The cost-of-living crisis means more cats need a place that feels like home with many owners no longer able to afford to care for their pets or take in a cat from our care.

This means our waiting list is longer than ever, and many more cats are being abandoned. Cats like Hope.

Hope was brought to Cats Protection at five months old after she almost starved to death after eating 21 discarded hairbands. She was extremely poorly, and it was unclear whether Hope would survive.

Hope's story has a happy ending, but hundreds of other cats and kittens count on us to help give them the love and care they deserve.

Please give today to help fill a cat's pen with everything they need to feel at home with us at Cats Protection Mansfield this winter; from nutritious food to bedding, blankets and toys. Your contribution will make a difference to cats and kittens in your local area. Thank you.
