NEEDED

OUR MOST URGENT NEED IS FOR FOSTERERS. WE WILL SUPPLY AND ERECT A PEN OR TWO, PAY FOR ANY VET'S BILLS, FOOD, LITTER AND OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. ALL YOU NEED TO GIVE IS LOVE AND AFFECTION TO THESE CATS UNTIL THEIR FUTURE IS ASSURED AND WE CAN FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEM.

We are always looking for fosterers. We need fosterers who are prepared to have a chalet or chalets erected in their garden, indoor fosterers to foster in a spare room and short term kitten fosterers also to foster indoors. It would also be helpful to have emergency fosterers prepared to foster for short periods of time during emergencies and holidays .

SHORT TERM KITTEN FOSTERERS The photograph is of kitten fosterers Nesta and John with just two of their tiny charges - both kittens pictured have gone on to loving homes.

If you would enjoy being an INDOOR FOSTERER you need a spare room and everything else is provided apart from the loving care and attention given by you.

Pictured below is an example of two chalets in a fosterer's garden.

WOOL We welcome donations of wool, double if possible, for our ladies who knit and crochet blankets for the cats in care. We are fortunate to have 2 ladies, Jackie and Carol, who make knitted toys from donated wool. The toys are displayed by Zorica in her beauty salon where clients make donations for the toys. If you would like to donate wool, make cat blankets or knitted toys for the Branch please email yeovilcatsprotection@tiscali.co.uk or phone the Branch line on 01935 412755.

Here are some of the knitted toys displayed in Zorica's salon.

DONATIONS OF CAT FOOD

The Branch welcomes donations of cat and kitten food both wet and dry. We can also supply attractive donation bins measuring 25" high by 14.5" wide for shops. If you know of a shop or company willing to host a collection bin please email the branch at yeovilcatsprotection@tiscali.co.uk or phone the Branch line on 10935 412755.

HOME MADE CAKES

If you would like to join the Catering Corps and make cakes to be sold at our Fairs held during the year (see Events page) please email yeovilcatsprotection@tiscali.co.uk or phone the Branch line on 01935 412755.

All our Volunteers are highly valued and without them the Branch would not be able to help the many needy cats and kittens in our area.

HELP WITH NEUTERING

IF ANYONE IS ON A LOW INCOME AND IS RECEIVING A STATE BENEFIT, WE CAN ASSIST WITH THE COST OF NEUTERING YOUR CAT OR CATS BY ISSUING A VOUCHER THAT WILL COVER APPROXIMATELY HALF THE COST. CATS CAN SO EASILY GET OUT OF HAND IF THEY ARE LEFT TO DO WHAT CATS DO VERY WELL AND MANY CATS ARE PUT TO SLEEP OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LOVING OWNER. CONTACT US ON THE BRANCH PHONE FOR THE TELEPHONE NUMBER OF OUR NEUTERING OFFICER . PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH HQ CAT CARE STANDARDS, WE HAVE A STRICT NON DESTRUCT POLICY AND CATS STAY WITH US UNTIL WE FIND THEM THE HOME THEY DESERVE.
