree led to great-great-grandfather James Gordon Harriott, white man and slave owner.
Exhibits give us a glimpse of glories
In my previous article I mentioned that a pageant took place in 1925 to celebrate 100 years of the railway. The GWR had to mock up the North Star to show off its history. However, after the pageant there was much talk about saving some locos for future generations to enjoy.
