IT'S BEEN a busy year for Maureen Fieldsend - she has rehoused more than 180 cats and kittens from her home in Penistone.

She transformed her garage into Penistone Cat Rescue in 2007 and has been taking on unwanted moggies ever since.

Maureen, of West Acre, Penistone, rehomed her last kitten before Christmas. But she says it is getting harder to find loving homes because of the credit crunch.
