We are John and Lorraine, we live in beautiful small village in the North Yorkshire Dales, England. Tel: 01677 470854 Most of our independent adult lives has been centred around the welfare and rescue of both cats and dogs which includes owning and working in related professions. Lorraine has been involved in the rescue and welfare of cats for 30 years (ouch) Although her working career involved accounting and auditing, in most part, she always had a very active involvement with the feline community, working with the Cats Protection League for a few years as well as voluntary work for the RSPCA. Most of the cat rescue and welfare over the years has been done as a private commitment fully funded by herself. Many hundreds of cats have been found or handed in abandoned, injured, or some way neglected and have been nursed back to health, neutered, vaccinated then re homed to permanent homes. A move in career working at a Veterinary Surgery was her most enjoyable employment. 1995 came the move from the South of England to the North. she has continued her rescue work and spent some years studying for a Bachelor of Science in animal related subjects. The areas of exam pass have been - Animal Biology, Micro Biology, Brain - Form, Function and Behaviour, Animal Physiology, The Immune System, Histology, Living Processes, Genetics, Evolution, Human Health and Disease, Society and Social Science, The Human Genome Project. In the last year of her course she decided to take a break and concentrate on the Forest Cat research. Courses will be resumed at a later date to complete the degree. In her spare time Lorraine is a web designer as well as proprietor of a small business making quality leather cat harnesses and leads, designer Swarovski Crystal Cat Collars and she also has a keen interest in the purchase and sale of quality gemstone jewellery. Cats have always been a very important part and away of life for Lorraine from a very young age - and will always continue to be so. Some of the cats and kittens rescued over the years can be seen on the link below. Rescue Cats This page is under construction Another hobby is Jaguar Cars and being a member of the Jaguar Drivers Club.
John has trained, worked and shown dogs from a very early age. His love of dogs inspired his working career as a Police Dog Handler with the Civilian Police Force, moving on to become a Specialist Search Dog Handler with the Ministry of Defence. After many years he wanted to work for himself with his own dogs. He became a Security Officer for Virgin Records and London Weekend Television and a Personal Bodyguard to wealthy Arab Businessmen, Kate Bush, Tom Bell, Roald Dahl and many other dignitaries. Another change in Career came when the Dangerous Dogs Act Enforcement Legislation came in. This was when he became a Dog Warden for a Local Authority and qualified as an Animal Health Inspector amongst other things. John is now a fully fledged cat man too :-).
