Llys Nini

The beginning of December was bitterly cold in South Wales but luckily that did not stop a number of fishermen indulging in their favourite pastime on a lake just outside Llanelli. As they fished they noticed a couple of men looking a little suspicious. The men appeared to put something into a sack, which they tied up and threw into the lake.

Curious, one of the anglers managed to retrieve the sack just as it was sinking, brought it to shore and opened it. He found a six month old kitten, wet and frightened. He took the kitten home, dried it off and warmed it up before calling the RSPCA to collect it.

"Rosie" was brought into the Llys Nini Animal Centre, for some tender loving care and an opportunity to find a new home.

Unluckily there was insufficient evidence to trace those guilty of this act of cruelty, but luckily for "Rosie" she was fostered by one of the Centre's volunteers, who has decided to give her a new home and a new name. Rosie has become Tegi - named after the monster reputedly living in Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) in North Wales. Why the name change? We are told that Tegi is very apt as she was pulled from a lake and is a little monster. Needless to say that she is very happy and has settled in well. Although she is giving her new "big sister" Gizmo  very little peace.
