Dear Editor
Unfortunately two weeks ago our lovely little cat got shot in the leg by an air rifle in Lavendon and his leg was shattered into 11 pieces so they could not repair it, only amputate it at Willow vets.
We have spoken to the police and the RSPCA and they have said that as it is an isolated case they cannot do anything about it so we want to find out if there have been any other cats that have been shot at in the area?
Not to mention it has cost us over £760 to get him fixed up as he was not insured.

Are You a Full Time or Part Time Carer?
Many people in Olney are full or part- time carers to parents, spouses or children. Until now the nearest support group has been in Milton Keynes and whilst this provides an excellent service, sometimes carers just can’t spare the time to go that far.
A new carers’ support group is starting in Olney. It will be working alongside the Milton Keynes Group, in fact sharing their expertise and personnel but it will provide a local service, easier to get to and no time wasted in travelling.
The group will be meeting in the Olney Centre (in room 1) on the first Thursday of every month, starting on Thursday 3rd June. It will be meeting between 2pm and 4pm but carers can pop in at any point in that 2 hours and stay for as long or as short a time as they wish. Tea, coffee and biscuit will be provided and the whole service is free.
This gives carers a support structure; meeting other people in the same situation as themselves, people with the same problems, the same concerns. It is a chance to offer and seek advice, to receive information, to find out how to get expert help, to discuss entitlements or benefits or quite simply, just to have someone to talk to, someone who understands.
If you are a carer and you just fancy a chat or a break then please come and join us at the Olney Centre – June 3rd at 2 – 4pm.
