A MYSTERY time capsule has been buried in a new multi-million pound cats adoption centre in Wrexham.

Staff at the £2.1m Cats Protection Adoption Centre, decided to plant the time capsule to celebrate the soon-to-be completed project, which will be located where the old fire station on Bradley Road used to be.

Christine Gomperts, a cat care assistant and volunteer, Omi Reynolds, were joined by representatives from Pave Aways, the Wrexham-based construction firm building the new facility for Cats Protection.

Pave Aways managing director, Steven Owen, said: “The new adoption centre is a significant development for Cats Protection and the Wrexham area so commemorating this milestone with a time capsule was a great idea.

“The build is nearing completion and we can’t wait to hand it over so the first residents can be welcomed and start their journeys to a new home.”

The new adoption centre will be a state-of-the art facility where staff and volunteers can offer the highest standard of care to its feline residents, as well as increase the number of cats they will be able to take in and rehome.

However, cat lovers will have to wait until the year 2069 to discover what was buried within the capsule at the new adoption centre.

Suzan Kennedy, centre manager, said: “We are not revealing what has gone into the time capsule as we want it to remain a surprise for the generation that gets the chance to dig it up.”

The new centre is centrally-located on the former site of the North Wales Fire and Rescue station, which was built in the 1950’s but was closed down in 2016 when the service moved to a nearby multi-million pound facility.

Cats Protection will continue to operate at its current site in Madeira Hill until the new centre is completed.
