The nations cat's need you!

Hi everyone! I’m Eleanor, and firstly I’d like to thank you for showing an interest in my blog on the Cats’ Protection. The Cats’ Protection is a charity that aims to look after, and home, cats that have been brought in, found, or are unwanted. They are based in the UK and have 29 adoption centres nationwide. Most of the staff are volunteers that give up their free time to help the nation’s cats. I feel that we should all do what we can to help the CP, as they do a lot of work to help cats. If it weren’t for the generous people who have donated their money, time, and effort to help, many more cats will have been treated cruelly, left to starve, abandoned, and left homeless. Here are some facts and figures showing what the Cats’ Protection has done over the years:

1. They have over 7, 000 cats or kittens in their care at any one time
2. They rehome and reunite 55, 000 cats every year
3. They help to neuter 160,000 cats per year
4. They have around 7,000 active volunteers
5. They have over 250 branches run by volunteers nationwide

There was one story of a car that was about to be crushed, and just before it was due, some kittens were found in a box inside the car. If these unfortunate kittens had not been found they would have been crushed with the car. Thankfully, they weren’t left and were given to the CP.

But the CP doesn’t just help the cats in the adoption centres, they also provide free neutering for those who can’t afford it, so their cats won’t produce more kittens. There are enough unwanted cats in the UK; we don’t want to add to it. Unwanted kittens are a great problem as some cruel owners might leave them to fend for themselves or drown them. The lucky ones that are taken to places like the CP are taking up time, a cat cabin, and money which could have otherwise been put to a better use. So as you can see, neutering your cat greatly improves cat welfare.
Here is another impact that your consideration has on the cats in the adoption centres:

£3 can help pay for vital supplies such as food and vaccinations
£5 can contribute towards a kitten’s initial heath check with a vet
£10 can help pay for urgent veterinary care and life-saving medicines
£15 can feed one abandoned cat every month
£20 can pay for one cat to be neutered.

Thanks for reading my blog, and I would be very grateful if you would answer these few questions using the comments box:

1. Did you know about the CP (Cats’ Protection) before reading this blog?
2. What were your opinions on the CP before and after reading this blog?
3. Would you now consider being or volunteer or donating to the charity?
4. Would you now adopt a cat from the CP?

Thanks for your time, and I hope you will help the CP in future,

Eleanor.
