My story

On the 13th November I'll be standing on top of the 75ft tall self storage building at Ashton Gate, ready to abseil down it's lofty sides to raise money for the Bristol Dogs & Cats Home.

The home takes in stray and unwanted animals, and they also have a clinic for sick and injured animals. They receive no funding from the National RSPCA, lottery or government, so without people like you and me, they'd have to leave these animals out on the streets.

At any one time they are home to 120 dogs, 50 cats and more than 60 small animals; they have an annual food bill of £52,000; and their annual running costs are £1.6 million!

So please help me raise money so that these animals can be cared for until they find a new home - many of them have been abandoned, neglected or subjected to cruelty, and the clinic will provide them with whatever treatment they need before being transferred across to the Dogs & Cats Home for rehoming.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Bristol Dogs and Cats Home and RSPCA Bristol & District Branch

Charity Registration No. 205858

RSPCA Bristol & District Branch is made up of the RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic and Bristol Dogs and Cats Home. The RSPCA Animal Clinic treats over 12,000 animals a year and provides a 24 hour veterinary service for lost, sick and injured stray animals, subsidised veterinary treatment for people on a low income, a first aid centre for wildlife casualties and ‘well dog’ clinics for the animals of homeless people. <p> Bristol Dogs & Cats Home, an integral part of the RSPCA Bristol & District Branch, has been caring for stray, unwanted and neglected cats, dogs and small animals for over 120 years. The Home provides care, shelter and a re-homing service for nearly 2,000 unwanted animals every year and is often full to capacity! <p> With so many animals to care for our annual running costs exceed £1.4 million. The RSPCA Bristol Branch is an independent charity which receives no funding from the National RSPCA, Government or the Lottery. We therefore rely on the support from the community through donations, legacies and fundraising events to continue our important work, giving animals in need a second chance for a happy life, free from pain or neglect.

I don't like cats or dogs. Animals generally annoy me and I think they're pointless. I've been bullied into this and I'd like to complain.
