Our free neutering campaign is continuing into 2004

FREE NEUTERING FOR CATS

What better present could there be for your cat. Freedom from straying, fighting and endless unwanted pregnancies!!

 

Neutered cats are healthier, happier and more affectionate pets. Help to improve the quality of your cat's life and to reduce the number of unwanted kittens. These often go on to become un-neutered strays, increasing the problem of too many cats causing a nuisance in certain areas.

Neutering will be provided free of charge for both male and female cats belonging to owners who are on low income or cases of genuine financial hardship. Those on a low income wishing to obtain FREE NEUTERING for their cats should call us on 01256 892019

This is a campaign being run by the Branch to help the cats and cat owners of the area. If anyone would like to make a donation to help with this work please ring 01256 892019.

Two of “our” cats are dividing their time between their two homes, in the UK and in France. Princess & Figaro came into CP care in April 2002 when their family were in the process of selling & buying a new home. Problems arose and we were asked to re-home the cats. In late August Mrs Shirley LeGoubin offered the cats a home which would be spent between France & England. The cats then had medical tests, microchips & rabies vaccinations in order to obtain passports, enabling them to travel easily between their homes. Princess was re-named PACHA and the cats were handed over to Mrs LeGoubin on 11th Oct 2002.

The third annual Cat Walk, 7 September, was a great success, with excellent weather. The change of venue to St Mary Bourne was a good move, as many "casual" walkers, who had not already registered, turned up and took part. There were almost as many dogs as people - and all the canine walkers enjoyed their special reward for raising money for the cats!

The routes, which took in the St Mary Bourne lake, flat land along the bottom of the valley and excellent views after climbing up to the top of the valley, were considered to be very good. They were especially good for dogs, with stretches where they could run around to their hearts' content, off the lead.
