WITH THE HUGE NUMBER OF CATS THAT WE HELP EACH
WEEK FOOD AND LITTER ARE MAJOR EXPENSES.
MANY KIND PEOPLE COLLECT FOOD FOR US, EITHER BY BUYING AN EXTRA TIN EACH
SHOPPING TRIP OR BY ACTING AS A COLLECTION CENTRE IN THEIR AREA
IF YOU HAVE UNWANTED
COLLECTIBLES, JEWELLERY OR CERAMICS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION WE MAY BE
ABLE TO RAISE EXTRA FUNDS BY SELLING THEM ON E-BAY.
This year from the 1st
Jan until 9th November, we have paid for 1018 veterinary
treatments. Covering everything from Ear ops, scans, diabetic
treatments, bloods, dentals, road traffic accidents, many of which
were un neutered males that were wandering, air gun pellets op,
neutering, and much more. All this has cost us a total of £51,339
just for veterinary fees alone, on top of which there is food,
litter, flea and worm treatments, and other necessities that go with
caring for the cats we look after. Being a registered charity, every
“penny” has to be accounted for. We therefore constantly have to
keep the donations, not only money, but goods for the shop and for
fundraising events coming in from our kind supporters. We can always
arrange for saleable items to be collected, although we cannot
accept very large items of furniture, due to lack of storage space.
As with all non profit making groups we need cash. You can donate, leave
a legacy or join us.
FRIENDS can help with the day to day running costs of looking after the
poorly cats. For a small ANNUAL fee you will receive 3 newsletters per
year and
know that local cats are benefitting.

You can make your donations with Jenny on 01522-788597
or complete the
form on 'STANDING ORDER FORM'
page, print and send it in together with
your donation.
Of course we also need all of those unwanted gifts, jewellery, good
quality bric'a'brac & clothes to turn into funds and we can usually
collect if transport is a problem or you can drop them into our shop.
Last but not least is time. This is probably the most valuable as it
can't be bought and all the funds in the world are of little use without
the volunteers who help the cats.
If you'd like any information at all contact anyone on the
