The Sheffield Cats Shelter is a small, local charity which has helped to rehome cats and kittens since 1897. We never put a healthy cat to sleep. We receive no lottery or state aid and are solely funded through the generous contributions of our supporters, voluntary donations and legacies.

Story

Do you ever experience moments when your mouth goes into action before your brain kicks in? About a month ago I had one such moment, in a meeting, (minuted!) I blurted out: 'Ah Sheffield 10K on the morning of our 125th anniversary celebrations - why dont we enter a team? I'll run it!'

To put this hairbrained moment into context I'm the wrong side of both 50 years old and 11 stone in weight and I rarely have a spare moment! On the positive side I did learn to run (without my lungs exploding) in my late forties when I had a bash at the couch to 5k craze. In my entire life I've run 5km approximately five times, very slowly!

I wonder if there are any other mad fools out there who would love to raise some funds for the kitties and join me in my hare-brained adventure? Anyone else fancy running?  

Wearing kitty ears and a fluffy tail (or even our Travis mascot costume) is optional, but encouraged!

Please help me raise £1250 for the Shelter in our 125th Anniversary year.  I'd love to think our amazing charity, that I'm so proud to be a part of, can continue to care for Sheffield Cats for another 125 years and beyond!
