How We Can Help You

Neutering Costs - If you are on a low income or finding it difficult to find the money to cover the cost of spaying your cat we can help you. Having your cat neutered is being a responsible owner. Male cats do not wander as far once they have been neutered, and females are safe from unwanted pregnancies, which in turn helps keep the number of unwanted kittens down taking a little bit of the strain off of Cats Protection.

Aftercare - Some people find it difficult to care for their cat should they need to administer tablets, eye drops or change bandages. We are able to offer advice and possibly help you when needed to look after your cat ensuring it receives the medication or care it needs. We also offer nail clipping and grooming.

Talk - One of our volunteers is available to visit various groups, schools, Brownie packs etc in the local area – often accompanied by one of our homeless cats – to give a talk about the work of our Branch and how to be a great cat-owner. Various subjects including health care, feeding, grooming, aspects of cat behaviour and problem-solving are covered and talks are geared to the nature of the audience and time available .

Microchipping - ensures that if your cat is found, we are able to locate you quickly and you can be reunited. We have many strays brought in to us who never find their owners as they have no microchip. Collars can be removed or lost but a microchip is there for life. This is a valuable investment and doesn’t cost a lot of money, identification is quick and easy. Contact your vet for details.

General Advice - If you are concerned about your cats welfare and want advice, literature or just a chat about owning or caring for a cat, give us a ring. We are always happy to help.
