These pampered pooches live in a gated retirement village for elderly cats and while away their days - in mini cottages.

The charity currently houses 17 cats, which have been given up - or found stray in their later years - and now enjoy life in the 'Moggies Retirement Village'.

The cats enjoy the cushty life with volunteers take time to look after them and even get local kids to read to them once a month.

Shropshire Cat Rescue in Shrewsbury, Shrops., takes in homeless, stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens and organises veterinary care for feral felines in the area.

A video of the gated community shows the mini cottages - surrounded by well-kepy gardens - where the cats are housed.

Each house contains a bed, a litter tray, food and drink bowls and various toys for up to two cats.
