If you're lucky you might meet our most important family members:

Mitzi, Waffle and Mango, our rescue cats!

​

Mitzi (Mittens), who likes solitude, is the eldest at over 8 years old and you might find her lounging on the neighbour's shed.  She was found by the RSPCA at only a couple of months old, suffering with a broken leg.  After an operation (and a lot of pinning) it's healed up nicely.  Look closely and you might see a bit of a strange walk occasionally!

​

Waffle is the youngest, the smallest, the liveliest, and the one everyone falls in love with.  She had a serious eye infection before she came to us, but Team Cat Rescue funded the operation needed to remove the eye and she's been right as rain ever since.  She really doesn't let it stop her from doing anything, especially when it comes to chasing Nerf bullets!

​

Mango, our Ginger Tom, is a few months older than Waffle and was found by Team Cat Rescue, young and feral, in an abandoned factory in Nechells.  He doesn't like loud noises (or too much attention) but he's just about the most lovable, cuddly munchkin once you get to know!

​

As lovely as they are, please remember that cats don't like being chased, having their tails pulled or being picked up by strangers.  Feel free to pet them if they come to you, but please don't run after them.  The cats will not normally be allowed in the Tutor Room during sessions, but they do have access at other times.  Unfortunately, this does mean that Mrs BC's Tutor Room is an unsuitable environment for people with animal dander allergies.
