Meet Minty.

Minty, a six-month old kitten, was found by a member of the public in a derelict house in Hove.

We were very grateful that this kind individual saw Minty and took her in temporarily until our branch volunteers were able to bring her into the care of Cats Protection Brighton and Hove.

Minty was checked over by a vet and treated for fleas, vaccinated and dewormed. Luckily, with medical care and the kind attention of the member of public, Minty was none the worse for her difficult start in life.

Soon after coming into our care, Minty was able to relax and reveal her playful and loving nature, which we were so relieved to see.

At Cats Protection, we have seen the rate of abandoned cats and kittens increase by over 30% this year. Cats will never know why they’ve been abandoned. They only know the cold, fear and hunger, and that they’re far from home. But their journey doesn’t end there. Our expert team will get to know every abandoned cat so we can find their perfect owner and home, and ensure they’re healthy and ready to continue their journey.

We have launched this appeal to help us support more cats and kittens like Minty. Your support will provide the food, warmth and expert care that cats who we help need, until we find them a loving new home.

We receive no government funding and rely heavily on kind members of the public to support our work and allow us to help cats who are in life-threatening situations. Even a small gift can help abandoned cats and kittens, and every penny makes a difference.

We’re here for every cat’s journey, and for every owner who needs our advice and support.

Thank you.
