We…read morehave had two cats from them - a seven month old and an older ex-stray, and are about to get a third. The cats are checked over by a vet and treated for any health problems, vaccinated, neutered and micro-chipped, and if you have any questions or need any advice there is always someone at the end of a phone to help you. I have been dealing with them for about 8 years now and would recommend anyone seeking a cat to visit the centre, where you will find a cat who is seeking you!

After the delight that was…read moremany of my friends and colleagues creating or expanding their families (better) the seasons are changing and as we move out of Winter into Spring and hopefully balmier climates, talk has turned on where's a nice and safe place to take the kids that isn't pure saccharine wacky zany child fun, and is parent and friends of parent friendly, eg, friends of parents won't balk at the idea of spending time with the kidlets because it's "just too much fun(!)" Anyhoo, an excellent compromise or combination, of green, flowers, pretty, play areas, etc is Pudsey Park. My idea to take friends kidlets here stemmed from the glowing reports this park has. Prior job projects included something on open spaces in West Yorkshire, and Pudsey Park comes in top of the list with regards to awards and such. It's been a Green Flag award winner every year since 2003, a worthy acheivement. The park is always clean, and I've never had any trouble, plus in half term and Summer holidays, there's plenty of families about, which is nice for the kids to play about, without being too loud and annoying for anyone enjoying the park sans child. So what's to do here? If you enter the park at the Car Park side, you'll immediately notice the playground, and there's a basketball court, and a skate park. Wandering through there's a bowling green, flower gardens, a glass house filled with exotic plants and a pets corner and aquarium and aviary. For replenishments there's also a little cafe too. At the moment the park is undergoing some regeneration, so there are some major developments going on, and the structure and layout of the park is changing. But when it's all done and dusted it should be even better than ever.

I'm feeling the love for all things slightly off centre. No I'm not having another Mel meltdown, I…read moremean I'm quite liking exploring the deeper depths of our beloved Leeds and it's Pudsey. Since I'm on a park ting (getting all street again, word up), I thought it'd be rude not to look this bad boy up. Now most of the parks have been reasonable to good it has to be said but this one is a perfectly formed package. It should shout about itself, it's a Greenflag winner and has been on many occasions. That's probably because it's very well maintained and has loads of stuff for the kids. Pet's corner is a nice touch and they keep on reconstructing areas left, right and centre so it's only going to get better. You've got exotic fish and birds and a tropical greenhouse. So get your best silly hat and cargo shorts out and go jungle trekking in your own back yard. There are plenty of flowers and tree lined walks. Plus, skate park, green bowls and a bandstand. Altogether with some air trumpet now.

Feral Cat Welfare was set up in March 2010 by two people who were volunteers of the Adel and…read moreDistrict Branch of Cats Protection for many years until it was closed by the National Cat Centre in January 2010. They were concerned about what would become of the feral and stray cats that Adel Branch had been committed to supporting, those that had been neutered and returned to site with the promise of help with feeding and veterinary care should it be required. They were also concerned about the timid/feral strays that are often turned away by others due to the length of time it takes to build up their trust and turn them into friendly, homeable pets. Feral Cat Welfare does not have a shelter or main centre but relies on a network of fosterers who care for cats and kittens at their own homes until new homes can be found. They hope to raise enough funds over a period of time to create a permanent refuge for such cats so that they can be helped quickly and numbers do not increase. The volunteers of FCW love all cats, the friendly and the nervous, and tune in to every cat's individual needs. FCW will always have tame, friendly and affectionate cats to rehome and on their waiting list as well as timid and traumatized cats and kittens.

Unfortunately my voyeuristic interest in pets of the slimy and scaly variety is all too often spoilt by a shop that keeps its animals in cramped or unhygienic conditions (yes, I know it's not a zoo, but still...). Happily, I encountered no such problems at Tyrannosaurus Pets, an 'exotic' pet store that stocks lizards, snake and amphibians. Quite aside from having one of the best pet shop names ever, this shop is a credit to its trade with a shiny, modern shop floor; helpful, knowledgeable staff and - most importantly - spacious, clean vivariums filled with content animals. When I visited I was quite open about the fact I'd just come for a gawp, but the staff treated me as if I was a paying customer, and told me lots of stuff about the logistics of keeping lizards and snakes that I'd never heard before, despite pet shop loitering being something of a habit of mine. If you're thinking of buying an unusual pet or already own one and need to stock up on accessories, this is the only place you should need to go in Leeds.
