It's that time when we'd usually be holding our Christmas Fair but for a second year this is unfortunately not possible. Instead, we're doing an exciting online Christmas raffle! 🎅😺

To be in with the chance of winning the purrfect Christmas Hampurr,  please follow the instructions below and buy a raffle ticket or two, all while helping cats in the process! 

Raffle tickets cost £1 each and to enter online there is a minimum payment of £2 (this is JustGiving's minimum donation amount and we can't change it) so you will receive two entries to the raffle draw. 

Raffle tickets can be purchased online until the draw on our Facebook page at midday on Sunday 19 December 2021!

How to enter: 

Simply make a donation on this page and JustGiving will send the funds directly to the charity. 

We will enter your name and ticket numbers into our raffle draw automatically; if you require a digital ticket, please let us know. You will receive an email if you are a winner. 

Tickets cost £1 each. Every £2 donation = two entries. You can also purchase 5 tickets for £5 or 10 tickets for £10.

• Please ensure that you provide an email address otherwise we cannot get in touch with you if you win.
