Cats Protection- Nine Lives, One Chance, One Charity Don’t trust a smile- trust a purr!

Hello, my name Chloe and I am campaigning to help the Cats Protection League. Thank you very much for showing an interest in my blog. Helping cats around Britain to have a happier life is something that I feel very strongly about! Only a hand full of people will know about the suffering that many cats and kittens go through. After you have read my blog I hope that you will know a bit more about the charity, and feel like you would want to help in any way possible! Remember- The human is the only creature that uses a smile as an emotional response, which means that even though a cat is smiling it does not mean it is happy! Don’t trust a smile, trust a purr!

This is the story of Stewie the cat (This is a real story). Stewie was handed in to the Cats Protection centre in Nottingham. He was with his mum and his three other siblings in a small cardboard box. He was affectionate and wouldn’t mind it when somebody tried to pick him up, so that meant that he had a home. But the man who handed them in said that they were strays. It was likely that the man had owned the mother, but when she gave birth he could not afford to keep all 5 of the cats.

Stewie needed urgent medical care; otherwise he wouldn’t make it through the night. The operation that he needed was expensive, and it wasn’t 100% likely to keep him alive, but it was a small flicker of hope for the desperate kitten. The Cats Protection paid for all of his operations, and even though it was a small chance of survival they still went on. After weeks of touch and go, he pulled through and now has a fighting chance of a happy adulthood.

If it wasn’t for the Cats Protection, Stewie would have died that same day that he was handed in. And if it wasn’t for the donations from the public then the Cats Protection wouldn’t have been able to fork out the money for the much needed operations. It only takes £15for a Cats Protection cat to be fed 2 good meals a day. And any donations towards operations, food and shelter could literally mean life or death for a cat.
