To encourage the neutering of all cats & kittens not required for breeding.
To inform the public on the care of cats & kittens.
Begun in 1927 we are the oldest & largest feline charity in the
UK. Cats Protection homes over 70,000 cats each year.
The organisation maintains 14 headquarters shelters and 250 voluntary
branches throughout the UK, stretching from the Shetland Islands in the
north to Truro in the South West.
Ninety per cent of the charity’s rescue work is carried out by 5000
volunteers
Cats Protection helps 165,000 cats.
CP's volunteers put in six million hours per year caring for cats and
handle 75,000 calls from the public every month.
Our branch is run totally by volunteers.
The more people we have to help spreads the workload & makes it possible
for us to help even more cats.
Many of our volunteers work on a rota basis. If you wish to contact us please
phone our help-line; 01224 749568 & you will get the correct number
for who is on that week.
We also have a charity shop at 96 King Street open Mon.-Fri. 10am-4pm
& Sat 10am-2pm, tel; 01224 634894.
Donations of books, bric-a-brac, good quality clothes & unwanted gifts
are always welcome.
