Cats Protection

http://www.cats.org.uk

Formed way back in 1927, Cats Protection has grown to become the UK's leading feline welfare charity. This charity now rehome and reunite 55,000 cats and kittens every year, through their network of over 250 voluntary-run branches and 29 adoption centres. In addition to this, the Cats Protection also offer loads of vital advice and information to the general public through publications, their website and their National helpline.

The Cats Protection are also working towards reducing the amount of unwanted cats across the UK. This valuable work takes places through neutering schemes. As well as educating people on the importance of neutering, they can also help towards the cost if you are on a means tested benefit. Cats should ideally be neutered from 4 months of age onwards. Often people don't realise just how early a cat can become pregnant, leaving it too late and ending up with a cat who is still a kitten themselves, carrying kittens.

If you are planning on getting a cat, then I would highly recommend that you consider adopting one (or two for company, often two cats can be better if you are out at work etc) from the Cats Protection. It is heartbreaking to think of all the unwanted cats and kittens in the world and by rehoming just one (or two!) you will genuinely be making a difference.

Why not consider an older cat, so many people want kittens yet there are so many older cats with a wealth of love to give. These animals usually find themselves in need of rehoming through no fault of their own and just want a secure and happy home filled with love. The joy that they will bring to your life is incomparable.

Even if you just want advice, please do have a chat with the Cats Protection. They can give you all the information that you need to keep your cat safe, healthy and happy. If you don't have much experience of cats then talking to the experts may be just what you need.

Finally, please remember that Cats Protection are a charity and as such, rely upon donations. No matter whether you can make a regular monthly donation, or a small one off one (of course, the larger the better!), they will be grateful and you will be assisting then to carry out the invaluable work that they do. Please, please donate today!
