The practice also has a lovely young white male cat which is deaf but is very good-natured. He is seeking a new, loving home, as is a six-month-old ginger male. Anyone who would like more information should contact Clare Vets at Ballynure Road, Ballyclare on 9332 2223.
Larne Animal Support and Protection group is urging pet owners in Larne to be extra vigilant after the recent disappearance of a number of cats.
Over the last few months, six cats have gone missing from the Huntersbuoy area. Two have died in the Sallagh Park area, possibly from poisoning and two have gone missing from the upper area of Ferris Park. Anyone who lives in a rural area and has found a cat recently is urged to contact ASAP on 07772083731.
The group is also hoping that a reader can help reunite a little black female cat with her owner. She has a few distinctive white hairs on her chest. The little cat was found at the Standing Stone and may be someone's pet.

TO those detractors who maintain that Larne is no oil painting, I beg to differ. Not that I could offer the picture reproduced here as documentary evidence.
This rather romantic View Of Larne (left) is by WB Fleming, RBA (Royal Society of British Artists) and Ross's Auction Rooms, Belfast, who are selling the oil on canvas, reckon it was probably painted around 1870.
Even Nemo isn't old enough to remember what Larne looked like in 1870 and my own view of the town is from very much the opposite vantage point out here at The Maidens, but I can't help but think Fleming deployed a considerable degree of artistic licence, unless 137 years ago Larne really was little more than a stone's throw from the west coast of Scotland, as his painting implies.
Maybe that's why there's no indication of the harbour development that was in progress at the time. Who would have needed ferries when that gap could have been bridged with ease?
Never mind. The painting, which measures 30 inches by 40 inches, will be offered at Ross's next sale of Irish art on Wednesday, December 5.

HOW far does the esteem of the Times extend? At least as far as east Belfast, it appears from my reading of the Hansard account of debate in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Local MLA and MP Sammy Wilson was concerned that there was no mention of the Dublin-financed A8 dualling scheme in finance Minister Peter Robinson's draft budget last week.
In reply, Mr Robinson told his party colleague that the project is included in the draft investment strategy.
And he told the Assembly, "Happily therefore, he (Mr Wilson) will be able to get into the East Antrim Times to tell people that progress is going to be made."
To which Mr Wilson said, "And I will give the minister the appropriate praise."
Ahem! Thanks for the plug, chaps, but in the interest of freedom of the press I must point out that the content of the newspaper is entirely a matter of editorial discretion and shouldn't be taken for granted.
Even flattery doesn't guarantee coverage. Well, maybe this time.

CHIEF engineer William Bald's name is inextricably linked with the construction of the Antrim Coast Road from Larne to Ballycastle between 1832-42, to the extent that the Bald Stone, near the Black Arch, commemorates his achievement.
However, Larne man Hugh Giffen reckons a member of his family could also claim to be a leading figure in the mammoth project.
As a boy, Hugh was often told by family members that a relative had built the road.
"When you're a youngster you think they're just stories and you think nothing of it," he said.
It was while researching the family history in the public records office in Belfast that he uncovered information that changed his mind.
Hugh discovered documentary evidence that Samuel Bigger Giffen (1789-1879), a surveyor and road contractor from Carnmoney, had such an important role in the scheme that the route was known in the family as Uncle Sam's Road.
A cousin is said to have acted as guarantor for a £100,000 investment in the project.
Can Maidens View readers provide any more information about Uncle Sam's Road? Was Hugh's great-uncle the contractor, perhaps, or an investor, or both?

STILL on things historic, I've been told that extensive footage of the Titantic in its final resting place more than two miles below the surface of the north Atlantic can now be viewed as part of a new BBC Northern Ireland Learning website.
The footage, filmed for a BBC Newsline special by Mike McKimm in 2005, forms part of a comprehensive site telling the story of the famous Belfast-built ship.
The website, Titanic Journey, bbc.co.uk/titanic, provides an extensive guide to the ship, the disaster and the science behind Mike's once-in-a-lifetime dive to where the ship has lain since 1912.
Aimed at schools, university students and anyone with an interest in Titanic, it gives browsers the chance to navigate through Mike's journey from St. John's, Newfoundland, and his voyage on board the Russian-owned 'Keldysh' - the world's biggest ocean research vessel. They can then experience the 12,900ft dive to the wreck, the exploration of the Titanic on the seabed – including the breathtaking view of the bow - resurfacing and meeting a relative of one of the local men who died on that fateful night.
Users are also encouraged to add their own footage, stories and articles to the website in the 'Ship's Log' section where they can also store their favourite elements of the site to create their own Titanic projects. And there is also a trivia quiz to test their knowledge of what they've browsed.
In each section, a catalogue of interesting facts and links to a host of associated information and figures and footage from BBC and external sites are also available to complete the extensive site.
