Friends Of The Cats is a small independent cat rescue based in Accrington, Lancashire. Because we concentrate our efforts on the most needy cats - the injured stray, the pregnant feral - every cat that we take in tends to cost a great deal of money to treat and rehabilitate, cats like kitten Clover, pictured, who came to us in life-threatening condition after suffering some kind of attack. This has been the case even more so recently as we've had an unprecedented run of cats needing very expensive treatment. We won't turn a cat away on grounds of cost and we would never allow a cat to be put to sleep because their treatment would cost too much. Despite us being allowed very generous discounts from our vets, Vets4pets and Mearleys, our vet bill at the time of writing is in excess of £4,000. Much though we hate constantly asking for money from our very generous friends and supporters, unfortunately it is necessary. We need to find this £4,000 from somewhere. Despite trying to come up with new fundraising ideas, ultimately it is the kindness of people like yourselves who are reading this who will enable us to carry on helping cats like Clover, who would otherwise have no one. Please please donate whatever you can to help Friends Of The Cats continue fighting cruelty and neglect amongst the feline population who are so vulnerable and are in need of our help more than ever in the world in which we live in today. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any help that you can give to cats and kittens like Clover.
