CATS PROTECTION

Like most Branches we have a number of cats who, for various reasons are not suitable for re-homing. This might be because of illness, age or temperament. These cats stay in long-term foster care and we operate a Sponsorship Scheme where, for a small donation, people can sponsor one (or more!) of these cats. The sponsorship money helps towards the food and veterinary bills for the cats.

Details of some of the sponsor cats are given below. If you would like to join the Sponsorship Scheme, please contact our Sponsorship Secretary

Sponsorship Scheme

ERROL

Known as "Errol the Feral", he is approximately 6 years old. He was continually found in the trap at a local army camp when we were carrying out a "feral campaign". His persistence was rewarded and he was taken to a place of safey in a foster home, where he rules the roost.

FELIX

Felix is approximately 9 years old. He was found living wild in a garrison town and liked no-one and nothing. He was trapped as he was annoying the local cats. Resisting initial overtures of friendship he was allowed to live in a long-term foster home, where he is now happy and has adjusted to the other cats.

 

JESSICA

Jessie is a about 8 years old and she came into the care of CP after a "trap, neuter and return" programme. 12 weeks old when trapped, Jessie was very wild and did not tame down. She therefore went to a long-term foster home where she was adopted by a feline "mum" and "dad".

SUNDANCE

A black and white short-haired male, about 7 years old, Sundance came into our care because his owner was being evicted. He had not been handled and was very timid. He therefore spent a long time in a cat colony before being relocated to one of our foster homes, where he now lives happily with the other cats.
