Cold At Christmas

Over the past couple of years, the North East has been hit with some horrendous weather which has weakened our cattery roof. This now desperately needs to be replaced before the weather worsens as we head towards the Christmas period.

Story

The plastic roofing which shields our cats outdoor areas been has cracked and snapped due to years of bad weather over the winter months. We now desperately need to replace it to keep our cats and kittens dry and warm.

Our Benton shelter has 64 pens which are currently full of lost, unwanted, abandoned and neglected cats and kittens. We have 25 pens on our maternity suite which is full of young, fragile kittens who need to be kept warm and dry to keep them healthy and give them the best start to life.

It is incredibly important that each of our cat pens has a sheltered outdoor area for our cats to get some fresh air as many of them need their time outside to keep them happy and healthy.

The cattery roof is going to cost £6,000 to replace so we are appealing for donations to help us pay for this essential repair.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit us hard, as it has many people. We appreciate not everyone has disposable income to spare but even a £1 donation would make a huge difference.

Thank you for your support.
