It’s that time of year again and we wanted to do something fun and festive for our wonderful supporters and so we are back with our Christmas prize competition.

To be in with the chance of winning a £150 Specsavers voucher, large cat tree and cat lovers hamper, follow the instructions below to enter our Christmas competition, all while helping cats in our care.

Cats like 2-year-old Ritchie, who came into our care in August after being handed into a local vets, as a stray with a large cat bite abscess on the side of his face. When Ritchie first arrived at the NI Cat Centre, staff were shocked at the size of his wound, which needed to be left open to properly heal. During his treatments we also discovered Ritchie was FIV positive, meaning his forever home will need to be an indoor one with plenty of enrichment to keep him entertained. Ritchie had to undergo an array of treatments to get him ready for his forever home, but all the while, he maintained his inquisitive nature and desire for attention from all the staff at the centre.

For every £1, you will receive one entry to the competition. There is a minimum transaction of £2 by Just Giving, which we cannot change, so for every £2, you will receive two entries to the draw.
