'Even our cats that aren't really keen on interactions were coming up and sitting next to people and listening to them read. It was lovely to see the cats snuggling in to the books.'
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, children and adults from across the county sat down for some quiet reading time with the four-legged residents at Shropshire Cat Rescue in Bayston Hill.
"It was lovely to see the cats snuggling in to the books – and these are the cats that usually when there's more people, it gets too much for them." Teachers from participating schools praised the idea – and some said that they'd never heard some of their students read before, which proved to volunteers how valuable it was.
They are also looking for more volunteers to help them on select days in the month when events are held and have asked anyone who might be interested to get in touch.
