The Scruffs
Publisher: Scholastic
Lost the budgie; Itch the flea-friendly mutt; Elvis the chameleon; Gerb the Gerbil … They live in the rather ramshackle and seriously smelly Perfect Pet Shop. They are The Scruffs!
One day, pet shop owner Mr Straw arrives with a beautifully groomed cat. Ursula sleeps on a satin cushion. She doesn’t play grubby games. She doesn’t fit in. But when Lost flies out of the window, Ursula springs into action to rescue her from evil Tom Cat. The manicured moggie saves the day. And the budgie. So when Bunty, a poisonous little princess, wants to buy Ursula, the Scruffs will stop at nothing to save their new friend…
A funny, heartwarming story about a pampered puss who discovers friendship and fun for the first time - and gets covered in gerbil shavings, ice cream and rotten vegetables into the bargain.
